Locke FOREWORD The Elementary School Physical Education Council thought it would be a significant project to revise the 1968 edition of Pronlising'Practices in Elementary SchoolPhysical Education, one of AAHPER's more popillar publications. In the course of the'project it became evident that the concept of promising practices" was too restrictine in focus for a reised book_ Many of the ideas emerging in associationpublications, from which this new publication would draw, were broad in scope and theoretical aswell as practical_ Thus .it was decided to start a new publication series which would periodically '1,echo" the thinking of the leaders of the time.

Therefore, I believe that this publication is anindicator of the state of.elementary school physical education in the early, 1970s. There are several conceOtions of what elementary school physical educationis,
