Ep1roR PsEss, DEL4R SIR: I seeby
last week's Democrat that the people
of your city have been sadly imposed
upon forzthe past two years by the
tllfck hssded School Board Sqperin-'
tendents and teachers in the use of
Appleton's Readers.~ It must be ex-
ceedingly gratifying to the patrons of
the sohools that, through the efforts of
the sfea4 Cincinnati book monopoly.
and your Honorable and upright book
sellers, the Board have been led to see
the error of their ways, and throw out
the Objectionable readers. AS we coun-
try people understand the matter, ,your
Superintendents and. teachers have
been highly gratified with their sue
cess in the'use of Appleton g Readers.
The people Of Ohio have not yet for
gotten the millions of money paid, to
this same book monopoly for mere
trash" paper rags ''-in the shape of
readers, swelling their bank account,
until their agents boast that they are
able to control all the Boards of Edu.
cation in the State. That, the new
cGuffey ,is "a better reader than its
ancjeptl pSedecesser, is due to the fact
that they have largely copied the gem
eral RrhpsepAe1t oana get-pp of the
Appleton, and had they gone still fur
ther and eppled ffqni some other good
readers, leaving out all the old MeGuf-
fe y hattef, the 8 would have been still
better, The thousands of eminent ed
ucators throtfghodtthe land who have
carefully IauJ critically examined and
approved the Appleton Readers, will
doubtless he iastbnishAdsA At tle wisdom
GOf this critic ofthe Democrat. When we
understand the true source of the article,
the-entire, absences of truth in its COM
poSition isaasi2y accounted,for. If the
people of Portage. County are to be
com PEELED to use this new McGuffey,
with itsfirst tthreelnumbers, and up to
and Z, as of old, we can still feel CRATE
full to those publishers, whose efforts
have compelled the great monopoly to
make some improvements, and We
shall have tp be satisfied with the new

HINTS TO SWIMMERS.

Prof. Marquis Bibbers, Of the London
Polytechnic Institute, gave an exhibition
of fancy and useful swimming, in the
Central Park Baths, one day last week,
kind that has lately been seen in New
York. His programme was long and
varied, beginning with practical illustra-
tions of chow to act in case of ship
wreck" and going down through "nse-
full swimming easy way of tnrning in
the water, "a learner difficulties with
out teacher ornamental swimming"
swimming with the hands and feet
hound" and number of "Submarine
feats." The swimmer first went into the
water with a linen suit over 4 set of tights
and showed the spectators how to untlress
on the surface of the water in ease of
accident. The secret of this, he soon
demonstrated, is in Keeping the left leg
and right arm in motion while taking off
the right shoe with the left hand, and
vice versa. the remainder of the clothing
being comparatively easy to remove. He
showed that it was easy enough to rest
when fatigued by a long swim, the mo
ton of either hands or feet alone being
sufficient to keep the body aiioat. So
the arms may rest while the legs keep at
work, and the legs rest while the arms
work. Ia case of cramp in the legs,
grasp the cramped leg with the diagon-
ally opposite hand and paddle away with
the remaining fins.
The ornamental part of the exhibition
was very pretty, but Of no practical use.
Prof. Bibbers then allowed his attendant
to strap his hands behind him and strap
his feet together, and plunge into the
water. Instead of going to the bottom,
rs might have been expected, he struck
out boldly on his back, using his bound
feet to make the stroke, and made very
good time. He next ate piece Of cake,
drank bottle of milk, and smoked part

of a cigar under water-the last being
merely a trick, the lighted end of the
cigar being dexterously put in his mouth
just as he disappeared beneath the water.
"How to save person from drowning"
and chow to break away from the grip
of a drowning person." were two of the
most useful parts of the exhibition
Using his attendant for drowning per-
son, he showed that single hair of the
head was sufficient to draw the floating
body ashore with, if the person retained
sufficient presence of mind to keep quiet
If the person struggles, as is usually the
case, he should be approached from be-
hind, his head held on the rescuer's
breast and both go ashore on their backs.
The drowning person frequently grasps
his rescuer, and endangers both their
lives. In this case if his head can be
moments it will confuse him, and break
ing away will be comparatively easy
Should he grasp the rescuer by the wrists,
quick wrench of the arms will break
his hold. Should he grasp him from be-
hind, his hold must be broken by wrench
ing back his fingers. as in ordinary cases.
When the drowning person gets his arms
firmly clasped around his rescuer's neck
or around his waist, or gets any other
dangerous hold, the rcscuer may instant
ly free himself by putting two of his fin
gers to the drowning PERSONS nostrils,
and thus forcing his head back. This
will make man loosen any hold, in the
water or out of it. Even drowning
man cannot keep his grip when this plan
is resorted to.
