The board is perfectly, safe, and ono may learn toswjm in a very short timo by^using it. -It should be over four fecit long, over a foot wide, arid two inches thick, made of soft fwhito, pine or cedar.

Thi^ movement eariits bim along a few feet. He then driiws upiboth his legs at the, same timo, keening the knees as far apart as possible, and then strike out with both feet, not straight backward, but sideways, just as a frog does. The strokeis made slowly, and is repeated again, drawing up the leg sloirly, and steadily.
