A recent analysis of the principal causes for rejection of istrants under Selective Service shows approximately five million men have been disqualified to serve their country because of deficiencies in health, or intelligence. About 1,500,000 men have been re- habilitated within the service, but the time required for this remedial work is a dangerous handicap in time of a great national emergency. Both public and private schools are planning re- organization of physical educational programs after the war when manpower and womanpower are again available. In the decades between the two World Wars public education made significant progress in cer fields: vocational training, guidance services, curri- culum recrganization, art and music education. But in a majority of school systems little was accom- plished in the field of improving physical health. The pattern has been to emphasize small group participa- | tion in interschool groups and one or two periods a week in general calisthenics and recreational | program The report of the Joint Committee on Physical | Fitness of the American Medical Association and the National Committee on Physical Fitness is of special importance to educational leaders and laymen who are interested in a long-term program for strengthening health education of tomorrow’s citizens. The report recommends a preadmission physical examination at five years, peridoic examinations thereafter, education in the principles of healthful living, one hour daily for physical training, cumulative health records and provisions of adequate personnel, facilities and time for the program. John W. Studebaker, United States Commissioner of Education, and many school officials in progressive States have endorsed the plan. In the | head a comprehensive program for improving al fitness should be a major goal of education. | our Government following of inte: to its own orgins, and vaguely occasion! always followed S.
