has been suggested in connection with the proposed manual arts building a department of
physical training which will be of great benefit to the students of Rock Island high
school and eventually, when the field of work warrants, to the pupils of the grammar
grades as well. This department is one which should receive considerable attention,
especially in a city the size of Rock Island. At present the stronger youths of the high
school receive the benefits of the athletics, but the smaller boys have an opportunity to
do little more than look on. As a result the ones that need the physical development are
left without it, while those who are stronger receive all the benefits. With a manual arts building---and it's almost certain a new one will be erected in Rock Island within a very short time---room should be provided for a capacious and well equipped gymnasium for the conduct of a physical training department. Members of the board of education are considering this phase of the school work in addition to the increase of facilities and scope of the manual training and domestic science departments. INSTRUCTOR NEEDED In order to organize the physical culture work, it would be necessary to add a physical instructor to the high school facility. This instructor would be in charge of the athletics of the school. He would direct the training of all teams and see to it that the boys played games for more than the mere glory of the thing. It would probably take some time to place this work on a firm foundation, as there is no organization of the work. However whether the new gymnasium is provided for in the new building or not, it is argued that the physical training be placed upon an organized scale as soon as possible. It is probable that a physical will be added next fall. Classes in physical culture would be conducted each afternoon, and the girls as well as the boys would be required to take the work. There is room in the high school gymnasium for such work, but the equipment would be limited. BETTER SCHOOL SPIRIT With the increased facilities for the manual training branches and the addition of the physical training department the Rock Island high school would be placed in the front ranks in high school work, and with such advantages to offer to the young people of the city, the number to enroll in the school each year would undoubtedly be increased. The addition of this department would also tend to preserve a better order and better spirit throughout the entire school. |
