the large amount of interest that is

and it is gratifying to know that
hundreds are taking advantage of the
rare opportunity offered by the local

But why not the girls and the wo-
men? They tere as much Interested
in swimming and learning how to
swim as the men and boys. 1t is
just as necessary for women and girls
to know how to swim as men and
