Abstract

In order to improve programmes for the physical education and recreation of working youth, a survey was made of 9930 apprentices. A special questionnaire was used. The statistical evaluation of the material obtained was carried out as regar ds the following data: age, sex, height, weight, social origin, profession, nutrition, sleep, occupation after work, smoking, sport, swimming and sejourn in free time. On the basis of these investigations the following conclusions and suggestions have been made:
1. The proportion between work and learning as prescribed by the law fully corresponds with the psychical and physical capacity of working youth.
2. Regular physical education as planned in training programmes should be introduced in all the schools for apprentices.
3. Time for rest and recreation of working youth should be secured by suitably arranged time-tables.
4. Social life and activity of working youth should be canalized by an organized effort to obtain the desired educational effect.
Some further investigations made in this connection have revealed differences in the development of working youth. of the youth in secondary schools, and of peasant youth.
