PUBLIC BATHS.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

The modern public bath. which affords
pleasure and comfort to thousands of
people each day. is really a revival of one
of the oldest institutions in the world.
The public bath was in high favor in the
palmy days of the Roman empire It is
said that the city of Rome contained at
least $50 public lighthouses, and archeol-
ogists find the remains of a public bath
wherever Grecian or Roman civilization
is known to have existed. Rich and poor.
slave and freeman, enjoyed free bathing
privileges in an abundant water supply
provided by the city.
In those ancient days the bath was an
institution for pleasure as we'll as for
personal cleanliness. Men and women
frequently bathed together with little re-
gard for the distinctions of sex, and much
undue license resulted. Consequently the
Christians regarded the bath as a source
of evil and it was not in public favor
for centuries. A general lack of cleanli-
ness resulted and scientists longed for the
days of the Romans when personal clean
Illness was considered essential and no
one could plead lack Of water for
bathing. Within the past half century
the public bath has again come to delight
civilized man, and it is now conducted
with a due regard for the conventional
ties in order to disarm adverse criticism.

this country were opened in Boston In

to be within easy reach of the city s
poor. By 1897 the number had increased
to fourteen. New York was the first
state to pass compulsory legislation COM
pelling the establishment Of the bath. A
bill passed by the legislature In 1895 re-
quired every city having a population of
more than $4,000 to be provided with
baths, which should be kept open all the
year. Cities having population of less
than $4,000 were privileged to establish
baths If desired, and all public baths
were required to be provided with both
hot and cold water. The first city to
comply with this new law, and probably
the first city in the United States to pro-
vide all the requirements for bathing
comfort, was Yonkers. A finely equipped
public bathhouse was opened there La
Dor day, 1896 Two years later Philadel-
phia opened It's first free public bath
house, equipped for 1900 baths day.
Aside from the public baths established
by the municipalities, large number OF
institutions have established free baths
in connection with their charitable or
educational work. Most of these ante
dated the municipal lighthouses, and
some of them are being discontinued
since the municipal baths have been es-
tablished. The Young Mems Christian
Association has provided bathing and
swimming poois in all of its largest build
ings. In some of them these privileges
are confined exclusively to members, and
in others non-members can use them by
the payment of small fee. Gymnasiums
connected with colleges and schools as
we'll as different kinds of clubs and or
ganizations have provided bathing facil-
tiles to a limited number of persons.

two purposes-that of cleanliness and of
providing facilities for learning to swim
The physical education movement has
done much to aid In the establishment
of increased public bath facilities. Every
all-around athlete realizes the value of
swimming as physical exercise, aside
from its utility in preserving human life.
Swimming schools have been established
in only few of the public schools in
this country. The Paul Revere School Of
Boston was the first in this country to
have this convenience. although a year
or two later 1t was provided for several
schools in Brookline. The directors of
physical culture in many towns are en-
deavoring to include swimming lessons
in the physical work Of the public
schools. Where a sufficient water supply
is available this easily can be done. One
elementary school In Chicago last year
made the claim that for three years no
child had reached the eighth grade with
out being able to swim. When the pools
could not be added to the school building
the physical culture teachers took the
children to the public baths which had
swimming pools attached.
The addition of swimming pool to the
public bath has done much to improve
the personnel of the people who go there.
The first public baths, being established
merely to aid in personal cleanliness,
were patronized chiefly by persons who
had insufficient bathing facilities at home.
They were especially useful to the tene-
ment residents in the great cities, In
cluding the immigrant class. Com
paratively few Americans went to the
earlier public baths until the swimming
