TEACHING CHILDREN TO SWIM
Valuable Course Has Been Added to
the Public Schools Of the City
of Pittsburgh.

A course in swimming has been
added to the required studies In the
public schools of Pittsburgh, and DR..
Watson l.. Savage is quoted as saying
that he will see to it that every child
in the city is taught to swim. This
is a step in public education that de-
serves the hearty approval of every
parent and every seeker of the public
welfare.
ITO ride, to shoot and to speak the
truth" was the ancient Persian ideal
Of education. Needless to say, this was
for boys only; girls in this day rare
better than when the maxim was
made. They are taught to exercise
as we'll as to develop their brains
nowadays. Alike boys and girls ought
TO learn to swim, and the public
should provide means of teaching That
most valuable and pleasurable accom-
plishment. ;.
Swimming is a splendid sport; II
develops muscles rarely used IN otner
sports and its usefulness is beyond
question. Yet comparatively few per-
sons learn to swim. There are sailors
who have spent many years on the
water but are unable to keep ahoat

Whenever a sufficient number OF vol

locality this information will be COM
uunicated by the War Department to
the department commander and he will
detail an officer TO muster in the re-

and men OF the different organizations.
For instance. in the country dis
tricts the period at which an organi-

begin after the crops had been har-
vested. In the city districts il would
