ENACTING LAWS
FOR PHYSICAL
EDUCATION
_t
WASHINGTON, March 6.—A quick
encd appreciation in all nations of th
value of physical education has rt
suited from the war, according to Or
P- P. Claxton, commissioner of th
bureau of education, and has beer
evidenced in this country by the en
actment of laws in eight states requir
ing physical training in the publii
schools.
A bulletin issued by the bureau
summarizing legislation on the sub
ject, notes that in France a stronf
central committee has been former
to promote physical education, and ir
England comprehensive provisions
have been incorporated in the new
education law.
Illinois was the first of the Ameri
can states to require physical train
ing by statute, passing the law ii
June, 1915. Since that time New
York, New Jersey, Nevada, Rhode
Island, California, Maryland and Dela
ware have enacted similar laws ane
six other states, Massachusetts. Con
:• neeticut, Pennsylvania, Nebraska
Ohio and Colorado have given legis
:j lative attention to the subject Ini
:• have not acted.
•: In most states which have, consul
ered physical education, the inilia
>: impulse to action was interest in mill
tary preparedness and tool; the forii
■: of bills for military training of higl
school boys. Investigation rcsulte.
in convincing the legislators, the Hu
let in says, that military training lo
youths was less valuable even as
:j: measure of preparedness Hum a soli
system of physical training.. With th
•:j exception of Nevada, where the la'
" applies to high schools only, the law
apply to all school children and th
time requirement ranges from on
hour each school week to two hour
and a half.

AMERICAN BUSINESS MEN
PREPARING FOR BOON
LAREDO, Tex., March Amcr
can business men have been prepa:
ing for a boom in Mexican busines
since regulations governing export:
tion of food and general supplies t
Mexico have been modified, ^preset
tatives of scores of nationally know
concerns have passed through t’ni
border city recently to arrange IV
establishing branch houses or'distril
uting warehouses in Mexico.
Business interests here believe tint
within the next three months all sin
cial export restrictions will be n
moved and goods will pass iut
Mexico as freely as before the Mex
can disturbances began. Recent mod
fications have been so extensive th;
the embargoes now cover only fe
commodities.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS
IN ALASKA
(Continued from Page Three.)
Alaska teachers is seven and one-half
years. Approximately 60 per cent have
had previous teaching experience in
> Alaska, while 50 per cent have had
_ experience both inside and outside
Alaska. While statistics on the sub
, ject are not now available, 1 believe
, that no state in the Union can present
a record of teachers so 'veil qualified
by professional training and experi
. ence as those of Alaska. '
The total enrollment for the terri
tory is 3,341, of which number 3,046
. are enrolled in the elementary school
and 295 in the high school. The num
ber of boys and girls enrolled is very
nearly equal, there being 1,666 of the
former and 1,675 of the latter.
The smallest schools of the terri
tory are generally unable to present
work in either manual training or do
mestic science, due to lack of equip
ment and the fact that the teacher's
time is too well taken to permit at
tention to these activities. At least
some work along this line is, however,
[ done in approximately one-fourth of
the schools, fifteen in all offering com
plete course or partial courses, hive
of the larger communities offer a com
plete course in manual training and
: domestic science, including woodwork
ing, sewing and cooking, in both high
I and elementary schools. One school
offers complete courses in these sub
, jects in the elementary school alone,
, and nine offer a partial course in
, either the high school or elementary
grades.

( drawing are employed in but a few
j of the larger schools, although these
, subjects arc given under the direction
of the class room teachers throughout
, the schools generally. Orchestra and
a chorus work also have t place in the
curriculum of several of the larger
schools. In many localities the phys
ical education work offered is confined
to such ealisthenic exercises as can be
conducted in the school room and to
general playground activities. The
■ larger communities, however, afford
facilities for gymnasium work. Mili
1 tary drill as a regular [tart of the re
quired course has found its way into
s a few of the schools. Medical insnec
tion and dental examination of school
3 children is not carried on generally,
' but eight schools providing for the
1 former and two for the latter during
K the 1917-1918 school year. Increased
1 attention to physical education is in
*' eluded in the plans for future in
creased efficiency.
1 Territorial school laws provide for
the establishment of night schools and
carry an appropriation for the support
1 of the same. Seven communities took
I’ advantage of the provisions of the law.
1 The total enrollment in these schools
1 was 4*>6, this number representing
' twenty-four different nationalities.
Alaska has at present no schools
offering a higher grade of work than
that covered by the high school. An
' Agricultural College and School of
.. Mines is. however, under course of
construction near Fairbanks, and plans
:• are under way for its operation during
:• the school year 1919-20. Tills college
was founded in accordance with grants
:• of land and money as provided in the,
:• acts of congress approved August HO,
|: 1S90, and March 4, 1915. The building
:• is being erected and equipped from
funds appropriated by the territorial
legislature.
