Showing an increased concern for physical fitness and health, the General Assembly passed an act to provide for physical education and training for all pupils in the common, graded, state normal, and all other public schools of Kentucky. Approved March 22, 1920, the act provided that “the course shall occupy periods totaling not less than thirty minutes each school day which shall be devoted to instruction in health and safety, to physical exercises and to recess play under proper supervision.”
