This paper looks at the present physical fitness level of blind persons, and presents recreational activities that promote a high level of physical fitness. Test results from students at schools for blind children and from visually impaired students in public schools show significant differences in lateral posture (Kein, 1975), biological functioning (Jan, 1978), and cardiovascular endurance (Stanford; Laughlin; George; 1975) between the blind students and their sighted peers. Other studies suggest methods for integration of visually impaired students into physical education classes with their sighted peers. Recreational activities for blind people should include activities that make moderate demands on the cardiovascular system.

A survey of itinerant teachers in Texas found that, despite the numerous shortcomings of the job, the respondents believed there were many advantages. The respondents further identified the much needed ability to adjust to change, to put things in perspective, to modify their expectations, and to exercise a healthy sense of humor. This article details these shortcomings and advantages, suggests strategies for overcoming obstacles, and discusses the implications of the findings for administrators of schools and personnel of teacher-training programs.
