are used as watchdogs If they are
caught young and brought up with
coats they will 80 out into the hills

SWIMMING SCHOOL rs
TO OPEN AT Y. M. G. A,

That three-fouTths Of the boys in the
local high school have some knowl-
edge of swimming is an interesting fact
brought to light by poll made by Of
fcials of the Y. NJ. c. A. of all the boys
in the Moline institution. The investi-
cation was made as a preliminary to a
learn to swim campaign that is to
be conducted by the physical depart
ment Of the association. The cam
paign will commence next week
There are approximately 400 boys in
the Moline high school. Of this num-
Der only 100 responded to the question
Of whether they knew how to swim
with the answer that they had no
knowledge of the art. Contrary to the
general belief, however, most Of the
boys had learned how to swim after
they had passed the age of IA. Few
of the freshmen stated that they had
any knowledge of aquatics, while a
