About this episode
"The Evolution of Sports & the Cultural Implications of Physical Education" was a wonderful history of movement and PE book written in 1946 by Ramy B. Deschner and published by the Fred Medart Manufacturing Company in St. Louis, MO. Medart was the primary American company that made PE and sports equipment, but they did more than just make equipment--they also supported the elevation of culture through the physical activities of classical PE and sports and outdoor recreation. In this segment, I read the introduction and history of running and vaulting sections. It's not "just PE" when you get into the history of classical physical education--it's about elevating culture and educating people.
