that should be acquired by every
person in their younger days, not
only for the pleasure, past time and
health which the exercise affords, but
also for the great advantage it would
bring in thousands of cases where
human life is at stake. More atten-
tion is being given to this subject
every year and the proportion Of peo-
pie who can swim is constantly being
increased and 1t is indeed gratifying
to know that the faculty of IA leading
and model educational institution like
Yale has decided the matter is of suf-
fiCient importance to demand its
official attention. If all teachers and
public instructors would use their
influence in the same manner to induce
the young particularly to learn to
swim it would be positive advantage
to the country by improving the
physical and thereby the moral con-
dition of the people, and would also
prove safeguard against distressing
accidents that happen annually on
account of SO many persons not know
ing how to take care of themselves in
