The approach Of the Olym-

tion on the weakness Of physi-
cal training Id this country.
Americas chances Of becoming

are depressinely slim. Grad
ually the realization Is deyel-

Is on the way 10 hec0m-

than . participating nation In

Back In the early days Of
World War II . meeting Of ex-
perts representing the Army,
the National Amateur Ath-
lstic Union, the Red Cross and
various collegiate groups
worked out d set Of standards
covering physical development
for both boys and girls from 8
to Is. These standards I'M
yolyed the I'VE basic muscular
activities: Running. jumping,
climbing. lifting and throwing.
They were divided into two
year age brackets starting with
8 and 4 and going up TO 10.
and into separate categories
for boys and girls.
The AAU undertook to pro-
mote the program and issued
pamphlets listing the various
events and the minimum per-,
formances required for quail
ficati0n. Engraved certificates
Of proficiency were prepared 70

ards. It should be emphasized
that q child participating had
two years during which the
fminimuins could be met.
Poor Performances Here
Some months ago q test was
/ run In q number Of schools In
the washington Metropolitan
Area involving four events. the
sprint. pull-np. softball throw
and broad jump. The results
were not encouraging.
In the elementary schools
less than half qualified. In
the Junior high schools there
was d better result. with well
over 30 per cent qualifying.
For the entire group. one out
OF three failed 10 make the

Contrasting to these results.
In one Junior high school where
the physical education direc-
tor has been using AAU stand
ards for several years, every
child not physically handi-
capped met every standard.
Some surprising results were
obtained In the tests. For In
