Scope and Content Note
This series contains correspondence, field reports, and pamphlet distribution lists held by the office's director as part of his role to supervise and assist the office's field representatives as they promoted, developed, and assisted the Physical Fitness Program. While much of the material relates to routine office administration, several folders contain field reports or supplemental field reports from field representatives.
These reports provide: city or county; date; field representative's name; agency; persons interviewed and title (if any); number of children participating, divided by gender and sometimes age; number of persons involved in the program; reason for the field trip; and observations (in supplemental field reports) - number of playgrounds, number of supervisors, source(s) of financing, and number of teams and types of activities.
While most field reports are written on standardized forms, some are in narrative form.
