All teachers of the Robeson
County schools and special charter
districts within the county met this
week with members of the School
Health Coordinating Service to
discuss health education and phy
sical education methods.
Members of the coordinating ser
vice who were in the county for a
series of conferences were Charles
E. Spencer, director; Mrs. Annis
Ray Moore, health educator; and
Miss Ruth O. Moore, physical di
rector.
The meeting stressed the fact
that health and physical edu
cation should become a reg
ular part of the teaching day’s
routine and that each teacher
should have experience teach
ing physical education.
Physical education, it was point
ed out, is more than a play pe
riod, and develops skills, coordina
tion and strength with which stu
dents can meet future problems.
Teachers were reminded of the
dents have 30 minutes daily of
physical education instruction and
that in the high school, Ninth
graders must have a complete unit
in health and physical education.
Types of physical education were
listed as rhythm games, ring
games, lead up team games, big
team games, relays, stunts and seh
testing and mimetics.
The necessity for adequate space
and equipment for physical educa
tion also was stressed.
Teachers were urged to keep
in mind that gymnasiums
should be made available for
as many students as possible
and not monopolized by var
sity squads.
