SUMMER SESSION COURSES IN MILITARY AND ATHLETIC TRAINING

The Dartmouth Summer ' Session of 1916 has recently announced the addition to its previous schedule of courses in military and athletic training for men teachers in secondary schools. These courses will be conducted by Mr. Harry L. Hillman, Instructor in Physical Training at Dartmouth College, coach of the Track Team, and trainer of the Football Team.

The course for Teachers of MilitaryTraining is intended for men who expect to direct military activities of school boys; it is not for individual military-training; those desiring this training should go to such camps as Plattsburg. No uniforms will be used, nor will there be any attempt to reproduce camp life. Instruction will be given in the teaching of the Manual of Arms, squad and battalion drill, sentry duty and camping, marchings, facings, and the elements of military tactics; opportunity will be given for indoor rifle practice. Part of the course will be devoted to definite training in directing the camping and marching activities of school boys. The cabins of the Dartmouth Outing Club will provide opportunities for overnight trips, on which military camps will be established; furthermore, opportunity will probably be presented for qualified students to direct groups of boys on such marches and camps. Much of the work will be of an individual nature. In general the aim of the course will be to instruct in the main features of military tactics, in order to familiarize those taking the course with the duties of instructors.

The course for Athletic Coaches will deal with the fundamental principles in coaching and conditioning athletes for all sports ; individual peculiarities ; rules of competition ; physical condition ; team work; sport strategy, equipment, etc. Application of these principles will be made to track work, football, baseball, and basketball, as the individual needs of the students in the course may require.

Certificates will be given to those who complete these courses; no credit, however, will be given toward a degree.
