Request that they include In their
next estimates an appropriation of $780,

school building at the corner of Warder

Park View Citizens Association in a
letter addressed to the Board OF Edu-

Accompanying the communication is a
statement of q census taken of the
children of school age in Park View,
showing the total number to be 1,193.
The children of Park View last year
attended the school at Petworth.
Quarters will be provided during the
next session in two portable school
buildings. which, the association says,
will relieve the situation temporarily In
the lower grades.

mates for 1911 and again in 1912 asked
for an appropriation of s66,0OO for an
eight-room school building in Park

The failure of Congress to appro-

The growth of Park View from the

school building should be provided fol-
by the next Congress, there would by
the time of its completion be more thar

TO URGE TEACHING
OF SWIMMING IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Plumbing Inspector to Make
Recommendation in An
nual Report.

That swimming be made a part OF
the curriculum of the public schools
will be one of the recommendations of
A. r. McGonegal, Inspector of Plumb
ing, in his annual report soon to be
submitted to the Commissioners.
Mr.. McGonegal is of the opinion that
1t is as important that children be
taught to swin as that they @ pc sigeh tSs
when the pupils reach definite grade
they be compelled to learn the art of
selt-preservation in the water The
Of instructors, which 1t is estimated
sideration, Mr.. MGGonesal declares.
when the benefits of the course are
taken into consideration.
Dry Land Swimming.
Instruction In swimming in the public
schools Is not an innovation. In the
cities of Europe, dry land swimming is
taught until the instructor feels that
his pupil is competent to enter the
water, and the course Is completed in
one Of the swimming baths of the muni-
cipality.
in this connection, Mr. McGonegal
again will urge that provision be made
for the establishment of public baths In
the District.
"It is regrettable that tn eCapital
City Of the country, which should be
foremost In all things pertaining to the
advancement of health and good citizen
ship, should be almost the only city OF
any size in the country which is not
able to give a free municipal bath to
its citizens" said the Inspector
Free baths or public or semi-pubilc
baths are furnished all the year around
in Chicago, Boston, Baltimore. Brook
lyn, New York. Syracuse, Cleveland,
San Francisco, and twenty seven otsier
cities of lesser size. In some cities the
bath houses were given by philanthrop-
lists and the cities have in every in
stance followed this up by municipal
appropriation for the extension of the
free-bath system.
Must Not Be Confused.
The construction of municipal bath
houses should not be confused with the
movement for the Fairgrounds baths"
continued the inspector, "Inasmuch as
the public bath is primarily for adults,
although children would Ue welcome.
They should be built in the most con-
easily accessible by those whom II is
desired TO reach. The benefits of a pub
lie bath house certainly would be felt
In the Improvement of slum and alley
conditions. There Is at present no
place in Washington, with the exception
of the ha athlng beach. where one can
get a bath free
Approval is given by the Commits
sioners 70 the recommendations of the
Inspector of Plumbing, and In their next
annual report to Congress, attention
will be directed to the necessity for the
establishment of public baths in Wash
ington.
