Reseña del editor
In 1913, according to the United States census statistics, over seven thousand persons lost their lives through accidental drowning. It is a strange fact that many who are daily exposed to danger from drowning do not know how to swim. This is true of lumbermen, of men in the navy, of many who are members of crews on ships and boats. It is not underestimating the facts to say that fully twenty-five percent of all young men and boys in the United States over twelve years of age do not know how to swim, and the percentage is, of course, much larger when applied to both sexes and to all ages. Every one should know how to swim, for at least three reasons: It is a splendid form of exercise, judged from the standpoint of physiology, resulting in improved health accompanied by ease and grace of carriage; it imparts selfreliance and courage, which become elements in ones character, increasing ones power both for good and against evil; and finally it may prove the means of saving life.
