Book excerpt: Physical education has made unusually rapid progress during the past 50 years. Emphasis has deviated from absolute academic objectives to those permitting a well-rounded educational program including the physical aspect. Physical education has been influenced by educational, spiritual, political, and social conditions. As a result of these influences, the necessity of developing the physical has assumed major proportions. There is now a greater demand for physical education than ever before in the history of our country. For the welfare of not only the individual, but also to the state and nation, it is essential that an extremely high degree of physical fitness be maintained.
