Others, more indulgent, take time to explain. An individual asked, 'Why physical educa- t1on?' The answer could be briefly stated , 'Because the State Board of Regents demands it.' That alone is not enough. A program of physical education includes instruction and practice in the following types of activities, graded according to the pup1l's capacities, needs, and interests: rhythms and dances, games, free exercises or callsthenics, athletics, self-testing stunts and tumbling, marching tactics, gymnastics, swimming and other miscellaneous activities. It has been the objective of this depart- ment to conduct all activities in suchaman- ner as to develop a solrlt of co-operation and friendliness between 1nd1v1dusls,groups, schools, and communit1es,and secure the best physical, social, moral, and cultural growth of all those who come ln contact with such activities, no matter how remotely. The one ultimate aim of physical educa- tion is to teach each individual to Wgrown both physically and mentally, and to make this period of growth as interesting as pos- sible, yet meet each individual need. ADULT EDUCATION Adult education classes were offered for the first time last year by the faculty and two men from the village. These classes were held on each monday night for six weeks last year and seven weeks this year. In order to allow those registering to visit more cour- ses,two classes were held during the evening one beginning at seven and the other at eight. The purpose of the classes was to make available to the general public the school facilities without charge.

20 ' X AGRICULTURE nAt the head of all sciences and arts, at the head of civilization and progress,stands not mllltarism, the science that kills, not commerce, the art that accumulates-but agri- culture, the mother of all industry, and the maintainer of human l1fe.n Through our F.F.A., a nation-wide organi- zation, we learn the proper way to conduct a meeting, proper forms for committee reports, and experience in planning social functions. The agricultural course is of very definite value to the community, provided a spirit of cooperation exists between the people of the community and the department.We try to prune all grape vines and fruit trees each year that our schedule allows, and many of the farmers send in milk to be tested or farm tools and machinery to be repaired. We have forty members ir the department at the present t1me,all doing their best to ac- complish as much as possible in their four years here and finally to step out into the world,c1t1zens of which the community can be proud!
