Functamental Difference Between Twa
Schools Concerning Human Body.
By MRS. H. A. L. FISHER, Wife of British Minister of Education.
Councilor Donald Clark of Tonbridge objected to mixed bathing on
•athetic grounds. He did not think that the damsel, of Tonbridge looked
their best in bathing attire, and he feared lest the oversensitive youths of
tho city, beholdiii,; the maidens damp and disheveled, would, in conse­
quence, abjure matrimony.
No doubt there sre many people who only admire the human form
when it is furthest removed from nature. But. after all, thev do not
represent the best
most prominent view. It ia not really on esthetic
grounds that opposition to mixed bathing u based. This plea, it is to
be feared, is rnainiy camouflage. The fundamental difference of opiuion
ia between tho^- who believe, no doubt sincerely, that the human l»odv
is something which should be concealed and mentioned with adequate re­
serve, and those who regard it a» beautiful and glorious in itself.
Closely, indeed. iriM-parably, all e<l tn the first of these ia the view
that makes »ex a shameful thing, to be referred to ofily in whispers, to be
kept from the knowledge of the young, a secret and a my»tery compounded
of allurement, danger, and scurrility. It ia because this view of it, modifi­
cations has ho long prevailed that we still have to contend with our annual
lO.Oixi illegitimate children, our young people with live, ruined through
ignorance, our children marred before birth by the sins or follies of their
parents.
We want them to have beautifiu and healthy bodies and to take a
wholesome pride in their health ami beauty. To that end we want a
great extension of facilities for physical training, for games, folk dancing,
singing, open-ajr life, »ports, and cortamly for swimming—one of the
moat health-giving of all exercises The old-fashioned view lingers, but
it is passing, and most of us hail with joy this new era. in which young
men and young women meet in healthy and open companionship, be­
lieving that the right marriages will be encouraged and firm foundations
laid for the happiness and prosperity of the race.
