Swimmngi the Best Exercise

Roger Cornell in Los Angeles Examiner.
Every man, woman and child should know
how to swim.
No intelligent person, after giving the subject
a serious thought, can offer good reason why
a knowledge Of the art Of swimming should
not be made a part OF the education OF every
boy and girl attending school When such Is
the case we shall soon have a grown-up commu-
nifty Of better developed people. AS means Of
recreation and for bodily Development swim
ming is the exercise that leads all Others,
there being no other form Of exercise that
tends to develop more the symemuy Of the
body or add more to health and pleasure,
when properly INDUCED in than swimming
No one knows when he or she may be
called upon for a practical test OF their knowl-
edge of the art, and when sneh emergency
arises a knowledge of swimming Is not only
needed, but there is a great. risk loss Of life
in a majority Of Instances, where there Is
lack Of knowledge Of this useful accomplish
tiOn In swimming and life saving be made
part Of the daily work Of al educational In
situations.
We occasionally hear the statement made
that good swimmers are frequently drown
ed, but a careful inquiry into the facts shows
that the percentage Of such fatalities among
experts is 50 small as to not bear serious
mers are really not proficient at all in the
sense Of being able 10 take care Of them
selves under all conditions, and usually lose
their lives in some foolhardy attempt that
more competent person would not think Of try
ing.
The art of swimming is easily acquired.
and II we win build proper swimming baths
in connection with every schOOlhOuse, or as
many such separate and properly equipped
baths as will meet the demands and make it
a natter OF compulsory education, along with
reading writing, arithmetic and other studies,
and provide competent instructors to carry on
the work-the knowledge of this valuable art
will soon become almost as cOmmoa as walk
ing or talking properly.

masses of stone contained in the walls
of the fort. Mexican convicts were also
brought to help in it's construction. There
are rooms that resounded with walls
from unfortunates, all manner of tor
ture was brought to bear, and in one
room was found two iron cages, one con-
tanning a mans the other a woman's
skeleton. Think what unwritten history
those walls concealed and tell me if the
world is not growing better?
1t takes ones own eyes and imagination
to do the subject Justice; sit within its
walls, or climb upon its battlements and
watch the shadows fall, the tide go out,
hear those strange owls screech and you
will say words fail me-" just as we did.

father, father and youngest child, died
from eating toad Stools thinking them

The mother was sent to the hospital
and recovered. The day she was sent
home she was driving a horse that
stumbled and she fell out of the wagon
and broke her neck. The children speak
