SWIMMING TUITION.
Per Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, May 6. A departmental ruling giving teachers authority to insist on children taking swimming instruction will be sought by educational officers of the New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association. 'Die annual conference of these officers carried a motion this morning that the Education Department be asked to give a ruling on the authority of the teacher to insist on children who had no reasonable excuse for not doing so participating in swimming instruction. “We-hope to reach the goal of saying that every child in New Zealand physically able to do so can swim, and I think it is not blind optimism to say that that goal is now within measurable distance,” said the president of the' association (Mr F. G. Dunn) when welcoming the visitors. “In the last three years 90,000 children hare gone through the educational officers’ hands, and that is a record of which they are entitled to be very proud.”
