In view of the fact that exammations are now being held at the Stratford Technical High School no part will be taken in the week by the school. Swimming has already a large part in the schooi's activities, a definite period being spent in instruction every week during the season. At the end of the term, hOwever, one or two days would be devoted almost exclusively to swimming, said the principal, Mr. A. H. R. Amess, yesterday. Life-saving instruction, among other things, would probably be given. Nine senior pupils from the schdol who are not engaged in the examinations will assist the Inglewood Swimming Club during the week.
