"What the Schools Teach and Might Teach"


The things recommended for the elementary schools need to be carried
out in the high schools also.


PHYSICAL TRAINING

The city gives slightly more than the usual amount of time to physical
training in the elementary schools. Except for first and second
grades, where a slightly larger amount is set aside for the purpose,
pupils are expected to receive one hour per week.
TABLE 13.--TIME GIVEN TO PHYSICAL TRAINING
======+=======================+========================

| Cleveland | 50 cities | Cleveland | 50 cities
------+-----------+-----------+-----------+------------
1 | 63 | 46 | 8.7 | 5.4

Even though it is a little above the average amount of time, it is
nevertheless too little.
