Physical Education
The new Body Mechanics room at the North Quincy High School has made it possible to meet the needs of many more pupils. With this addition we can now have three classes of physical education going on at the same time with additional provisions for special rest cases.
The loss of the Body Mechanics room at the Quincy High School on the other hand has retarded the work started last year. With a
447
REPORT OF SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
class on both sides of the dividing curtain it is very difficult to give individual instruction to pupils needing this special work. We are attempting to "carry on" but I am afraid the results are not going to be encouraging.
Special Posture Classes are now carried on daily in the element- ary schools by special physical education teachers.
All elementary school playgrounds have been permanently marked for various types of games for recess periods. Basketball backstops have been erected in most of the school yards and are a source of joy to the kiddies.
The new shower and locker room at the North Quincy High School is a great improvement and should pay dividends in im- proved health. It is regrettable that better shower facilities are not available for the girls at the Quincy High School for these girls have had excellent instruction in the importance of bathing while in the Junior High Schools.
Physical Fitness tests were given by the regular staff of Physical Education teachers. These tests are used to classify pupils in physical education and to measure their progress.
The P. F. I. Defined: The Physical Fitness Index is a measure of physical condition. It is calculated by dividing one's achieved Strength Index by a norm of one's sex, weight and age at the time of testing. The average individual less than 21 years old will have a P. F. I. of about 100. Others less than 21 years old will have P. F. I.'s varying from about 40 to 200. Older persons will decline in P. F. I. until, at death their P. F. I.'s will be 000, as will also be their powers to perform physical acts.
What High P. F. I.'s Indicate: Individuals with indices above 100 will have greater physical and mental endurance and precision of movement than those with lower scores. That is, they will be able to keep going longer, more efficiently and at greater speeds, and recuperate faster from fatigue or illness. They will be able to do more work in a given time than others of the same sex, weight and age whose P. F. I.'s are lower. Extremely high P. F. I.'s indicate the same need for study as do low P. F. I.'s.
What Low P. F. I.'s Indicate: The lower the P. F. I. the greater the need for special exercise, diet, rest, and advice by physicians and physical educators. Low P. F. I.'s are the results of physical defects, improper food or eating habits, improper exercise, emo- tional disturbances, or other physical or mental strains or drains or injuries. Individuals with P. F. I.'s below 85 to 90 ought to engage in supervised remedial activities or rest daily until their indices are 100 or higher. Otherwise, they are likely to decline steadily in physical fitness to even lower levels.
Comparisons: Repeated P. F. I. tests are of inestimable value in determining whether one is gaining or losing in physical fitness and therefore whether one's corrective regime is adapted to one's needs. Many cases are on record of obscure defects and wrong habits, which escaped the attention of physicians and physical educators, being discovered through comparison of P. F. I. records. It is easily possible for individuals of almost any age to raise their P. F. I.'s from 40 to 100 per cent, with proportionate increase in physical fitness, power for service and personal happiness. A comparison of test results from year to year will help the administrator to evalu- ate the effectiveness of program content and teaching techniques.

Recreation and Athletics
Our diversified program of recreation and athletics has reached many more pupils than would be possible if we concerned ourselves with varsity sports only. The administrator who permits teachers to spend most of their time working with the few highly skilled pupils may be justly criticized. This is precisely what happens, however, where the interscholastic sports program dominates the whole program of Education.
Dr. Alexes Carrel in his book "Man the Unknown" writes, "Ath- letics, as an end is meaningless. But, as a procedure to acquire health, harmony, and strength of body, athletics is highly signifi- cant."
The following diagram illustrates this philosophy. The base of the triangle representing HEALTH DEVELOPMENT presents a strong foundation. To invert this triangle, by giving interscholastic activity the major consideration, is to weaken its support and also its educational value.

It would be thoughtless on my part to let this opportunity pass without paying tribute to the fine work which is being done by the members of my staff. Physicians, nurses, health service workers, physical education teachers, recreation teachers, faculty managers and coaches have played a large part in the successful functioning of the program.
The ultimate significance of any health program is, however, the improvement of the physical condition of every child through follow-up work. It is the objective of this department to render every possible means to that end. Much of the success of this follow-up depends upon the interest and cooperation of the parents. It is hoped that each succeeding year may bring about an increase in the Health consciousness of parents so that this objective may be expanded and developed into satisfactory fruition.
Respectfully submitted,
JAMES J. CARTER. Director, Health Education.
