SCHOOL SWIMMING BATH
THE growing list of drowning tragedies in this district has moved many thinking persons to venture boldly the opinion that it is high time the parents got together and subscribed to the building of a bath at the school grounds. Those living in the vicinity will have noticed lately that frequent swimming parades are given and that the children walk from the grounds to the pool up the gorge and are given instruction there. The latter part of last week was devoted to swimming sports, yet to the onlooker,, the standard was not high, and there were-too many children in the role of spectators. Learn-to-swim pools (Hume variety) cost little more than £125. Surely the parents of Whakatane can at least subscribe to this extent. A full size bath is of course a different matter,, but the question is one which in the interests of all should not be allowed to drop.
