Once inside the door he placed the bot
tie Of acid on the little shelf and stepped
behind the door. His intention was to
remain there long enough to excite
Jim's curiosity, thus enticing him to
enter the hut. McWinter then planned
to spring outside and shut the door.
But McWinter's dog followed him into
the hut and then jumped out again,
causing the door TO slam shut.
When Jim opened the door after a

Expert Would Teach
Swimming in Schools

''swimmins should be taught in public
schools. II should be taught to girls
and boys alike. and It should begin in
the lnwur grades"
This 10 the belief Of George II. Corsan,
swimming expert, who has been visitin z
the Y. Nj. g. A. In WaLhington, where
he gave q denomination on New Year
Day.
In Jary. Ind. Mr.. Corsan said, swini-
ming already Ia q part OF the public
school curriculum. In Cincinnati swim
ming 10 encouraged. and twelve schools
have been equipped with pools since
Mr.. Corsan's campaign q year ago. He
conducted a campaign there similar to
that In Baltimore last Juue. when he
taught 1000 novicss how to swim in
ono week.
Swimming should be taught children
not only from the standpoint of safety,
but because It Offers exercise Of a kind
no other sport Affords" says Mr. Cor
san. Relaxation is ono of the secrets
Of the art Of swimming, fact which
explains the smooth. roun1 muecles OF
swimmers and their freedom from old
age wrinkles. A week. or tired heart
secures q much-needed rest. and la
thereby strengthened after all easy

Mr.. Corsan and his son together have
taught 244.00o boys to swim. according
to records kept by 7. N. c: AS where
they have conducted campaigns.
