Hi Kevin, Thanks for this interesting sociological study illustrating the the benefits which came to 19th century American cities by providing public bathing facilities for the tenement districts and schools.KevinS wrote: ↑December 28th, 2020, 6:39 pm "The progress of the public bath movement in the United States" (1913)

I wonder if there is a connection here?
"I have given considerable thought to the important question of the ventilation of the classrooms in schools...nothing will help this question of pure air in the classroom more than the establishment and regular weekly use of the school baths provided for the pupils..." William Paul Gerhard
Haha! My students were also equitation students. They were not allowed into the dining hall unless they showered!Sue Anderson wrote: ↑December 28th, 2020, 8:14 pmHi Kevin, Thanks for this interesting sociological study illustrating the the benefits which came to 19th century American cities by providing public bathing facilities for the tenement districts and schools.KevinS wrote: ↑December 28th, 2020, 6:39 pm "The progress of the public bath movement in the United States" (1913)

Thanks for the study of public bath houses Kevin.
It seems that eye is doing a fine job of reading. A few errors noted:
The beginning: This recording is in the public domain – I don't know if Sue allows changing the beginning.
20:57 an association of public-spirited citizens, organized in October 1895, and advocated the introduction of rain baths. You said organized in 1889

I want to read an article from Chambers' Journal, and as is often the case, the article only has initials at the end. Do I say "by 'W.C.'" or "by Anonymous"? WC is likely William Chambers, one of the brothers who co-edited the journal, but I'm not 100% sure....

That is, I'd say "by W.C."ColleenMc wrote: ↑December 31st, 2020, 5:36 pm I want to read an article from Chambers' Journal, and as is often the case, the article only has initials at the end.

"Chambers's Edinburgh Journal was a weekly 16-page magazine started by William Chambers in 1832. The first edition was dated 4 February 1832, and priced at one penny. Topics included history, religion, language, and science. William was soon joined as joint editor by his brother Robert, who wrote many of the articles for the early issues, and within a few years the journal had a circulation of 84,000." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chambers%27s_Edinburgh_Journal#cite_note-AboutUs-3
Looking forward to hearing what you have picked out to read!

This may be slightly more lyrical than is usually published here, but it has an edge I like, and is more reportage than created fiction.
