A SUGGESTION FOR DIR. OHAGE.
The splendid success achieved by DR..
Ohage with the public bath house sug-
gests the idea that public gymnasium
for the winter months would be equally
successful The baths have proved dur
ing the hot summer months a great boon
to many thousands of st. Paul people,
and it is not improbable that a scheme
could be carried out to provide healthful
indoor recrea ton for the people during
the winter. A public gymnasium where
they could indulge III physical exercises
and, perhaps, enjoy some good music
and light refreshments. would do more
to attract the young men and women
of the city and draw them from the
questionable resorts than all the preach
ing and hymn-singing could effect in
month of Sundays
Under the direction of such a man as
DIR. Ohage, a public gymnasium could
not fail to be a thoroughly popular and
wholesome institution, and while the
G o b e recognizes that the doctor is
very much overwerlied man, it also
recognizes that he possesses those rare
qualities which are essential in the man
who can carry out successfully large
schemes for the physical and moral i'm
provement Of the community.
