What’s the matter with the physical training in the At
lanta public schools?
That there is something radically wrong few will deny.
The other day I got a couple of conflicting views.
I talked with one well-informed man who said, in effect:
“Thoy don’t give enough time to physical exercises in the
Atlanta public schools. Fifteen minutes n day is a farce. Think
what a ridiculous amount that is for the development .of bodies,
compared to the hours and hours given over to the development
of their minds.
“For another thing, tho schools ought to have adequate
playgrounds. Look at tho millions that are being spent in the
big cities like New York and Chicago to acquire playgrounds.
And here in Atlanta we are lucky to have a few paltry thou
sands to spond on them.’’
And there you have one view.

Will Be Decided on Frank
lin Field.
Later in the same day I talked with a teacher. This was, in
a general way, her complaint:
“Physical oxercise, as it is conducted in the Atlanta schools
now, is a farce. It does absolutely no good—Perhaps it does harm.
“The chief weakness of the system is that they make it tor
ture to tho children instead of a pleasure. They have fifteen
minutes. In that time they must march out, take thoir places,
go thru thoir drills, play one running game, and march bock.
The discipline while this is going on is as strict as at any time
during the school day—really more strict, in fact. Tho children
must not laugh, cry ont, sing, shout or give vent to their feel
ings in any way. This evdn holds true for the game. It must
be played in absolute silence.
“Then, too, the children are marked on their work, just as
strictly rs tho it were arithmetic or botany. This absolutely
takes all the joy out of the work. Tho result is that tho chil
dren hate their physical exercise above all things. If the weath-
cr is a bit bad or there is any other possible excuse for getting
out of it, they will plead and beg that they do not have to take
the work. Now, when children are so sot as that against hav
ing fifteen minutes’ exercise in the open air, there is something
wrong with tho system.”
And thore you have it.
Wo find ourselves largely in accord with all the views ad
vanced.
In the first place, fifteen minutes is not adequate for physi
cal work. A half hour a day is all too little. In half that
time nothing worth doing can be accomplished. Building up
your body by taking fifteen-minute oxercisos is like committing
Ovid to memory by rubbing the book across your forehead a
couple of times a day.
We all admit that more playgrounds are needed. Every
school ought to havo an adequate yard. And while it is im
possible to provide real playgrounds for some of the old schools,
the need for them could be borne in mind when new buildings
are being built.

Moving on to tho question of the discipline that is enforced,
we nro beginning to get mighty near to an answer to the ques
tion, “Whnt is wrong with tho present system of physical train
ing in the lpcal schools!”
Unless physical drill can bo given in a manner that makes it
enjoyable to the nverago boy or girl, then it might better be
done swny with. Whnt harm if the children yell and laugh and
romp a bit while the drills are going on? They are out of the
school building, whero they will disturb nobody. And, instead
of gottiug loss benefit from the drills by sandwiching in a little
fun, THEY WILL BE BENEFITED A THOUSAND TIMES
MOHE.
Of eourse, the children could not run wild at such a time,
hut they could have tho benefit of a slightly relaxed discipline.
Think of the lunacy of a running game in absolute silence.
One might as well prohibit rooting at a college football con
test or yelling at a boll game. -
You an paste this in your hat with glue:
CHILDHEN WILL GAIN NO BENEFIT, FROM PHYSI
CAL DRILLS THAT ARE MADE A LABORIOUS AND UN-’
PLEASANT TA8K. Unless.they can enjoy theta, they might ns
well not have them. Until tho exercises are put on such a basis
in Atlanta that the majority of tho childern will vote that they
enjoy them, then they are a rotten failure.

The very fact that tho children are marked for their phys

thoae in charge have missed the point entirely.
Are children taking wand drills, for example, in order to be

Or are they taking thorn to develop their muscles and im
prove their bodily health.
If they are taking them to attain the former object, then
by all means mark them strictly. But if they are taking them
to develop their bodies, then for goodness sake forget all this
marking stuff and give them such exercises ns they will take
