...gone by when this work can be conducted effectively by men who have not a thorough grasp of the principles underlying their instruction. Physical training in schools has passed from the amateur into the scientific and professional stage, and it is gratifying to note that the need for physical directors has been appreciated by the colleges. That Tufts realizes the importance of the new course it has established is shown by the fact that college credit will be given in the same degree as for other courses in education...
