CORRECTIVE PHYSICAL EDUCATION This spring semester two corrective classes in physical education were started in order that the girls with outstand- ing physical or organic defects might receive special and more individual attention. This has not been wholly pos- sible for the lack of equipment and facilities have been a decided handicap. Next semester it is hoped that more space and equipment will be available and the groups small enough that each one may receive more individual atten- tion. Then it will be possible to take care of the transitory pupils more effectively, especially the girls Who no longer need to stay in the nutrition class and yet are not ready for regular physical education. In order that corrective may be interesting and as nearly like regular physical education as possible without losing sight of the aim of the class, many adaptions are made. Not only does each girl have Wholesome Living once a week, but she also has a day for games. Points are given as in regular physical education. Those girls who are tak- ing corrective for posture training only also have a day for self-testing events. The girls who are not allowed to do these events have a chance to earn points by sleeping in the Rest Tent- Thus the girls in corrective have practically every opportunity to earn points except participation in noon games. As soon as a girl succeeds in overcoming the defect she is trying to correct she is allowed to go into a regular physical education class and receives 25 points. It will be interesting to see how many girls will receive mono- granis at the end of the semester. Miss Windham, who is new to Edison this year, is the teacher in charge of cor- rective work.
