CHAPTER I

JSfROPPCflOf

At Arlington State College the department of Health and

Physical Education means intramural athletics and intercol-

legiate athletics* Very little attention has tees given to

required physical education, from the beginning of the school

a great deal of emphasis has been placed on military training,

and for various reasons, some real and some imaginary, required

physical education has not been attempted.

For a long time physical education was regarded as an

activity to give a student the needed amount of physical exer-

cise, and it has been the opinion of sows school people and.

lapses. that R. o. T. C. would serve the same purpose.

Although the 1#. 0. T. C. and physical education depart*

seats, each in its respective field, sight stress some OOHIIEIOH

objectives, for the most part, the standards ©f a college health

and physical education department are quite different fro®

those of the H. 0. T. C. The extent of the differences between

the two departments became very significant as this study pro-

gressed.

Since Arlington State College is a junior college with

a large number of students taking terminal work, it provides

the last opportunity many of its graduates will have to learn

Page 10: TOR mmm Dmnwmwt - UNT Digital Library

new sports in & supervised program of physical education.

IJnfortmately, much of their time at the college is used in

the relatively crowded class and laboratory schedule. It is

important that a college-sponsored program provide the students

with recreational skills that will be usable after they have

left college. Emphasis should be placed on teaching those

team and individual sports that the student will be likely to

play when he is away from the college facilities#

Statement of the Problem

The problem undertaken in this Investigation was that of

making an evaluation of the Physical Education Program of

Arlington Stat® College with recommendations for future devel-

opment.

Definition ©f fems

The investigator has used the following terms in the

CHAPTER II.

A: BRIEF HISTORICAL DESCRIPTION

OF MUIQTGi STATE COLLEGE

For a ntBHber of years m institution of learning in the

form of a college has been located in Arlington* Its early

history is one of change,, both in management and philosophy,

bat there is evidence of a consistent desire on the part of

the residents of the community to have a college in'this

vicinity*

Arlington College was opened in 1895, and was closed in

1900 because of financial difficulties. After a period of

fund-raising and reorganisation, Carlisle Military Academy

opened in 1901 and continued through 1913, when financial

troubles sad a low enrolls®t again forced it *t@ close. In

the fall of 1913, still smother attempt was made, this time

under the nam® of Arlington Training School. It continued

&s~ such until 1917 *

In that year, the legislature of the State of Texas

first took an active interest in the Arlington school and

•changed one® sore the nature ©f the Institution* - Judge ?. M,

Grubbs of Greenville, a former legislator, urged the legisla-

ture to establish a vocational school in forth Texas. He

came to Arlington and found the local leaders of this city

'Hilling to supply the neeessary local support for his plan*

On March 16* 1917, & bill was enacted providing that a state

Page 14: TOR mmm Dmnwmwt - UNT Digital Library

college should be established to Arlington, contingent upon

tli@ meeting of certain obligations by the people of that city.

The bill stipulated that the local citizens should donate on®

hundred acre® of good land in addition to the property of Car-

lisle Military Academy* which should be debt free.1 The record

show that the conditions were met during the same year, and

the Arlington School, this time with the name of Orubbs Voca-

tional College* became, along with John farleton State Agri-

cultural College, a part of the Agricultural and Mechanical £

College of Texas* These two Colleges were the first publicly-

supported junior colleges in the South* The college opened

in the fall of 1917 with twenty-six boys and forty girls

enrolled* M. L. Williams was appointed the chief adminis-

trative officer.

In 1923, the name was changed to forth Texas Junior Agri-

cultural, Mechanical, and Industrial College.3 This formid-

able appellation was popularly, but not officially, shortened*,

to North Texas Agricultural College or •1-tac", as it was

called by the students.- In 1925, Williams resigned and

£• B. Davis accepted the position* He continued

the State ojf Texas, passed by the Thirty-fifth legislature at its regular session, January 9.,. 1917, p* 60.

in this capacity until 1946, at which time £• H. Hereford

was installed. In 1948, the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical

College System was established and the institution at Arling-

ton became a part of the system, instead of a "branch* of Texas

A, and M. College. The title of the chief administrative offi-

cer was changed fro® •Dean*- to "President.M In 194©, the name

of the college was changed by the legislature to its present

form—Arlington State College.

