Administration in Physical Education

There are very few principles of physical education administration that have been less adequately applied than have those that deal with the planning and construction of buildings to house the program. The large number of inadequate physical education buildings, even an university campuses, is material evidence of this fact. Several factors have contributed to this condition. One of the most significant has been the practice of copying a building in a neighbouring city or state, mistakes and good points alike. The newer program demands more and different activity rooms, which tends to make the older type of plant obsolete. In some situations there has been an unwillingness on the part of those in authority to seek and utilize the advice of informed staff members, and in others physical education people have proved unable to advise judiciously when consulted.
