QUGHT WE TO STOP THERE? One small section of New York is having a mild attack of small-pox. The doctors are hurrying about, vaccinating everybody, and an educated public is sensibly on the watch to make sure that Z| there shall be no epidemic, We are often complacent ubout ourselves in the matter of cloanness, indulging in much self-praise at the expense of our un eo ory CLEANER THAN VORMBRLY, SOT AN AS Lo pn, Cet ee eed little smallpox furry should remind us that, while we are cleaner than our ancestors were or than we used to be, we are still far from clean, We do not bathe enough. We are not sensitive enongh about Woe are not so particular as we should be about the cleanness of our environment, about per- fect order in our domestic economy, All of these plague diseases—and, to an extent which th politic or ignorant doctors will not admit, all kinds of disease—have y{their origin and their growth and their menace in uneleanness— that and nothing else, the consequences of their squalor when plagues were trying to ef- } fect a landing and set up in business, But the great factor in the decrease of plagues has been the rise in the human animal’s standard of cleanness, Tt is impossible for us to conceive how unelean the civilized por- tion of the Western branch of the human race was from the fourth permeeemmeemep century to the second quarter of the present achievement in art, No animal living in a state of nature ap: proached the human animal for personal repulsiveness and brutal insensibility to cleanliness. King and peasant, queen and beggar {inaid, all classes, both sexes, all ages, without exception beyond an oceasional “eccentric,” were unspeakably, unblushingly nelean— PJ unclean themselves, unclean in their surroundings, unclean in their habits, In Europe they are still unclean, judged by our American standards, Aside from a few of the people of rank and fashion the Kuropeans are, in respect of bathing, barbarians from and including the British Isles to the borders of ‘Turkey, In this country—well, thie is the land of the bathtub, the real bathtub as distinguished from the British hypocrisy which goos by that name, While taking a real bath in @ reat-tub in an European hotel usually agitates the establishment from turret to foundation stone, thore is hardly any part of America where a demand for a bath is regarded as a sign of irrationality, And in New York the passion for personal cleanness has reached a height that has only two prece- oomeeweemmeey donts in history—Athens in the age of Peri- IN OLBANEI clos and Rome under the early Caesars, re But even New York is far from clean, CLEANER WTA, If it were clean, no epidemic could pause sooeeececoerey hare, Kor every epidemic comes in unclean: ness from uncleannoss to uncleanness, Its degree depends upon the degreo of uncloanness, And oneo it gets a resting place, even the clean who ny be in poor health are not safe, So the real enomy is not the smallpox, but the men and women who do not bathe, do not keop themselves in civilized con- dition within and without, do not keep their houses—the servants! rooms and their own living rooms, as wel as the parlors and reception rooms—in a civilized condition, Tt ought to be against the law to build a house of any kind ‘| without bathrooms proportioned to the number of persons who are to live in the house. It onght to be against the law for a tenement house to exist without at least one bathroom to every two families, each bathroom conveniently situated for the people who ought to use it and, in the poorer tenements, where ignorance is deep, sa situated that the caretaker of the tenement can see that it is kept in order, Bathing is one of those commodities whereof the supply creates the demand, Make it convenient for every ohe to bathe every day, either at night or in the morning, and soon even those who can bathe conveniently but won'twill be shamed into cfvilized habits, Soon to bathe will be as much a matter of course of the daily toilet as to wash the face, comb the hair and brush the teeth, We are always shouting about reforms, Here is a reform that is certain of success and has no suggestion of Phariseeiam in it; Let some of our benevolent rich men—and we have a legion of them—~subseribe to a large fund for really elevating the condition of the poor, Let that fund be used in buying up several blocks in the most crowded tenement district and erecting upon the site of the squalid and squalor-breeding tenements a magnificent white- stone bath-house, with library, reading and lounging rooms. Let that bath-house be kept up in the most careful manner—so that the most particular person in the town would enjoy going there to bathe, Talk about your “centres of civilization”—would not that bath- house be a more potent centre of civilization than all the missions and “ragged clubs” and vice committees combined ¢ While we wait for the realization of this practical philanthropy or os BATIOROOMS POR Ald, AND A HROAMD-GUAGH REFOMM, oe dlesomeness, let us be each as clean as he or she personally can, Let us try to see to it makes an stgant (Pet beidhan ete. poemnen. tae hw vy rm of our nor in the parte where questionably very wnelean ancestors, ‘This |!