Two major characteristics of the philosophy of Arlington

State College are traceable to its close relationship to Texas

A, andH.College: the military organization of the student body

and the staff, and the emphasis in the curriculum upon voca-

tional and technical subjects. The first of these Is of con-

siderable importance to this study and will be considered in

some detail. The students were among the very few in. state-

supported institutions to wear Amy R. 0. T. C. uniforms at

all tines m the campus and to be subject to the discipline '

of a military organization in the dormitories and during class

hours. For many years the Professor of Military Science and

Tactics was also the Commandant of men. in the latter capacity

he ruled in disciplinary matters and administered within the

dormitory through an organization of cadet officers. Recently,

the two responsibilities have been separated, and a civilian

commandant is in charge of the cadets. With a strong military

flavoring in its background, Arlington Starts College has

developed those traditions and usages which are to be found

Page 16: TOR mmm Dmnwmwt - UNT Digital Library

8

In most of the schools of such a character, especially Texas

A and M College,

The second characteristic, that of emphasis on tech-

nical and vocational training, owes much of its strength to

the efforts of its second dean. E# 1* Davis. For a number of

years he conducted a study of the needs of industry in the

area in which the college is located and examined the offer-

ings of leading technical institutions throughout the country.

From these studies he developed a group of terminal courses

in engineering and allied fields which have been offered 4

during the last twenty years. On a comparative basis, it

appears that Arlington say legitimately be regarded as a

leader in terminal education in the junior college field.

There is no question but that the college is thought of pub-

licly and offically as predominantly a technical institution. .

M connection with the nature of the courses offered,

however, a curious fact becomes evident upon examination of

the enrollment of the various classes. The fact is that the

bulk of the students take the academic courses of English,

History, and Mathematics while at Arlington State College.

Consequently, the number of faculty members in these depart-

ments far exceeds that of the other departments combined * In

reality then, the emphasis, in terns of student hours, is on

the traditional liberal arts subjects at Arlington State College.

% . H. Hereford, "Report to the Board of Directors," 1951, p. 2.

Page 17: TOR mmm Dmnwmwt - UNT Digital Library

There is yet a third characteristic of the college that

has nothing to do with its connection with Texas A. and M. Col-

lege; the fact that it has been- co-educational since its

beginning* However, the student body has always been pre-

dominantly male. This is d m to several factors. XJntil

1946, no dormitory facilities were available for women stu-

dents. Those vho could not live at home and coazcute lived

in private homes in the city of Arlington. The present

dormitories accommodate only eighty-four women. The college

has appealed more to the male population because of its excel-

lent military program, its emphasis on technical and scien-

tific courses, and the employment opportunities in this vici-

nity for male students with technical training.

The presence of wobmui students on the campus has, how-

ever, been a definite influence. Certain courses such as

Hoaas Economics, Physical Education for Women» and Typing and

Shorthand have appealed mainly to the girls. The faculty

includes a Dean of Women and a number of other women faculty

members, probably more than would be found in an all-raale

college.

The growth of the college was slow in the early years,

as shown by Figure 1, but accelerated rapidly after 19S3

•when the name was changed. The depression of the early '30's

caused & considerable decline in student registration. The

drop was short-lived, however, and in 1933 the enrollment

began to increase again and continued to do so until the

beginning of the Second World War, at wbieh time the enroll-

sent took a decided decline again* With the return of ex-

Service men and the enactment of the G. X* Bill, 1946 showed

an unprecedented increase in enrollment with the long-term

student count going to 2,498. More than 1400 of these were

ex-Service men*. The enrollment stoadily declined after that

year due to the withdrawal of veterans, the war in Kor«a,'the

excellent employment opportunitiss, and small high school en-

rollment* 'In the last two years there has been a definite

increase„ and there am indications that future enrollment

will fee larger.

