PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT FOR
WOMEN TO BE PARt OF
NEW CURRICULUM
imysical Education tor Women has
developed so rapidly in the last fifteen
years that today it stands as one ol
the most important subjects in any
educational institution. Not only has
this been important in Schools and
Colleges, but industrial and social un
ions, athletic clubs, settlements and
factories have introduced it onto their
programs as a necessary part of the
industrial life.
In looking back into the occupa
tions and life habits of our ancestors
we find that they have lived under
conditions of civilization but a com
paratively short time. During former
times they lived a life of most stren
uous physical exertion and as a result
of their occupations both men and
women were vigorous and strong.
Habits of life changed from time to
time but until very recently they led
lives of great bodily activity. One
hundred years ago over 95 per cent
of the population of the United States
lived in the country and pioneer life
called for muscular work which de
veloped a sturdy race of people.
Modern life has changed the occu
pations and habits of our peoples so
that the development of bodily vigor
has been greatly curtailed. Modern
machinery, which does the work for
merly done by muscle has brought
this about. The weakness and lack
of development that inevitable follows
a sedentary life causes in turn, a
weakness of the great vital functions
of the body which makes people less
able to resist the attack of disease
germs and entirely new nervous dis
orders have recently made their ap
pearance.
There are three ways in which the
health and vigor of the American
people may be improved. The first of
these is the choice of more active and
healthful occupations. A second line
of activities is that of active plays,
games and outdoor recreations. Gym
nastic training constitutes the third
group of agencies for betterment of
physique. Under the observance and
control of a teacher these exercises
can be varied to suit the needs and
interests of the students. Certain
definite movements of the body have
been planned to accomplish certain
purposes which may be the correction
of posture, the development of cer
tain muscles, the acquiring of a cer
tain kind of skill, or simple pleasure.
Nearly all of the states in the Un
ion require physical education to be
taught in their schools. Other states
will soon institute the same laws,
while most of the important cities in
all the states have long since had
this subject in their curriculum. At
the opening of the College this year
year courses in Gymnastics Training
will be offered. General Calisthenics,
Volley Ball, Tennis, Basket Ball,
Track Work and Corrective Gymnas
tics will comprise these courses. Stan
dard types of exercises and their uses
will be included in the general floor
work in Calisthenics. This Comprises
all forms of up to date gymnastics.
The work for the most part will be
offered without apparatus and include
simple and complex exercises, special
drills, gymnastic games and dancing.
Special attention to exercises which
correct faulty carriage, spinal curva
ture, flatfoot and muscular contrac
tions will be given. A study in per
sonal hygiene' will be included in the
general program.
ivnss urace Clark, who taught in the
Fairbanks High School during the
terra of 1923-1924 has been appointed
to the position of Director of Physi
cal Education at the College. Miss
Clarke is a graduate of the University
of North Dakota in the Liberal Arts
Course and besides her physical edu
cation work at the University of North
Dakota has had special preparation
for physical education work at the
University of Minnesota. With, the
completion of the west wing ample
space is provided for physical educa
tion courses. The entire second floor,
53 by 82 feet is one room which will
be used for athletics and as an as
sembly room.
The common council will meet to
night in the town hall at 7 o’clock
sharp. "
