First of all and tru'y the most im
portant phase of secondary eilucatiou
is the physical being of the child. All
precautions should be made so that
the pupils can grow splendid health
ful lives. There are Innumerable rea
sons for the above statement with
which any clear thinking person will
agree.
No person can. will or should studq
If he Is unwell. On the other hand,
boys and glrla with sound bodies will
bring to their task minds more alert,
spirit more cheerful and with more
energy. Particularly is It true in
adolescence that many who have un
healthy bodies, entertains morbid
fears which better health can do so
much to banish.
The means we have at our hands
help children retain health, are:
Instruction In Hygiene, gymnastics,
sanitary surroundings and athletics.
There Is a training In volition and
'discipline In obedience to order. For
the timid nature athletics and gym
nas les afford excellent means of de
veloping self control. Thus boys and
girls are helped In athletics not only
by making them healthy and vigorous
but because df the self trust Inspired
Into them.
The aim also of our education from
every aspect should be >> equip our
pupils as fullya s possible with the
habits, insights and Ideals that will
enable them to make America more
true to its best 'faditlons and hope.
In the eighties, the Herbartlan con
ception of education, with Its empha
sis on proper psychological procedure
and on character building as the aim
of education, began to reshape our
educational theory, PsycHology has
become the specific science of the
day. It gives us both outward and in
ward views.
Theoretically, educators believe
that health is more Important t|han
quantity of knowledge. Much Is being
done to meet the needs of the pupil.
Desks are being adjusted for the phy
sical well being of Ihe child. That is
one of the first essentials, tor health
la definitely related to the vigorous
use of the trunk and legs. Instruc.
tlon should be given In exercises and
games which will bring Into play
these large fundamental muscles, and
Bhould be pushed far eirought to stim
ulate circulation, respiration, and pers
plration. Methods o I study should be
| devised which will allow more free
dom and bodily movement even in
academic work. The following list are
health Items: A careful health exami
nation which will Include (1) medi
cal inspection (2) mental examination
(3) physical examination. Other points
which a teacher should stress are; a
healthful envlroment at home, instruc
tlon in health problems and a large
amoun) of physical activity. If the
above program Is adherred to. first
one must discover how nature has
endowed the Individual.
As has been stated, medical inspec
tions should be made at the school
to discover Infectious diseases defects
in the pupil and lmprovemen V of the
sanitary conditions In the school
room. The medical Ineaeetor siiould
cooperate with the physical instruc
tor in the correction of physical de
fects. and with -(he regular teacher
or trained psychologist In the diag
nosis and treatment of mental defects.
When the physical aspects of the
pupil has been considered, the moral
and men '^1 aspect of the child is
next to be considered.
Mental examination should seek to
ascertain the mental health of the
pupil and his nervous and mental con
stitution.
The health of an Individual depends
In large measure upon a normal cen
tral nervous system and upon his at
titude of mind toward his work. The
time of entering the junior high school
(seventh grade) is the most critical
time in adolescence. Much stress in
psychology Is laid upon the necessity
of correlating the program of the pu
pil with his dominant Interest. It is
probably unnecessary to give mental
1 examination to every pupil. It is how?
[ ever necessary to give such an ex
j amlnatlon to the subnormal and sup
| ernormal pupil. For the other pupils
an! examination of their grades In
j their subjects correlated with their
I grades In physical education and man
ual training, will give a very fair In
dex of their nervous and mental health
and constitution.
Carte should be taken to differen
tiate between manual training and
physical education. Manual training
calls for the use of the small mua
Cles of the eye and hand. In physical
education the large muscles of the
arms, leg* and trunk should be used
vigorously. The types of exercise used
should be those which develop the
large muscles, which are related to
the development of vigor, endurance
and power. This exercise should b?
supplemented by skill, grace and
alertness. In every class room tka
teacher should gtve tthe cor r eat
amount of attention to good postural
habits, while standing sitting and ex
aretahv g.
Thirty tiro states have adopted a
physical education program and others
are preparing to do so. This Is not
a new wrinkle or tad, since physloal

for games for all, for games which
call into play the fundamental mus
cle groups Involved In running. Jump,
lng. throwing and climbing; all form
a large part of the program. Short
story plays, rhythmic action plays
and running games for the very tiny
tots; folk dancing, competitive athle
tics. organized games and stimulating'
drills, for the older, are the tools with
which a teacher has to work. Physical
education through games makes for
the sociRl and moral developments of
the child.
The play ground knows no race*
class or social distinction. Recogni
tion. and acknowledgement of the
rights of others must be observed in
all team work. Cooperation and team
work are synonymous. Where but on
the play field does the child leaiu the
elements of tru-! sportsmanship.' Ttc
successful team 13 the one in wtich
all members are working together in
close cooperation. Physical education
centers the attention on poSitivchealth
habits. Physical education concerns
itself directly with the growth and
development of the child.
The period of secondary education
coincides very closely with the first
half of that term of years between
the ages of 12 to 14 years and ma
turity which is known as the period
of adolescence. It is a period of growth
for the body and mind. And it is with
children who are passing through
this adolescence state that we have
to deal primarily. During childhood
the boy is -slightly larger than the
girl who is the same age but during
adolescence the girl seems to sur
pass him for about two years, there
girls grows slowly a few years and
stops, while the boy grows to a great
er size than the girl. During the pe
riod of adolescence the rapid growth
of the body and mind do not concide.
The central nervous system matures
unevenly and thus we have a corres
ponding growth by parts in the men
tal life.
During adolescence tho bones grow
rapidly, thus changing the features
of the body, giving decided change
in facial expression. The heart and
lungs grow rapidly which lessens the
chest capacity. There is a great change
In the voice of adolescence so the
teacher should be careful to ehcour
age the practice of pleasant tones.
The brain unlike most of the bodily
organs, does not increase much In
weight at adolescence. However there
are alterations In psyclln life ? the
new Instincts, feelings, Ideals, mo
tives and the general ripening of in
tellectual grasp that make up the
psychological picture of adolescence,
point unmistakably to corresponding
brain activity.
Many careful observers believe that
there is a pejlod of a year or so Just
puberty when children, especially
girls, show a surprising and Irritat
ing stupility. If this observation be
correct, it would seem to be connect
ed in some way with the physical al
terations of the period, as If brain
growth stagnated while the body was
undergoing tronsformatlon for the
function of mature years. It is not
true altogether that the mind is stag
nant during adolescence for at this
time memory expands and reaches it
maximum at 16 or 17 years. There Is
not only one kind ot memory, but there
is visual memory, auditory memory,
memory of facee, memory tor poetry
etc.
The increase of the nervous system
cause the adolescence to deal with
greater concepts than the child.
There Is a very close connection
between the body and mind so when
the body Is being made healthy, Just
so the mind is being developed dur
ing pdoleecence that the mind la reach
ing oat desiring a story with an ex
citing plot It la at this period that
the youth has such great imagina
tion, desires, tastes and preference*.
The teacher ia in a position to an
swer these longings. The question is,
la the teacher going to fill the pupils
mind with the essentlala and uplift
ing things of lite? The mind has the
brain for Ita physical basts and as the
?kind thinks, impreaalona are made
by Indentations on the brain. The
Impreaslons of youth are more last
ing because the lines and curves are
capable of being mad* dee pi that la
*hy the beat training should be given.
Also It Is a tine of habtt fenwUoo
sad the teacher can be an Importaat
factor In deteraslng tha future attest
of tha adolesoeacs.