Arlington State College has drawn a large portion of its

students from Dallas and Tarrant Counties* Because of its

central location, students were able to commute from Dallas

sad fort Worth, as well as from Grand Prairie, Irving, and

other smaller centers* This has meant that the college has

been largely a day school with a relatively small dormitory

population. Among the resident students there is a fairly

even distribution from counties in forth and East Texas*

Several agencies will control the future of Arlington

State College j asong them the legislature, the Board of Direc-

tors of the Texas A.and System, and the voting populace of

Texas# So factor has been more apparent in recent years,

however, than the tremendous population increase and urbanisa-

tion of the geographical area in which it is located. The

last census listed, mom than one million people in a forty

Page 20: TOR mmm Dmnwmwt - UNT Digital Library

g

mile radius* A H the signs of booming growth are apparentt

rapid building, crowded public schools, intense ccnaierclal

and industrial activity. There are only .four counties in the

state with a population density of more than 400 per square

mile and the college is practically on the line dividing two

of them. Population in the City of Arlington continues to

increase explosively and without pause. From the standpoint

of numbers, the future of Arlington State College seems very

bright indeed*

For all its brevity, the history of Arlington State Col-

lege shows a steady development and a distinctive philosophy.

Its future program will be determined by the students it

serves. One thing is certain: alterations will have to be

made, both to keep pace with and to anticipate the changes

in tb$ nature of the surrounding community.

CHAPTER III

PROBLEMS AND GEIERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE

PHYSICAL EDUCATION DEPARTMENT

Although Arlington State College is in m excellent

geographical location and toss consistently attracted students

of high caliber, it has not always enrolled large numbers

fro® the neighboring cities of Dallas and Fort Worth. For the

first two years, most of the students case from an area near

Arlington. For the twelve years after that,. 1919 to 1931,

about half of the student body came fro® toms more than

twenty-five miles from the college.

Daring the period from 1932 until 1935, an average of

76 percent of the students lived within a radius of twenty-

five miles of the city of Arlington. This percentage figure

reached its peak during the two sessions of 1936-193? and

1940-1941,. during which years 89 percent entered the school

from Dallas and Tarrant Counties* Curiously enough, the

last peak year was followed by a rapid decline, and during

the academic, year of 1943-1944 only §0 percent ease from the

two counties. The percentage increased again rapidly after

that,, howeverr and for the year 1952-1953 it stood at 89 per-

cent as show in Figure 2.

These figures indicate that Arlington Stat® College my

fairly fee considered, in large measure, a day school for those

living .in a twenty-five nil* radius of the college, even though

the precentage figures may fluctuate somawhat from year to year.

There is no question hut that the majority of the day students

come from the tm cities of Dallas and Fort Worth. The saving

to the student on. room arid board which he receives from living

at home, and the low tuition fees for a state-supported college

provide M a with an education at a very reasonable cost*

la the earliest days ©f the college* little' or no atten-

tion was paid to a physical education or athletic program.

Intradural contests of various sorts were held, including bas-

ketball, but most of the participating students lived on the

caapus or in Arlington. Intercollegiate athletics were engaged

in on a very irregular and informal basis, usually by the smm

group of resident students# There mm not many problem! con-

nected with the commuting students.

In recent years a ntaaber of such problems has arisen*

Obviously* the intramural and intercollegiate teams could not

be recruited entirely or even largely from the Arlington and

resident students. One very difficult problem exists in con-

nection with the intramural program. Many of the day students

spend little time on the campus when not actually In class

and are unwilling to return to the caapus in the late after*

noon or evening to participate in an intramural contest. Lack

of dressing room facilities discourages the student from spend-

ing the hours between classes in practice or informal contests.

Page 24: TOR mmm Dmnwmwt - UNT Digital Library

While the 1. 0# t * C. Company makes a convenient unit of com-

petition, a. 0. C. activities themselves consume a tog®

portion of the student * s extra tins*

lay attempt to schedule intramural contests at night has

been unsuccessful because the students living in sections of

Dallas and Fort Worth were unwilling to wait on the campus,

and it ms impractical for then to go home and return in the

evening for the contest* For the MOM reasons night nestings

of intercollegiate athletic teams are practically impossible,

and many tines in practice key mm have had to leave early in

order to have transportation home. Because of th®' location

of the college and its student body, the problems mentioned

above have consistently plagued the Department of Athletics

and Physical Education# So single solution has ever been

devisedt nevertheless, the program of intercollegiate athletics

has in recent years increased in atse and effectiveness, and

the program of intramural athletics continues to present,

expanding or contracting from year to year, activities allied

to the interests sM abilities of the students.

there is a© question but that the substitution of

a . 0, J* C» participation for physical education has in*

hibited the growth and effectiveness of th® related programs

of intramural and intercollegiate athletics. There are many

indications that future changes in the philosophy of the insti-

tution, which are already being presaged by certain changes in

the rules for students, will make possible extensive improve-

ments in the whole situation.

