The course was designed to train new masters for the instruction of Physical Training in senior schools.
Also of interest is the correspondence between Rev Beck and W Turner Long [Secretary to the local Education Department]. This resulted in the appointment of Harry Starmer Smith as Organiser of Physical Training for schools and colleges in the area of Cheltenham and Gloucester
