NEED FOR PHYSICAL EDUCATION

THE FACT THAT none Of our schools has even

Yet that is the very situation here in St. Croix.

semblance of a gymnasium is a sad commentary on both the
planning and the execution Of any school building program.
Yet that is the very situation here in St. Croix.
AFTER SO MUCH planning and SO many years Of try
ing it would seem as if everything would be adequately
taken care OF, so that we have, once and for all, a school
plant or plants worthy Of the name, and which would last
for years to come, meeting, at least in part, the standard
of good school plants.
THE HEALTH Of any community is perhaps among
the first requisites for good, sound living, It is for this rea-
son that health plays such an important part in education
why public health and school officials work SO closely to-
gether for the common good.
r THE lei earliest school age, careful plan
ming and carrying out Of the health of the child is a must
Periodic examinations, corrective care and treatment, and
preventive procedures are carefully followed. Recognizing
the need for proper development, organized exercises and
play are always in the school plan. As the grades go higher
more complicated and intricate exercises are followed, and
games played.
BUT IN ADDITION to all this is the teaching of good
craftsmanship, discipline and ability to win and lose with
equal grace and understanding. Then there is the highly
important aspect Of working closely under team play and
direction. All Of these come through a well worked out pro-
Gram Of physical education which can never be without a
qymnasium, and that is what we face here.
ALL SCHOOLS should have a "gymn" as It is famiiarly
called. with at least a basketball court, and equipment tor
indoor physical education training and development. Since
nothing has been said why this important phase OF our edu-
cation is being side-tracked, it may be well if those directly
responsible took the opportunity to make a statement on
the subject. It would certainly be welcomed.