History of Intercollegiate Athletics

The colleges that preceded Grubbs Vocational College

ua&er the names of Carlisle Military Academy and Arlington

Vocational Training School did sponsor athletic? teams which

engaged in contests with various to am# in the area on a vary

irregular and infoiraal basis.

80on after its founding, Grubbs Vocational College

became a member of the Texas Junior College Athletic Associa-

tion* In 1933# North Texas Agricultural College withdraw

from the above organization to become a member of the Central

Texas Junior College Association* The new conference was

formed in order to decrease the tea® traveling ©sEpeiises and

to give the championship more geographical meaning* forth

Texas Agricultural College continued as a member of this con-

ference until the fall of 194«, at which time it became a mem-

ber of the Southwestern Junior College Conference, which was

composed of John Tarleton Agricultural College, Kilgore Junior

College, Paris Junior College, San Angelo Junior Colleget

Schreinar Institute, Lamar College, forth Texas Agricultural

College, and Hardin Junior College, which was replaced one year

later by Tyler Junior College.

By the autumn of 1950, many changes had taken place in

the auaber apfl character of the junior colleges in Texas# In

order to accomodate itself to the new situation, Arlington

State College, along with Tarleton State College, Schreiner

Institute, and San Angelo Junior College, withdrew from the

Page 26: TOR mmm Dmnwmwt - UNT Digital Library

23

Southwestern. Conference and formed the Pioneer Athletic Con*

ference. Banger Junior College was added making the present

five-tea® conference.

Football, basketball, track, and tennis have been spon-

sored sine© the first year of the college*# organisation.

Baseball was played during the years 191? to 1930, but was

discontinued at that time and 1ms not been resumed. Golf was

added to tli® schedule in 1989 and has • been present ever since*

A boxing team competed in the two year# 1933 to 1935* Swim-

ming and wrestling teams were sponsored for a single year each,

in 1931 and 1934, respectively.

The relative success of the various teams has fluctuated

widely over the years, as had the interest on the part of the

students. For the aost part, the spectators have been inter-

ested in the football team, except for isolated periods in

which one of the other teams enjoyed particularly good years.

The low point of interest in all sports occurred during the

years from 1937 until 1937, even though lights were installed

at the football field in 1935. In recent years each season

has brought a small but steady increase in gate receipts in

football, mtil quite recently the expenses of the depart-

ment of physical education were about three times the amount

of the gate receipts at athletic contests. Local and state

funds made up the difference.

There were no athletic scholarships given at Arlington

State College until 1951. In the early nineteen-thlrties

Page 27: TOR mmm Dmnwmwt - UNT Digital Library

19

the Rational Youth Administration provided some job® oa

the campus, but these were open to all students, Including

athletes# Slue® 1961 the President of the Collage and a local

organization have been active la providing aid to the athletes

in the torm of jobs for scholarships.

fhe high point In the fortune# of the football team

occurred during the academic year of 1942-1943, when ths ¥-12

Program of the lavy sent a number of the nation*a leading

athlete® to the campus. this was followed fey the bleakest

period of all, with the low point in 1949, when not a single

game m $ won. Since that nadir the quality of teams has

greatly improved* Arlington State College won the Champion-

ship of the Pioneer Conference in the two academic years of

19§3 and 1@§4*

Generally speaking, the athletic tea»s have been com-

posed of boys who took part for the enjoyaent they could

receive from suoh participation, tint 11 quite recently, there

has been an absence of pressure on the coaches t© win, and

the intercollegiate athletle program has been thought ©f

as another department of the college for the development of

the student.

