On the first page of The Herald
todav appears communication from
w. j. Schade, setting forth the fact
that the Lancaster gymnasium has
been losing proposition during the
past year and stating that unless con-
ditions can be remedied and made
more favorable this will be the last
year for the gym in this city.
We trust the situation may not be
permitted to reach such a conclusion.
The gym" is valuable feature.
Only those who have availed them
selves Of It's advantages really under
standing just how valuable it is to
the young people Of our community.
The experience Mr.. Schade is meet
ing with is that usually encountered
by the management of such institu-
tions, after few years active opera
tion. When the more enthusiastic
lovers Of athletics have obtained the
benefits and training therein afforded
the enthusiasm is allowed to wane and
give way to a sort of Indifference
that is often fatal to the institution.
We trust some means will be found
to reawaken the interest that should
exist and again give the gym a
patronage that will not only assure
its permanency but augment its
growth and prosperity.
