Excerpt from Education in France in 1916-1918 In the course of a recent manifestation in favor of physical education, organized at Bordeaux, M. Henry Pate, deputy, delivered a very interesting address, in which he stated that he and some of his colleagues in the house of deputies had decided to participate actively in the physical education and athletics of the young, in accordance with the following program: (1) To adopt a general method of rational physical instruction, based on a knowledge of the physical needs of the subject, the specialization of the work, and the attraction of the exercise. (2) To create regional schools and a superior school destined to create and to maintain a unity of methods. (3) To open these schools to the physical instructors of the army, to the monitors of the prepara tion for military service, and to the instructors of both sexes. (4) To direct the young toward outdoor exercises, giving them freely. (6) To obtain (a) the simplification of school programs, which are frightfully overloaded and tend to destroy energy; (b) the introduction of a physical test in all examina tions; (0) the institution of outdoor schools and open-air or outdoor colonies for the physically abnormal children; and (d) the complete reorganization of school medical inspection. (7) To assure the employment of special professors of gymnastics. (8) To demand legislation providing for obligatory post-gradu ate instruction and the introduction of the eight-hour day (la semaine an glaise), so as not to injure the vocational work of the adults, or their apprentice ship, or reduce the wages to which they may aspire. (9) To give a larger place in the training for military service to physical education and athletics, as a base'for the future reorganization of the army, and of the recruiting laws.
