Stran 126 - We have watched them trying to light a cigarette (to relieve the monotony of the experiment) and puzzled by their matches going out, borrowing others, only in vain.
Stran 234 - Dance Did You Ever See a Lassie Other simple singing games and folk dances Valuable and desirable as the indoor play periods may be, they are not a complete substitute for outdoor play during the school session. When the recreational activities of children are transferred from outdoors to indoors their value is lessened through: 1. Loss of fresh air 2. Lack of sunshine 3. Restriction of space and full freedom of activity 4. Diminished pleasure 5. Narrowed range of activities 6. Extreme brevity of...
Stran 247 - The apparatus should be taken from storage and the school playgrounds made inviting to pupils out of school hours. This will necessitate additional supervision, which should be provided. 5. The swimming pools that have been begun should be completed and both swimming pools and gymnasiums should be justified by the use made of them. 6. Far more attention should be paid in the elementary grades to hardy, organized games. There both numbers and needs (even the adolescent needs) predominate, as compared...
Stran 241 - Running (in moderation) Skating Swimming Walking 5. Best loved, most commonly practiced, and with greatest primitive appeal : Dancing (greatest unanimity of opinion in this answer) * From Healthful Schools, by Ayres, Williams, and Wood.
Stran 237 - The Athletic Badge Test for girls has also been worked out and, after successful experiment, has been adopted by the Playground and Recreation Association of America. Badges, in the form of brooches, have been prepared. First Test All-up Indian [Club Race 30 seconds Basketball Throwing 2 goals, 6 trials Balancing 24 feet, 2 trials Second Test All-up Indian [Club Race 28 seconds Basketball Throwing 3 goals, 6 trials Balancing (bean-bag on head) 24 feet, 2 trials When Indian clubs are not available,...
Stran 239 - ... the problem of suitable athletic activities for girls. The problems involved in girls' athletics were much more difficult than those in boys' athletics, the athletics of boys and men being established through a long history of evolution, while girls' athletics was a new subject, which if necessary had to be largely experimental. The fundamental policies adopted by the Girls' Branch were and are: Athletics for all the girls. Athletics within the school and no inter-school competition. Athletic...
Stran 115 - ... with a covered water can or jar, or, better still, with a pressure tank supply. These are found in only 5 of the schools reporting. TOILET FACILITIES. The toilet facilities of the rural schools are, generally speaking, not only a disgrace but a menace to public health and decent morals. Not over 1 per cent of rural schools are furnished with completely sanitary toilets. This is a liberal estimate. From the descriptions given in the returns, it has been comparatively easy to decide between those...
Stran 225 - ... closed certain cross streets after 3 pm for use as playgrounds. These closed streets become real neighborhood centers, even to the extent of "block parties" being held in them by the adults of the neighborhood. When these closed sections are asphalt paved they are used extensively for roller skating. Springfield does not, with its ample school grounds, park spaces, and home grounds, face the necessity of such intensive use of streets. But the fact remains that the streets are much used for play,...
Stran 132 - These experiments seem to warrant the conclusion that there are substances present in the air of an unventilated occupied room (even when its temperature and humidity are controlled) which in some way, and without producing conscious discomfort or detectable physiological symptoms, diminish the appetite for food.
Stran 234 - ... training which have been suggested above. It is equally evident that Room Games, such as Zig Zag Bean Bag and other bean-bag games, Blackboard Relay Race, Going to Jerusalem, and the like, cannot take the place of the more vigorous athletic games for pupils 10 to 14 (not to say 15 or 16) years of age. While the Playground Games come nearer supplying the elements needed, even these fall short of what is desirable. They consist very largely of games of tag, and the simpler games played with an...
