SWIMMING AS AN ADJUNCT
OF EDUCATION.

Good sense Is the basis of the order
issued by the Boston educational au-
thorities requiring that the sedate
little maids of the high schools shall
learn to swim
OF course, it is argued by the OBJ
jectOrs that swimming has no part in
the mental development of high
school girls, but the educational au-
thorities contend that proficiency and
practice in swimming will eradicate
weak backs and curved spines
Swimming is not only most en-
Joyable sport, but a knowledge Of the
art is extremely valuable. 1t is an
exercise which could be adopted here
and elsewhere with profit as part of the
system of discipline in the public
schools.
