THE GYMNASIUM FOREWORD The increasing demand for men and women of Univer- sity training who are prepared to teach athletics and phy- sical education in High Schools and Colleges has led the Universit3^ to offer special courses in these subjects in the Summer Session. The demand for such teachers has been so greatly in excess of the supply, that many positions have been filled each year by persons who have had no special training. Statistics show that not more than one- third of these prove successful; on the other hand the records show that fully 75 per cent of those who have had adequate training make successful teachers. There is a broad field of opportunity along these lines ranging from summer positions in public playgrounds at $75 to $100 per month to permanent positions in secondary schools, colleges, and municipal recreation systems at from one thousand to twenty-five hundred dollars per year. Many of these positions require men and women able to teach one or more academic subjects in addition to coaching athletic teams or conducting classes in physical training. The salary of an elementary or high school teacher who is able to take charge of work in athletics or general physical education is from 25 to 50 per cent higher than that of one who is not prepared to direct these activities. In this connection it is to be noted that inquiries con- cerning prospective candidates are quite different from those formerly received. In almost every case the emphasis is laid upon the character and training of the candidate, upon his ability to influence the ideals and standards of conduct, to promote physical, mental, and moral welfare, and above all, to use for these purposes the athletic and play activities of the school. Great skill as a player and ability to turn out “winning” teams regardless of the standards of sportman- ship are no longer the first considerations. 5 6 The Ohio State University In presenting these athletic courses, in a field that is somewhat new, the officers of administration feel that they are offering an opportunity for thorough study in the theory and practise of subjects for which there is a great and legitimate demand. They believe, too, that the students earnest devotion of his energy to work of these courses will result in his being able to inculcate in those with whom he comes in contact, as athletic director, the highest ideals of sportsmanship and character. COURSES IN ATHLETICS The three following courses are intended for persons who are interested in or have charge of athletics in secondary and higher schools. 101.
