bequested that free public schools be established. This
to no avail. "In 1724, the ministers of twenty-nine

Some of the boundary colonies accomplished a I
little more than did Virginia; although they began much
later. "In South Carolina, in 1710 and 1712, and in j
North Carolina, in 1745 and 1746, the governments aided iI

the South Carolina schools, under Anglican control, practical
mathematics, bookkeeping, navigation, and surveying
were taught in addition to the classics. . ." (22:391)
In the South, interest toward physical education
had been held high, but distance between neighbors was an
unfortunate hindrance. "In the South, the planters did
not live in a close proximity to one another as did the
New England farmers, so group activities could not be
organized as easily. The house parties of Virginia became
a very popular means of bringing the scattered planters
together for a few days of merrymaking, dancing, sports,
and games." (28:l6l) These Southern colonists had made
the most of getting together for participation in activities,
and they did accept physical education in their lives.