History of the Boys1 Physical Education

Several factors have Influenced the course of development

which the program of physical education 1ms taken? one of these

however, far outranks all the others In importance. It is the

Page 28: TOR mmm Dmnwmwt - UNT Digital Library

30

fact that H* 0. f, C# twining has been allowed to satisfy

the requirement for physical education. Such an interpret

tation of the requirements has placed the emphasis on mili-

tary activity rather than m physical education. l*rge *

numbers of the student population were not touched in any

way by the physical education program. Daring the first

eight years of' the school's existence# no trained personnel

supervised the program, activities being carried on by the

members of the teaching staff. Uhtil the gymnasium was

built in 1933* a© facilities that even approached adequacy

were available to the student for dressing or play.

The fact that a large number of the students were on the

campus only during the day worked to augment the difficulties

created by the military philosophy. Military training occu-

pied those hours during the week that would normally be spent

in physical education classes, and it was very difficult for

the student to find additional campus hours during which he

Bight take an extra course in physical education. This situa-

tion led t® an official difficulty to g.® with the practical

ones. Beginning with 1919-1980 each student was required to

take si* hours per week of physical training including three

hours of military duty each week. This three hours of physi-

cal exercise and games in addition to the three hours of mili-

tary drill was quoted in the catalogue as a requirement each

year until 1933-34. So systematic effort was made to carry

Page 29: TOR mmm Dmnwmwt - UNT Digital Library

21

it out, however, and in 1935 the preten.se was dropped

altogether. Since the very beginning, the actual »quir@d

physical education for men has consistea of three hoar® per

week of military drill,

those students who do not take military training m m •

required to take physical education in the for® of courses

aetting two hours a week and carrying one hour of credit.

The first of these is described in the catalogue as being

devoted to "two hours per week of minor sports activity and

it

.8

1 rules interpretation." The course for the second year is

"two hours per week of activity and health instruction. *'

In addition to the above required courses, the depart-

ment offers two professional courses, one in the materials

m i methods of physical education and the otter in materials

and methods of health education. These courses are open to

both boys and girls and are' designed to satisfy the state

requirements for elementary school teachers.

Table 1, on the following pages, shows the personnel

of the m&'s physical education department. These men

served as instructors in physical education, intramural

athletics, and the sports shown. The games of football,

basketball, baseball, track, and tennis have been offered

to students under the supervision of the.se instructors.

There has been a total of ten different head coaches

in football during the period from 191? to 1953* The

coaches in basketball, track, and tennis were usually the

football coach or an assistant in football. This would

indicate that more emphasis has been placed ©n football

since the very beginning of the institution.

History of Girls* Physical Education

During the first year of the college*s operation, no

physical education of any kind was required of women* In

the two years that followed * 1918-1919, six hours a week

of supervised physical training were added as a require-

ment. This training was carried on in a very unsystematic

manner and was conducted by various members of the faculty.

Ho trained personnel were employed for the purpose of set-

ting up the program. Classes did not meet regularly and

the roll was seldom called.

fable B, on the following pages, shows the members

of the wxnen's physical education staff and their position

in the department of physical education. These women

usually teach the professional courses in the department.

Six different women have sewed la the department ever

a period of thirty~*ix years. For the first three years, bo

particular person was assigned the duty of supervising the

program* Then in 19£0*81 a separate department of physical

education and expression was established.

the courses In required physical education are described

as follows s

Exercisefbr poise, presence, and hearing, for grace and ease of manner.. Physical training in It® relation to health and beautyj psychophysical culture \ harmonic movements j marching;. measurements j chest development. breathing exercises, personal hygiene j exercises for the vital organs j games, simple folk dances; educations gymnastic** including free standing and apparatus move*

Mo substantial change was made in either the requirement

or the description of the course for the next eight years.

