No Bacteria in Tank.

The High School has been very for
tunate in having the cooperation of
Er. Roswell Petit who every two or
three days makes an examination Of
the water in the pool taking the bac.
terra count of the same, He has re-
ported eery time that the water was
absolutely pure and was free from
any colon bacilli or other harmful
bacteria His analyses have shown
that the water ON each occasion was
pure enough to be used as drinking
water.
A great many people have asked
why the High School was SO particu-
lar about tank suits. Great care is
needed IN the matter Of suits for sew
eral reasons First of all, suits with
as little cloth as possible should be
used because the amount of lint which
goes into the water from the cloth
tends to clog up the filter and there.
fore the suits must be used with a
minimum amount OF cloth and cloth
Of such texture that 1t sheds the mini
mum amount Of lirt In the second
place, in these days when no colors
are guaranteed because of poor dyes
colors could not be risked in the
water which have a tendency to run
thus adding contamination to the
pool. Swimming pool instructors the
country over have found by expert
enCe that the so.called Annette Keller
man suit made Of Il gray hard twisted
material offers the least danger fol

from men and women Of the city, ac-
cording to a statement issued today
by the High School Board. in which
the success of the pool and gymna-

Two weeks ago announcement was
made by the Township Board OF Edu-
cation that there would be gymnasium
and swimming pool classes from five
to six three days a week for men and
two days week for women. About
thirty-ive men have enrolled in the

struction of Mr. Paul Beard, the High
School gymnasium instructor. Miss
Lorothy Green, an expert swimmer
from the American School OF Physical
Culture in Chicago, is in charge OF
tie swimming instruction for the wo-
men.
Use Strict Vigilance.
The utmost vigilance Is being exer'
cised in order to be sure that the
water in the pool is kept fresh and
pure and free OF all contamination
Every minute that the pool is in use
the water is circulating thru large
filter in the basement The water IL
pumped thru this filter by an electri,
centrifugal pump. The water passes
thru sand, gravel and charcoal ant
on its passage thru the filter is treat
ed with alum which acts as cOagula

which acts as sterilzer. There j
no better method known to scienc
