Compulsory Life-Saving.
"I think the Government could help life-saving by making it compulsory for all children passing from the sixth standard to high schools to. obtain a knowledge of life-saving," said the president, Mr. H. H. Henderson, at a meeting of the Otago branch of the Royal Life-Saving Society. Mr. Henderson said that if the Government passed the proposal on to the educa-, tion board it would be doing more service to life-saving than by making a grant to the society. It was decided to bring a remit before the annual conference that instruction in life^naviug and desuscitation be made compulsory in secondary schools.
