There is not room for more baths, however, in the gymnasium as it now stands. We even cannot well increase much more the number of lockers without encroaching on some exercising apparatus. The fact is that we want a larger gymnasium, where we can have more and better baths, as well as other necessities. There is ground enough about the building to add a new wing, and until that is done we must continue apparently to go without necessary accommodations. We do not ask for luxuries, for Turkish baths or hot air rooms or swimming tanks, - these are beyond present...

It is unfortunate that last year we were balked in our plans for lights, but an effort and an early effort should be made...
...complete understanding among those engaged in charity work is necessary to justice and mercy. True charity is that which has the least appearance of being so. It is better to teach abrade than to relieve a want; for as the sources of want are eliminated, others will arise. There is no real charity which is not personal. Money is not charity unless it is the expression of the personal interest and feeling of the giver. Professor Peabody described at length the methods pursued in the city of Liverpool and in Germany.
