The Royal Life-saving Society and the. New Zealand Swimming Council have received something like £5OO per annum from the Minister oi Internal Affairs for the teaching of swimming in schools. Now that the subsidy has been withdrawn, the New Zealand Association, not having sufficient funds, finds itself unable to continue this valuable work. At ,tlie last meeting of the Wellington Cejitro a; dfeputation was' .appointed to wait on the Minister to endeavour to regain the concession. Members present pointed out that 3000 certificates were issued last year, costing from 3d to 4d each, and they were highly prized by the pupils, and did much to encourage children to learn to swim.
