That such a material exists can hardly
be doubted; but it may interest Mr..

Swimming Examinations for schoolboys.

One of the most sensible of school re-
gulations is that at Elton which specifies
that only those boys who know how to
swim shall engage in boating. At one time
the school authorities did not interfere at
all in overseeing the oarsmen, and acct
dents on the water were not at all un-
usual.
In 1910, however, when a boy was
drowned, the law was made that no boy
should be allowed to enter a boat who
had not passed an examination in SWIM
ming. One or two teachers were ap-
pointed river masters, bathing places
were specified, and watermen were en-
gagged, both TO teach swimming, and to
be at hand with punts, in order to pre-
tent accident.
Bathing is permitted as soon after the
Easter holidays as the weather will al
low, and twice a week the river masters
are present at Cuckoo weir 10 conduct
the swimming examination. Boating, +"
of the Badminton library, describes the
ceremony:
"a number Of the boys thought by the
watermen to be sufficiently proficient.
| appear, undressed, in a punt. About
thirty yards off a pole is stuck up in the
water. The master stands on a high
place called the ~acropolis, and as he calls
one name after another each pupil takes
a header and swims once or twice
round the pole. 1t is not sufficient
merely to take the header and accom-
plish the specified distance; he must
swim in approved form, so as 10 be capa-
BILE Of swimming IN his clothes"
Since these formalities have been es.
tablished only n boy has been drowned
at Elton, though many boats are swamped
under all sorts Of circumstances. Those
who have not passed belong 10 the elias.

Of the period. The papers that give enough reading matter
or with many people who have some other employment for
nels Of news. The sheets that give the news systematically
in the great cities"
considerably more than the calculations Of all othe,
Chicago daiies combined. 1t is hardly necessary
to say that such circulation could not be attained,
much less maintained, except by a paper of high
grade OF excellence, as well as one sold at a popu-
lar price. To win such recognition the cheap
paper must be as good a n'asbapey as the best Of
Of its higher-priced competitors. And this THE
DAILY News certainly is. 1t is a member of the
Press, and is the only paper in Chicago
which possesses a franchise which secures to it
both the day and night dispatches of the Associa-
lion. In the general field Of news gathering it re-
presents in the highestdegree the progressive enter
prise of American Journalism as a newspaper
IJL,i It challenges comparison with anyin the Land.
lLkl/klIn its editorial columns The DAILY News
MNHZN speaks from the standpoint ofthe indie
SWMzkpendent newspaper, and thereby escapes
NM=the temptation Of iimpairing honest and
%M@honorable influence by eondoning or
M& defending the questionable under the
NMSS pressure Of party allegiance. 1t is not
WWNSMSan organ, neither is it a neutral in
AVSWN questions Of principle. 1t has the cou--
NNNage OF its convictions. The organ OF
no party, sect or interest, it voices the united de-
mand Of all those better elements Of society in
behalf of purity, honesty and decency in all the
relations of life. By just so much as it thus CON-
mends itself to the regard Of the truly best peo-
Pile Of the community does it voluntarily re-
nounce any community of interest with all others.
So conspicuous a success must have its imi-
and The DAILY News has the endorsement
such imitation always bestows. However asitis the
only one cent paper in Chicago or the West which
amends Of the Associated Press-all other Chi
cago Associated Press papers cost 3 cents-all

and amply, and without unnecessary padding, are taking the
Forty years ago the chief duty Of an editor, in
view Of his limited facilities, was to gather all the
news he could and print it. Intelligence was
transmitted slowly; many occurrences Of interest
were never heard Of beyond their immediate
locality; ocean mails were long in transit, and the
overthrow OF an European dynasty was not known
here until long after the event. Suddenly there
came a change. The railroad and the telegraph
superseded old methods, and the newspaper was
literally flooded with news. The death of a petty
ward politician in San Francisco, the result Of a
Presidential election, the accession Of sovereign,
the outbreak of a war, and notice thata shanty had
been burdenin Texas, all were hurried over the wires
into the newspaper Offices, and there being ,.yll
no idea Of discrimination, all were printed. SNSNvV
Thus originated the blanket sheet" &&MWM
The publisher who could send out SSWM
the bigges blanket for a nickel was the8XB(
most enterprising; the biggest paper @k& %
was the best; it was a period ofbigness.@AMHN
But after a time the very excess of the ~W&5
evil brought the remedy, and there be- 3EZWMM
gan an era Of discrimination, during which NEXHW|
arose such journals as the Neap York SAn" HlH)
and THE CHICAGO DAILY News. That the public
appreciated the new departure is best evidenced in
the fact that the SIM reached a circulation Of $780,
900 a day, and The DAILY News $4,000. The
wonderful and constantly growing popularity ofthe
condensed, low-priced papers has SO far broughtthe
cumbrous and high-priced blanket-sheets to their
senses, that they have now somewhat reformed
both as to size and price, but they are still too far
removed from the true ideal Of American jour
nalism to meet the needs Of the great majority.
In the west The CHICAGO DAILY News has
been the first to appreciate and meet the situation,
and it now enjoys the results of its twelve years Of
pioneer work in a daily circulation averaging over
three times that Of any Of its contemporaries, and
