Teach swimming In the Public schools.

To THE EDITOR or THE SUN--Sir: The
story of the elght-year-old girl who saved
her life on the Empress Of Ireland by her
knowledge Of swimming has induced me
to ask the Mayor to use his influence
with the Board of Education to have
every child in the public schools taught
to swim, The Mayor has replied saying
he will take mp the matter with the Pres-
dent OF the Board of Education,
Thousands of children have learned "a
swim in the swimming baths moored Ia
the docks around New York, but now the
Health Board has condemned them MS UNI
healthy. In the last six years there have
been over 1900 deaths from drowning in
the city, Surely this Is greater toll
than could come from any disease likely
TO arise from unhealthy conditions of the
water.
How many of the children ON the Slo-
cum could have been saved had they
known how to swim?
If all citizens who favor this object will
write to the Board of Education there ID
little doubt but that swimming will In
future be taught in the public and other
schools. ROBERT FLAHERTY.
