LIFE SAVING DIPLOMA.
Candidate Passes Practical Test. An examination for the practical section of the Diploma of the Royal Life having Society was held this moining at the Christchurch Municipal Baths. The candidate was Miss Vera. I. Stewart, of the Avonside Girls’ High School, and the examiners Misses D. Brown and O. F. Booth. This is the highest award granted by the society, the present examination being only the twelfth conducted in Canterbury since the inception of the society in 1910. Miss Stewart was successful in passing each of the seventeen tests in the practical section, gaining the creditable total of 120 marks out of a possible 170. A long plunge of 53ft Tin is deserving of special mention, for this distance is over three feet above that required to gain maximum points, an 1 has been surpassed only a few times at the Christchurch baths.
The result of the theoretical section will not be known until the paper submitted has been marked by the members of the R.L.S.S. Central Executive Board of Examiners in London.
