It should be a municipal undertaking, handled under the direction of the School Board or some other competent authority with every organization in the community supporting it It is this news- paper’s opinion that it should be operated in con- junction with the schools, if not made an actual part of the school program. In many places in the States, high schools have made swimming, life saving and first aid a requirement for graduation just as is generally required in the institutions of higher learn- ing. Under school supervision and competent in- structors there is assurance that the full purpose of swimming facilities would be carried out. Private commercial ventures have worked out in large centers of population, but Juneau hasn’'t reached that size. ‘What Juneau needs is municipal swimming and ath- letic facilities—a recreation center where our chil- dren can have opportunity for swimming and for other forms of indoor play and exercise. ‘The time is over ripe for action.
