The New Bath House Has
Been Completed
The board of control has comploted
the bath house at tho swimming hole
in tho creok at Riverside park and full
arrangements have been mado for In
structing the boys In the art of swim
ming and assisting them in their gam
es and water sports. Tho board has
arranged to open tho houso for tho
use of the bathers, for dressing, each
day and has made but tho ono rule
that trunks be worn by all tho men
and boys who use tho creek for bath
ing. This being public grounds they feel
that this Is the bes,t plan for all con
cerned, and Is a reasonable rulo to
make.
Tho Young Men's Christian Associa
tion has agreed to furnish Instruction
for those who deslro to learn to swim
and who wish to learn some of the fin
er points of the sport, etc. Mr. Bliss.
physical director of the association, or
some ono whom ho will select, will bo
nt the creek certajn days of tho week
for this purpose. The days for this
week are Thursday and Saturday af
ternoons, from 2 to 4 o'clock. 'Parents
can be assured that their boys will
be looked after during theso hours.
Certainly there could hardly be any
thing of a physical nature more bene
ficial or desirable than every person
In the community being able to swim
well.
The people of tho community will
greatly appreciate this move on the
part of the city council nnd tho board
.of control. It is one of the best things
that has yet been dono In behalf of
the play llfo of the community. This,
together with the splendid caro that
Is given the entire Riverside park, and
the now drinking fountains that have
been ordered for tho already splendid
monument square park aro indica
tions that the city officials desire to
boost the play grounds movement that
has been talked of so much lately.
