Page 125 text:

THE ARGONAUT MCMXVII Girls' Physical Culture ' FROM the beginning of this school year, training in physical edu- cation has been required of all students who are physically able. Because of heavy schedule, Mr. Price was relieved of all the High School girls' classes in Januaryg now under Miss Brown's charge, the girls' classes meet two days a weeh with periods forty- iive minutes in length. The worh is interesting and very enjoyable. It consists largely of marches, drills with wands, dumb-bells, and Indian- clubs, folh drills, corrective exercises, first aid worh and various games such as volley ball, corner ball, indoor baseball, and num- erous others with bean bags. These games 'exercise all muscles of the body and tend to strengthen them and give the body grace. The use of music with all drills makes them more interestiffg. To give the public an ideaof the work, Miss Brown is plan- ing to give a public demostration. Each of the eight girls' classes will have a definite part. The worh will be the same as that reg- ularly taken up in classes. ' 'B i - Although this is the first year physical training? has been tried here, it -has been found very beneficial, and with such an excellen teacher as Miss Brown, no girl can help but receive a large amount of help from the work. Besides the physical benefit, the work is so different from that of other classes that it gives the student a period of recreation.

--THE-ARG0NAUT-1YlQ1!lXYIL- , Boy's Physical Culture Class The addition of the physical training course to our school system has been one of the most beneficial and 'important in re- cent years. This course being comparitively new to the boys, it was with considerable difliculty that Mr. Price, our instructor, caused us to realize the benefits that such a course offers, We have reason to believe that the course has grown in popularity among the boys. Our school system now aims at accomplishing a two-fold purpose, namely, a proper development of the mind, andpa Ht- ting development of the body, the latter being a necessary step toward gaining the first, U N , ln order to realize the importance of this course we appreciate the place of preeminence it has taken among the' most fully developed school system of the whole world, the educaa tional efficiency having increased immeasurably.