Boring this time *. the students were required to spend two

hours at practice and one at theory instruction each week,

la the years from 1989 to 1934, the girl® were allowed

to elect to practice in either hiking, basketball, volley

ball, indoor baseball, calesthenicst folk dancing, tennis,

or archery# Theory consisted of hygiene study. Although

minor changes have been made since in the sports that the

student might choose, the plan for conducting the course is

substantially the same. The catalogue for 1953-54 reads as

followsi

Both, freshmen and sophomore girls are allowed to elect their practice work from the activities offered

%rabbs Vocational College, Foua^h Mnua^ g§lBteS»# 1988*1983, p. 68*

Page 38: TOR mmm Dmnwmwt - UNT Digital Library

during the several seasons, It is recommended that at least one semester of dancing be taken, lot more than two semesters of the same sport may be selected. The activities include; tennis, tap dancing, folk dancing* basketball, volley ball, Softball, fencing, archery, table tennis# badminton, and marksmanship.

At various times in the late thirties attempts were made

to inaugurate professional courses in physical education other

than those described above. Difficulty was encountered by the

students in transferring courses, however, since the senior

colleges regarded them as third-year courses and were reluc-

tant to accept thea from a Junior college. In general, the

physical education program for women at the college has remained

limited because of the small number of women students.

History of Intramural Athletics

In the early days of the college there was considerable

overlapping between the intramural and required programs.

Some early attempts were made to use the military company as

the unit of competition for athletics to satisfy the physical

training requirement of the three hours per week of physical

exercise in addition to military drill.

The required physical education was disassociated from

intramurals in 19£S» Since that time competition has been

held in track, tennis, Softball* basketball, golf, football,

and touch football.

^Arlington State College, Thirty-fifth Annual Catalogue. 1953-54, p. 147.

Page 39: TOR mmm Dmnwmwt - UNT Digital Library

SI

In 1934-35 a scoring systaa was installed and the

entire program was revises, the sport calendar was enlarged

to include Softball, tennis, golf# horseshoes, cross country,

free throw,, basketball, volley tellt boxingt wrestling, and

track* At the close of the winter season, Ka fight ftight* was

held, concluding the sports of basketball, volley ball,

boxing and wrestling* At that time the military company was

the unit of competition* This stimulus gradually waned be-

cause of interest on the part of the students,

2n 1950, the unit of competition was changed to doiwitory

ramps and floors, and campus organizations in an effort to

stimulate interest*. A survey of the activities for the sepa-

rate years reveals that the intramural program has had to be

limited or expanded to meet the interests of the students.

Some student bodies have been more "sports-minded" than others,

the reluctance of the day students to return to or remain on

the campus for an intradural contest has been a constantly

inhibiting factor,*

CHAPTER 17

M EVALUATION OF THE PHYSICAL EDUCATION

M M M M OF ARUNSTOH STATE COLLEGE

W* L. Hughes in M s IgllUlSlmllia %l M 1 B MB.

i i m M » i M ia» up a selected Mat of 164

standards and policies which should be considered basic 1

to a college physical education program.

From a vide reading of the literature of the field

approicim&tely 85G standards mm selected. These statements

were written on 4 x 6 inch cards and arranged under on®

of four ssa or headings: administrative plan, required physi-

cal education, intramural athletics, and intercollegiate

athletics.

The standards were further arranged under sufc head*

in§s. A yisit was paid to each of twelve colleges and ml-

versities in the eastern and mid-western sections of the

United States* Interviews were held with approximately

ninety individuals each of whom was connected with some

administrative phase of the college health and physical edu-

cation parogimas* The standards were revised .in the light

of existing practices in the twelve selected institutions.

Four groups of specialist# were chosen, one for each

division of objectives. A group consisted of from one to S — —

I• Hughes, Administration o£ fiealth and M M t m teu ppTa-is.

Page 41: TOR mmm Dmnwmwt - UNT Digital Library

m

fifteen men. Each group rated only those objectives in its

own division. The Judges war© asked to rate the policies

according to the following scale: 5—essential; 4—highly

desirable; 3—desirable; 2—some value; 1—no value. The

data were tabulated in simple for® and the total actual value

for each statement was turned into a percent value. The per-

cent was obtained by dividing the actual score by the highest

possible score# The highest possible score was determined

in each case by Multiplying by five the number of jurors

reporting OBI the statement, the actual score was determined

by simple addition of the various ratings given by the Judge.

