Abstract

The aim of education is to provide for optimum, mental, physical, emotional, social growth and development of each individual to the end that he may gain increasing control over his own behavior and make satisfactory adjustments to an ever-changing society. The particular contribution of physical education to this total aim of education is the possession of enough strength, speed, agility, endurance, and skill to meet the maximum demands of the day, in work and in play.

Third, a physical education program will furnish recreation for the body and mind. Fourth, such a program will develop strong muscles, health habits, and skills.
