en TO PROMOTE WOMEN’S FENCING

The National Section of Women’s Athletics, a branch of the American Association for Health, Physical Education and Recreation, has recently organized a fencing committee, naming Frederica Bernhard chairman. Miss Bernhard is instructor of fencing for women at the University of California.

The purpose of the new committee is to further women’s fencing in schools and colleges. Inexperienced teachers will be assisted to improve their coaching technique; physical education departments will be advised about rule books and informed as to the aims and character of the A.F.L.A.