Of the original list of standards, 35.63 percent or

164 received a rating of between 90 and 100 and were con-

sidered essential, fine basis and authority for this study

will be this list of essential standards as compiled by

Hughes except that all sections of the physical education

program were not included. The standards* as developed by

Hughes, were set up for the administrative plan, health super-

vision, health, health instruction* required physical educa-

tion, intisaur&l athletics, and intercollegiate athletics.

The present study is limited to an evaluation of the adminis-

trative plan, required physical education, intramural ath-

letics, and intercollegiate athletics. Mot all the standards

set up by Hughes, therefore, were utilised.

Three phases of the physical education program of Arling-

ton State College were evaluated against the selected standards

Page 42: TOR mmm Dmnwmwt - UNT Digital Library

m

to determine the extent to which each standard Is mt t

CD the entire physical education program, <8) the physical

education department» sad (3) the R. 0, T. C. department.

the following rating scale was used in making the evaluations;

3»-ftoe standard Is satisfied entirely.

2«-?fce standard is met in a fairly satisfactory maimer.

1—fh@ standard is satisfied in only a Halted way.

0—Wo attention is given to the satisfaction of the standard.

The plan of rating the R« 0. T. C» department toy using

standards which are criteria for college progress in health

and physical education is done with full knowledge that

authorities in the field of health and physical education

feel that an R» 0* T. C. program is in no way an adequate

substitute for any part of a good progran of health and physi-

cal education. However, since the R. 0. T« C. progran in the

situation is being studied and is being advocated at a substi-

tute for parts of aa adequate health and physical education

program, it becomes important to see to what extent such a

substitution is justified.

Jhe evaluation of the selected phases of the physical

education program of Arlington State College is presented in

both discussion and table form. It should be explained that

the numbers of the standards as presented are not in numerical

order but follow the number of the standards as set up by Hughes*

Page 43: TOR mmm Dmnwmwt - UNT Digital Library

I. Administrative Plan

Only one item la administration KM selected as essential

toy the furors in the Hughes study as a standard to be used

for evaluation* This it«m is as follows:

1. the administration ©f health and physical educa-tion (including athletics) is the responsibility of the institution and should he under its complete control.*'

She physical education program of Arlington Stat© College

has a. rating of 2 on its administration. The physical educa-

tion department, however, ha# a rating of 1, which Indicate#

the standard Is met In only a Halted way. The B» 0. T. C.

department has a rating of 0 In administration.

II. Required Physical Education

Organisation SB& ?W.--Bleven "«•* » » lnalsdea In the

standards set up for the organization and staff of a required

college education program, These itens and the ratings given

the three phases of the present study at Arlington State Col-

lege are shown In fable 3.

As shorn In Table 3, the physical education program and

the physical education department of Arlington State College

have a fating of 3 In five instances: standards, 2, 3, 10, 13,

and 14. In four instances, Standards 1, 4, 6, and 18, the physi-

cal education program and the physical education department

have a rating of 2 which means fairly satisfactory. Both of

these phases have a rating of 0 on Standard 5. The 1* 0. T. C.

Department has a rating of 0 on all of the selected standards.

—Only om Item wis Included

In the standards for classification of physical education stu-

dents :

15* Every student entering the institution should he required to take a health examination, and should he classified according to his physical fitness for physi-cal activities into at least two groupsi those students who are without'significant physical handicaps# and those who should fee restricted because of limitations revealed by the examination.

No examination or classification is Bade by the physical educa-

tion department of the college, but the fL 0* T. C* department

requires a complete examination* The ratings received by the

physical education program and the physical education depart-

ment are, therefore, 0, and the one for the 1. Q. t* C. depart-

ment is 3, or very satisfactory.

_ Requirements- —Two items are included in the standards

for requirements* The first of these is Standard 88 and

reads as follows t

23. Physical education activities should teg carried on

out-of-doors whenever the weather permits.

