“THE OLD SWIMMIN’-HOLE” : ■: “Oh! the old .swimmin’-hole! In the long, lazy days, "When the lmm-drum of school made so many run-a-ways, ITow pleasant was the journey down the old dusty lane, Where the tracks of our bare feet was all printed so plain, You could tell by the dent of the heel aud the sole, They was lots o’ fun on hand at the old swim-min’-hole." —James Whitcomb Riley THE PECULIAR TIIRTLL OF “THE OLD SWIMMIN’ HOLE” may be lacking, but the swimming pools in our parks, playgrounds and gymnasiums form a safe substitute for the city boy aud girl. WITH A SHOWER BEFORE THE PLUNGE, and the water of the pool frequently renewed and sterilized, the modern city “swimming hole” is safeguarded against the dangers to health which may lurk in the nearby streams. SWIMMING IS A NATIONAL SPORT, and the chance to have a swim as a part of their national inheritance is rapidly being extended to all our boys and girls. INDIANAPOLIS WATER CO.
