Physical Education Classes

ment. Every child should be
able to use his body efficiently,
move gracefully, and express
himself creatively through move
ment. Skills should be taught in
a variety of games, sports,
stunts, etc. These skills bring
satisfaction, promote safety, de
velop poise, and extend social
relationships. You teach him
team work and to take the
rough and tumble, to have self
control and to be a good sport.
I think that a good physical
education program should have
the following objectives in mind
with the results indicated.
1. The aim of all education
is to enable one to live an en
riched and abundant life. This
is the ultimate goal on which all
who are concerned with educa
tion have trained their sights.
Thus there should be the physi
cal development objective,
which results in the ability to
sustain adaptive effort, the abil
ity to recover, and the ability
to resist fatigue. The value of
this objective is based on the
fact that an individual will be
more active, have better perfor
mance, and be healthier if the
organic systems of the body are
adequately developed and func
tioning properly.
2. The mental development
objective. This deals with the
accumulation of a body of know
ledge and the ability to think
and to interpert knowledge. Phy
sical activities must be learned;
hence, there is a need for think
ing on the part of the intellectual
mechanism, with a resulting ac
quisition of knowledge. The in
dividual should not only learn
coordinations but should acquire
a knowledge of such things as
rules, techniques, and strategies
involved in physical education.
3. The motor development ob
jective. This objective is con
cerned with making physical
movement useful and with as
little expenditure of energy as
possible and being proficient,
graceful, and aesthetic in his
movement. Effective motor
movement is dependent upon
harmonious working together of
the muscular and nervous sys
tems.
4. The human relations objec
tive. This is concerned with
helping an individual in making
personal adjustments, group ad-

a member of society. Activities
in a physical education program
offer one of the best opportuni
ties for making these adjust
ments, providing there is proper
leadership.

to sacrifice ones personal sel
fish interest for the greater wel
fare of the group. We learn to
cooperate as members of a team
by doing so and not by reading
or listening to lectures about it.
Competitive experience also
teaches respect for differences
in people. Respect for an in
dividual because he is a human
being not because his father has
money or his family is listed in
the social register are lessons
which can be and are being
learned in athletics today.
Paticipation in a game estab
lishes principals of sportsman
ship, fortitude and fair play
and at the same time puts a
premium on stamma.
Athletics develop confidence,
leadership, and the ability to
make decisions. To excel in ath
letics, one must live clean, be
preoccupied with wholetsome
things, and learn to take both
victory and defeat graciously.
Kids love sports. The sports
world has a way of creating con
fidence in a person. When one
excells in a sport, he gets the
feeling he can excel in a lot of
other things.
A competitive spirit can be
cultivated in a good athletic
program. A truly great athlete
is one who can be motivated to
compete in all endeavors and
not just in athletics.
We think our athletic program
is geared on a high level and
it is in good perceptive in rela
tion to the entire college pro
gram. We hope that our entire
student body as well as our
athletes learn some of the les
sons which are made possible
by participation in athletics.

Honored On
94th Birthday
THE CHOWANIAN is indebted
to Miss Eunice Evans for the
following news story concerning
the former Miss Minda Cham-
blee who graduated from Cho
wan College about 1890.
From the Winston-Salem Sen-
tienel of March 4 came the fol
lowing:
“Birthdays and new officers
shared the spotlight at a Crafton
Heights Club luncheon at the
Woman’s Club today.
“Twenty-two members and
guests were present for the
club’s 45th birthday, but the ce
lebration really centered on a
charter member who also is ob
serving a birthday today—her
94th. She is Mrs. J. R. Hankins,
the club’s oldest member. The
birthday cake was in her honor.
“Mrs. Hankins is also one of
the club’s new officers.”
SCOUTING ADVICE
An Ivy league football coach,
faced with the prospect of
playing Princeton during the era
of All American Dick Kazmaier,
sent his head scout out to look
over the tailback the week be
fore.
“Don't tell me what he does
and can do," the coach said,
just tell me how we can keep
from being hurt by this guy.
Just tell me how to keep him
from scoring."
So the scout watched Kaz
