New Athletic Policy.

w located at the Central Y. M. c.
A., is establishing a new policy in
physical education. The entire pro-
gram will now be handled by the
trained staff of physical directors of
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. This year particular emphasis
will be placed upon the individual
boy, finding the activity for him, rather
than trying to fit him into a set pro-
gram.
First, each boy receives a medical
examination by a physician on the
Y. M. C. A. staff. This is required
before he may enter any physical ac-
tivity. He is also given a physical
efficiency test at the beginning and
end of the year in order that an OBJ
jective method of measuring progress
can be had. Parents are notified of
the results OF their sons medical ex-
animation and personal interviews
with parents are welcomed.
Periodic health lectures and discus
sions are conducted from time TO time
by members of the medical and phys
ical staffs and parents will be invited
to attend any of them.
1t is planned to have representa-
tive teams in basket ball, boxing,
wrestling, swimming, tennis and pos
sibly track and soft ball.
