The training if men and women for work as coaches and physical instructors is the primary task of Coach Patrick and his staff. The work is mode as much as possible actual experience in the sports in which the individual desires to later work. An important specialized branch of physical education has been uncovered recently in the demand of the Army and Navy for trained men and women to conduct programs of physical training in army camps and in civilian work in the nation. Already 18 former Petrels are enrolled in the Services as Physical instructors. Dean Patrick is assisted in his department by Professor Davis, Dr. Meadows, o.id Martin Kelly. DR. MEADOWS PROF. DAVIS

DR. BURROWS MARK D. BURROWS, Ped.D., Dean The School of Secretarial Preparation, which is associated with the school of Commerce, but inde- pendent of it, was established to offer a course which would prepare the students, particubrly girls, for work in offices. The curriculum covers the ordinary territory of a business course, but places special emphasis on typing, shorthand, and office practice. Under the direction of Mrs. Ruth Wells Sanders, an Oglethorpe graduate, few of the girls who enroll in the school as freshmen go on to get their degrees, for the reason that the demand for train- ed office workers is so great that the average girl is working at the end of her second year.
