serv.reable of all strokes evolved to

and energy to undertake practice OF
some other stroke, which will have to
be unlearned later. instead of going by
direct route to'the object in view.
But there are several more reasons
for advocatin use of the crawl from
the start and among them the fact
that all its movements are natural
movements, which conform with in
born inclination, so that they require
no study and are executed almost in
stinctively
Another considera Aon of moment is
that the crawl system of elementary
schooling Is the simplest ever devised
and not only leads in the least time to
rudimentary natatorial ability. but also
lends itself better than any other to
selfinstruction.
II deserves mention while on this
point that the crawl method is the
only one which eliminates all need Of
membership in the tion of
