ers. Watch the appalling casual- ties accompanying very many of the industrial pursuits. Shall we therefore abolish all such pleasuresi and pursuits? The art of falling, learned 6n the foot ball grounds or in a gymnasium. has. _ enabled many a man to escape injury by the accidental falls in practical life. But what can we db to‘pret vent the loss of life incident to bathing in the lake? What can it is nota safe place for young people to bathe even though they are ”good swimmersé” unless some strong. mature and skillful ‘ swimmer is present to care for them- It may be said, and is said that young boys and girls should not be allowed to go bath- ing in the lake Theoretically that sounds well: but theory and facts are often at variance and as in this case, ought to be at variâ€" ance. There is no more enjoy- able sport to the young people - and no more healthful Sport under proper conditions than swimming; But swimming is something~m0te than a mere sport. It is a 'vigor- lous exercise, well calculated to develop every muscle of the body. It is a sanitary exercise It is a valuable art. Not only because every day men are, saved .from accidental drowning by being able to~sw‘im, but lives are conâ€" stantly being lost because no _ swimmer is-present to save them- But the question now is what can be done to ,stop this sad loss of life. It will not do to say we will prohibit bathing in the lake First we cannot prohibit. at any ' rate without an expense greater than the cost of preventing acci- dents- Secondly. we ought not to prohibit it, The fact that it is accompanied by danger is no final argument against it. Every x that matter is more or less hazard- on: Watch the list of. deaths among the base ball players, and L a little later among foot ball play- There is no more crumbling work than that of saving human life especially the lives at the young, the boys and the girls. Once again Bighland Park has been saddened by the drowning of Alfred Keller last Friday off our lake shore. We recall several victims of our treacherods lake shore within the last few years. Is l! not quite time that we made all possible effort to stop these ‘ sad tragedies? We all know that : our lake share 15 treacherous, that whom most of the benevblc'nt efforts are centered. ' ’ Never in the life of the human race, so far as history shows. has there been so much interest taken in the betterment of all classes and conditions as at the present‘ ‘time. Individual efforts for the uplift of humanity IS giving place, at least comparatively, to organ- ized philanthropic movements.

After F the meeting was over 'some one satdvtohim: "Mr. Mann, wasn't that too strong a statement when yOu said that the saving of one boy was worth all the costs of the association?” _”Not if it were my boy," promptly replied Mr. Mann. What loving father would, not give his last dollar to bring back his lost boy! What good ‘ tmzen tsnot mllmg to be taxed (to save every father's boy from being lost?
