N0 HIGH scH0nL sMnnING P0OL.

m HERE is to be no swimming pool in the basement
/ Of the b the Wilmington High School,
That is disappointing news TO Wilmngtonians and es-
pecially to the boys and girls who have working
so ndustriously have such pool made part of the
gymnasium equipment The New Buildings Committee
Of the Board OF Education has reported that It has
neither the money nor the room to provide and
that in reality it is not needed children should be
taught to swim before they reach the High School age
There is indefinite statement that In future swim
ming may be taught in pools in the elementary schools
If be decided that part Of the duty of the school
authorities to teach swimming. Suggestion also is
made that the public baths in various parts of city
and the pools in the Y. NJ. c. A. and the Y. W. C. A.
supply ample facilities this time for learning to swim
and indulgence in the exercise Of swimming
The long and the short Of II is that High School
annex is to be built a cost OF approximately $780,
and important gymnasium feature like the swim
ming pool is to be eliminated from its appointments
That is line with the policy OF the Baynard Board
Of Education To have the gymnasium feature ncor-
porated in the plans for the building, it was ne
eessary to hold mass meeting Of students in the New
Century Club and to prosecute an aggressive campaign
outside the school From this time the High School
students should make a determined fight for a pool
and not relinquish it until it has been The idea
that pool in connection with gymnasium exists
--afrely as a place in Which to learn to swim is
ridiculous II is an important part OF twentieth CEN
tury gymnasium equipment and used more for indul-
eence In tho health-produong and healthconserving
art OF swimming than place in which boy or
girl who does know how to swim may learn to do
so If the committee wishes to satisfy itself on that
point let it 90 to the Y. NJ c. A. swimming pool and
see how literally it is paronized by business and
others who learned to swim many years and who
know what good and cleansing exercise it is
The students have won their fight for a gym. They
should now 80 after a pool and stop until they
get it, Two or three years may required to win. but
the result will be worth the effort
