"HE yearly list of fatalities by drown
ing is so appalling in the United
Il States. despite the brave corps OF
lifesavers doing duty at our bathing re-
Sorts that there is evidently crying need Of
spreading among the public better knowl-
edge of those simple rules of rescue and
resuscitation, which will enable the great
majority to cope adequately with the situa-

loss of life can be checked.
One cannot indeed but feel II a sad re-
Election on our country that the art OF
lifesaving has been so completely neglected
among us, Notwithstanding the rapidly
growing popularity of all other branches
of aquatcs. 1t is an every day occurrence
TO find men and women pridng themselves
on their experience in and on the water,
who are quite helpless when confronted
with the task of going to the aid of one
In danger or of caring for the apparently
drowned. And this ignorance in people
who have had every opportunity to fit
themselves for the purpose is absolutely
objectionable.
Those in charge Of the education of our
boys and girls should deem it a duty to
amend the deplorable state of affairs. AL
ready the necessity of teaching swimming
to the younger generation has made itself
felt. and one by one our schools and col
leges are making natation a compulsory
part of their curriculum; but that is not
enough Quite as important, If not more
so. is the establishment of lifesavins
courses. which will enable al, both to pro-
tect themselves and to help others when
the occasion arises.

Let us take first the line of conduct pre-

danger, as worded in the code. Here are
the instructions given:

then your shoes. tie and collar. Thus

whether the water is still or running.
