HYSICAL EDUCATION should bring the individual to the one hundred per cent level of possible vitality, both physical and mental, and hold him there. Physical Training is the upbuilding of the muscles through systematized exer- cise. Physical Education gives the individual more than merely bulging muscles. Aims of the Physical Education Department: a. Knowledge and practice of common laws of health. b. A discovery and overcoming of the principal physical defects. c. A presentable, self-respecting posture. d. The training of the body along the lines of beauty in action and rest. e. Moderate skill and ability in the common forms of sport, especially those carried into later life. f. Passing of the standard tests in athletics at the proper ages, and, finally, achieving the symmetrical development of social and physical co-ordination represented by the state letter. g. Formation of social adjustments and friendships. h. Development of right ideals of personal conduct. The attaining of the above named aims of Physical Education will give the student an opportunity to take his place as a more useful member of society.