Ratings received on this standard by the physical education

program and the physical education department of the school

are 1* which indicates that the standard is met only in a

limited way. The girls1 physical education at the school meets

the standard, but boys' physical education is not required for

boys taking R.O.T.C.- The R.Q.T.C. department has a rating of 0»

The second item included in the requirements for a physi-

cal education program is Standard 31 and reads as follows: sibid.. x>. 68^ '^ibiirr p.ia. ~

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, AID RE&GMMEND&TXONS

FOR FUTURE DEVBLOB5EST

Summary

The investigator undertook an evaluation of the physical

education program of Arlington State College by eismmining the

history and development of the college sine© Its establish-

ment as & state college in 1917• Special attention was paid

to those aspects of philosophy and practice which affected

the nature of the problem*

In undertaking this study,, the investigator had the

following purposes in mind t (1) to select evaluative

criteria by which the physical education program might be

effectively evaluated; (2) to evaluate the organization and

administration of the physical education programs (3) to

evaluate the activity, intramural and Intercollegiate pro-

grams; (4) to mate those recommendations for the future of

the physical education program as a whole which would imple-

ment its greater development*

The study was limited to the evaluation of the physical

education program of Arlington State College with recommenda-

tions for its future development. Sources employed in

gathering the data were both huaaan and documentary*

Page 86: TOR mmm Dmnwmwt - UNT Digital Library

70

The following terms were used in this Investigation:

(!) Physical education is that part ©f education which pro-

ceeds by means of, or predominantly through, physical educa-

tion; (8) pfiys^l. n m M m W M W m to activity pro-

grams, professional courses In physical education, intramural

The plan of the study generally was t© proceed fro® a

review of the general history of Arlington State College to

a history of each phase of the physical education program,

and thence to an evaluation of the program. Such an evalua-

tion provided the liases for conclusions and recommendations X

for the future development.

M the initial chapter the purposes of the study, limi-

tations which restricted the investigator, sources of data,

procedure, organisation, and other basic considerations were

established#

Chapter II consists of a brief history of the general

development and growth of Arlington State College since its

founding.

Chapter III is a review of the general development of

the physical education department* Effects of the changes

in enrollment upon the progrsn were given special consider-

ation, as were the histories of the professional courses in

physical education, boys' physical education* girls* physi-

cal education, intramural athletics, and intercollegiate

Page 87: TOR mmm Dmnwmwt - UNT Digital Library

79

athletics. Problems special to this particular program and

the esqplanation for their existence were discussed in each

division.

Chapter IT contains an evaluation of the entire prograa

©f physical education including the administrative plan,

required physical education, intradural athletics* and inter-

collegiate athletics.

Conclusions

From an analysis of the data of this study, the follow*

ing conclusions have been reached:

1. The entire program of physical education of Arlington

State College meets the essential standards of a college or

university physical education program to the extent of 54*0

percent#

B. the program of physical education is a@st nearly

satisfactory as to the essential standards in the divisions

of intercollegiate athletics (98,5 percent) and intramural

athletics (SO.O percent).

3. The pro grans of physical education is most deficient

in the division of required physical education (31.8 percent).

4. the department of physical education meets the essen-

tial standards of a physical education program to the extent

of 53.9 percent.

9* The department of physical education is most nearly

satisfactory as to the essential standards in the divisions

Page 88: TOR mmm Dmnwmwt - UNT Digital Library

80

of intercollegiate athletics (96.7 percent) end intramural

athletics <60.0 percent}•

g# The department of physical education is most deficient

te the division of required physical education (29.9 percent).

7, The eietent to which the R.O.T.C. department meets the

essential standards of a college physical education program

1@ negligible (0*06 percent).

Recommendations for Future Development

the findings of this study indicate certain needs for

revision of the present program of physical education at

Arlington State College, Some of these are general in nature

and arise from the philosophy and policy of the institution;

others are specific in nature and have to do with aspects of

a purely practical nature. The history of the college indi-

cates that there has always been a youthful spirit present

in the administrative outlook. Flans for the future have

always been a part of the administrative thought and the col-

lege has never ceased to develop in many areas from year to

year# At the present time the philosophy of the college is

in a definite period of transition, and the change in thinking

will inevitably have many implications for the physical educa-

tion program, these recommendations, arrived at as a result

of this study, are a part of the whole picture of change.

1. It is most obvious that the R.O.T.C. program does not

aeet the needs of the students for physical education activities.

Page 89: TOR mmm Dmnwmwt - UNT Digital Library

SI

Whatever benefits the student realizes •from the H»O.T.C» pro-

gram, and they are many, adequate physical education is not
