Miss Nell Schmidt, the famous
mermaid of the Pacific, whose ex-

two continents, would have it
made necessary for every school
boy and girl to master swimming
before being allowed to graduate,
SO thoroughly convinced is she or
its benefits.
There should be swimming
tanks or pools In many spots OF
every city where children could
go and be taught how to keep
themselves on top of the water"
she said here recently.

many doctors would have to pull
down their signs and go out OF
business. Swimming is as near
perfect an exercise as anything
the human being can engage In,
bringing afl-round development
and robustness.
People tell me that the water
makes them sick IL they stay in
long. / presume 1t does. The rea-
son is they don't go In often
enough. One must get accustom-
ed to water just as one gets ac-
climated to various weathers.
