" The Beckenham record of an average of 28 Certificates
for each Department in the District is the highest that has been
obtained in any District since the formation of the London
Schools Swimming Association, in 1904. The most successful
Department in Beckenham Schools was Bromley Road Girls,
with a total of 43 Certificates. These results indicate the
value of the system of instruction here. I take this opportunity
of expressing my appreciation of the co-operation of
those school teachers who have carried out the land-exercises
at the schools, thus preparing the children under their direction
for instruction in the water. In open competitive events a
Team from Church Fields Boys' School obtained third place
in the Schoolboy Championship Team Race of the Southern
Counties, and a Church Fields Schoolboy, E. Cox, obtained
third place in the 100 Yards Junior Championship pf Kent.
LIFE SAVING CLASSES.

" Of the above totals, Bromley Road Girls' School obtained
43 Elementary and 32 Advanced Certificates, which numbers
are higher than those of any other Girls School affiliated to the
London Schools Swimming Association."
