It is high time for: America to adopt a similar policy as a safeguard against drownings, which are taking heavy toll ‘of life each i Summer in every casual swimming hole, as well as the rivers, creeks and bays.

That's a pretty high percentage when we consider the fact that two-thirds of these deaths were avoidable the people been able to swim. Swimming courses in schools and colleges should be made a part of the regular curriculum instead of an elective ' subject. Every ablebodied student should be required to take swimming just as she or he takes English or mathematics.

N years. EW YORK, July 6~Russell Clllow, the University of Washin, 9n fowing coach, will teach husky crews for at least several He has gone to Cuba, having resisted’ the blandishments of ' repre- sentatives of more than one university armed with contructs which were distinguished by flattering figures, But Rusty had a singularly compelling case of writer's cramp while in the East. \ Callow is a level-headed youn several salient characteristi ‘man. saw what This quality stands out among pened to Stevens at Harvard; he became acquainted with the tribulations of other coaches. It became clear to him that when an institution’s rowing affairs are in the doldrums nothing short of miracles are expected of a new .coach, and they must come speedily, too. Patience is not a dominating tribute of alumni rowing committees. If the first year of work shows prom- ise, the coach is not annoyed to any extent, but if something satisfactory does not happen in the second year the rowing teacher’s troubles begin— and as a rule, end, either through his resignation or dismissal. Results Are Demanded. You cannot censure the university in question. In this hectic age prompt results are a requirement, and no one is willing to bide the time while a careful and wmpetem coach lays the foundation system that will eventually bflnt to an institution its due and proper share of success— which is. niot to say long strings of sequential victorles. You see, while the coach may be laying the proper sort of t&undnuon. there is a chance he may not be. And no one has time nor inclination to accept that chance. Edward Leader came.to Yale and nllcd the EH. out of the slough. He have rowed at Washi Bm he was not successful at ale just because he sat in a Wash- ln‘ton shell. And coaches who have followed him from Seattle out into the world have not and are not going to put things overe merely because they were “Husky oarsmen. ‘Wherever Leader rowed he would have been successful as a coach be- cause he is endowed with certain rare qualities that {n.::u l'[ru.t tnghjer d:! row-lnl Know] of men and ju ment of their pol&bmfiu is one. 'l'M- rear he meeded a man for his shell l.nd so at length he picked Blr(hofm valuable varsity oar out of him. He has the quality of co-ordinating | matan a crew, chiefly through a certain gen- fus . for observation which enables him to detect at a glance those flaws in the work of one or more oarsmen ton. that militate against the simultaneous application of power. More, he has the ability to transmit certain psy- chological elements without which the virtues of the mechanical side of his teaching might well prove less ef- fective. Is Happily Situated. Another thing, he is happily situat- ed at Yale, inasmuch as it is a uni- versity where stidents are traditional- ly committed to the interests of their alma mater and are willing’ to make any sacrifice in her behalf, whole heartedly and, indeed, with high spirit. Again, it is not asked of him that he shall throw his eight into that white-hot competition at Poughkeep- sfe. All he has to do is to beat Har- vard every June and the way Harvard has been going in recent years this has not been such a tall order. ‘Were Callow to go to Harvard he might well complicate Leader's New Haven job. But why should he go” He is happy in Seattle; his home is there and there are his friends. The rowing material that comes to his hands is altogether exceptional. ‘Those who care for him personally would hate to see him exchange all this for a handful of silver and all the irksome and annoying things that would follow.
