PROFESSIONAL PREPARATION IN HEALTH PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND RECREATION

Author: H. A. Scott, R. A. Snyder

The fields of health education, physical education, and recreation have experienced tremendous growth in the last quarter of a century. Organized programs in these areas reach almost every school, college, and community in the United States. Their educational and welfare potential is universally recognized by educators and laymen. This potential is not completely achieved, however, because of the wide gap that separates theory from practice. The principal means of lessening this gap is through the proper education of teachers and leaders for enlightened service in these fields.
