dc.description.abstractThe study traces the historical development of physical education in English schools to 1945 and the historical development of each physical education activity employed in the schools of England. Various factors which contributed to the formation of the English program of physical education are also discussed, and an account presented of English education pertinent to the development of physical education. The political, economic, and social history of England, and in particular, parliamentary acts, were considered in their relationship to the education of the masses. Data were collected and evaluated in England during the academic years 1952-1953 and 1954-1955. This data included interviews in English elementary and secondary schools, universities, and gymnastic colleges, as well as that gathered from primary and secondary sources in libraries of government ministries, of the University of London, the British Museum, and of gymnastic training colleges.
