EDUCATION NOT ALL MENTAL
Man Who Could Not Swim 10 Refused
Diploma by Authorities at the
Columbia University.

The authorities at Columbia univer-
sity have refused to award q diplima
to senior who has not learned to
swim the length of the pool in the
gymnasium. A few years ago such
action would have been deemed alb
surd. There are those who are unable
to swim the length Of q gymnasium
pool and a students qualifications for
q degree Of bachelor Of arts says the
st. Paul Pioneer Press. They are the
people who believe that the only bene-
1T to be derived from attendance 4
college is obtained from books. The
requirements imposed at Columbia Is
an indication of the more practical
turn that is being given to educational
effort in recent times.
While most boys learn to swim with
out the aid Of college or even common
school instruction, there are few
things acquired in university of
more practical value. Every one not
physically disqualified should be mod
erately proficient In the art Of keep
ing afioat in the water. 1t II q simple
thing, easily learned and should be
part of the education Of even grade
school children. Columbia is setting
3 good example In Withholding q d.
ploma from man who cannot swim.

swell. From itching, and scratching
them so it caused them to spread;
there would be sores from scratching
them SO intensely. My face and neck
were covered with pimples. 1t looked
as II my whole face was in one solid
rash or sore, and l was nearly crazy
with itching and burning. At night
they would be very bad so l hardly

SWAP CHILDREN IN DENMARK
Curious System Of Exchanging Little
Folk During Summer Months-
Scheme Works Well.

In Denmark there is a curious sys-
TEN of exchanging children during the
summer. The country people send
their little ones to the city people. and
the latter send theirs to the country.
The state delivers free tickets. and
the schools send the children accord
ing to the applications from families.
The children travel alone, each one
wearing a ticket of Identification
pinned on the jacket or bodice. Should
any Of them 60 astray they are lodged
at the first station whilst inquiries are
made. The young travellers are met at
their destination by the peasants and
their wives.
Treated with affectionate care by
these good hearted people. the children
often enjoy privileges they have never
hpown at home. There is NO severe
discipline nor irksome restraint. They
return home full of tales about theil
adventures, and their mothers are de.
lighted to fnd' them looking rosy
checked. fat, and healthy The peas
ant women feed them we'll and often
make them fresh clothing.
The latter send their children into
the towns and volunteer guides show
them the monuments and sights Last
year the principal restaurant keepers
at Copenhagen gave them a series OF
feats and organized little dancing par
ties for their amusement Both cate
gories Of children benefit by this mode
Of exchange. which. it may be noted.
