ISOLATION Ia to encourage bathing

ISOLATION Ia to encourage bathing
among its people by active propa-
ganda, oral. written and printed. The
school bath is regarded as the best
method Of propaganda in this direc-
tion. As n result there are more
school baths and vastly more public
baths in Germany than In any other
country. 1t appears to he the general
impression that these public baths are
more necessary In Germany than else
where. because the middle classes do
o have bathing facilities in their
homes. This may have been true
twenty years ago. To-day the apart
ment houses In the larger cities Of
Germany are provided with bathing
facilities Just ms ours are.
The president Of the association ex-
pressed n hope that the United States
would become a bathing nation, which
he regards as the first step toward
health. wealth, prosperity and eff
cheney In NIL phases Of life.
If this be true, and 1t Is a deduc-
tlon from history. the municipal au-
thorities Of New York may well look
To their credit II they continue to
withhold from the school baths, which
have been wisely constructed, the APP
preparation necessary for maintain
ing them. When the fact Is consid-
cred that 100000 Is nil that Is needed
for this purpose II would appear to be
n penny wise policy TO subject the
city TO nm odious comparison with
other and much smaller cities In this
country.
THIS dlscredltablc comparison may
furnish food for thought to those who
are now preparing the first details Of
the budget for next year.
