Learn to Swim

From the New York Press.
Lots of things are taught in school which
are of far less value in sea-girt COM
munity like New York, where SO much
water travel for business and pleasure is
necessary. than swimming. For while
music and drawing and 'fads' other than
"readin ritin and 'rithmetic'' add large.
ly to the enjoyment of life, the simple art
of knowing how to avoid drowning has to
do with the preservation of that life. Why
shouldn't the public school pupil learn, be-
fore the gentle accomplishments. the ele-
mentary and essential one of how to pro-
tect his life from an ever-present menace
to 1t? A mother a father is panic
stricken at the thought of exposing child
to an attack of measles some other in
lection. but will thoughtlessly permit 1t sto
ride every day on a ferryboat or some other
craft where the danger of drowning Is
real peril without arming the offspring
with the means of self-preservation which
nature has provided Children have to be
taught to walk. Why not teach them to
swim?

The steamship companies may yet resort
to the methods of the old-time rival stage
lines. and not only convey passengers free

European trip which we have hitherto been
prevented from taking for lack Of time.
