A TRAGEDY AND IT'S LESSON.

.v~HAT was a shocking tragedy at the Y NJ c. A.
i camp on the Elk river last week. The sympathy
Of the entire community goes out to the Tatmar and
the Citing families. II also extends to those Y NJ.
C. A. ofhcias who. acuated by the best Of impulses,
had planned delightful outing for the boys who had
enrolled TO go into camp.
II the newspaper the circumstances attend
ing the drowning of W. Reed Ching anc Clayton Tat
man. OF this city, be correct the tragedy due to
the fact that young Citing who could not SWIM
tured into deep water and q frenzy of fright,
dragged down young Tatman, year his junior
little hero who had gone to his rescue.
In other words, II young Citing had known how TO
swim, the double drowning would not have occurred,
homes which dscons.la late from gries would
be enjoying their accustomed happiness
While little be said that will assuage the grief Of
the relatives OF the two drowned boys. think the
tragedy should serve the useful purpose OF impeng
all parents to teach their children. particularly the
boys. how to SWIM il unable TO do themselves.
to have the great life-saving art taught to them
This is the season for swing ST ch instruction No
time should be lost in doing It. Lessons in and
dancing all right but Lessons in swimming inf
niteiy important There thousands of chill
dren who know how to play and to dance who know
nothing whatever about the great preservative art Of
swimming We would not have Il understood that
9tnimize the social advantages Of music and
dancing but do wish to emphasize the fact that II
is more important that boy know how TO swim with
confidence than how TO play and dance. And by the
token it may be said there parents who
will spend hundreds of dollars equip their children
musical performers and dancers who would not
spend cent TO equip them swimmers II is a pity
that instruction in swimming is not recognized fea-
ture of common school system. II It we're. there
would be less occasion for parental concern and we
should tragedies such as those which shock
ed our community last week
It is true that a knowledge Of swimming does not
give immunity from drowning. because cramps and
other things may intervene to prevent the swimmer
from availng himself OF his knowledge and power It
be said however, thai the best insurance against
drowning is to know how TO swim. In a city situated
as ours IS on two rivers and creek and with baths
and pools at the disposal Of the public there is no
valid fer any Wilmington boy or girl not know
ing how 20 swim.
