How to Learn to Swim.

Every boy and girl should learn to
swim. A writer in the An,erican Aqri-
culturist offers the following sugges-
tons, by obedience to which the art of
swimming may be readily acquired:
When was a boy, | learned to swim
by means Of swimming board. This is
the safest method possible. If corks
are used, they may slip from around the
breast down beneath the body, throwing
the head below the surface, and putting
the Wearer in danger of drowning.
Some country boys get two bladders
and then tie them together with short
cord, and use these as supports. They
are the most dangerous things possible
faE Q boy to have
The board is perfectly safe, and one
may learn to swim in a very short time
by using one. 1t should be over four
feet long, over foot wide and two in
ches thick, made of soft white pine or
cedar
To use it, boy wades into the water
up to his shoulders, then, taking hold of
the end of the board, he pushes it be-
fore him towards the shore, and not in
to deeper water springs forward with
his feet, and thows himself fiat upon the
water.
This movement carries him along a
few feet. He then draws up both his
legs at the same time, keeping the knees
as far apart as possible, and then strikes
out with both feet, not straight back
ward, but sideways, just as frog does
The stroke is made slowly, and is re-
peated again, drawing up the legs slowly
and steadily. The board keeps the head
above water. When the leg stroke has
been learned, one hand is taken from
the board and the stroke learned, or the
chin may be rested on the board, while
the stroke is made with both hands.
This is very good plan, as it compels
the swimmer to keep his handa under
the water, which he should always do.
By-and-by the board may be pushed
ahead, and the young swimmer may
swim after it, always keeping it within
reach. When number Of boys go to
swim, they should always have two or
three of these boards with them for use
IN case at accident.
