It seems almost childish after all that has been said about the water in the gymnasium, to add another protest against the present unpardonable state of things. It seems all the more needless to say anything since the grievance is one not difficult to remedy, but one which a very little attention could set right. For some time past there has been a great deal of irregularity in the supply of hot water in the gymnasium. Some evenings it will be shut off altogether, before most of the squads have finished training; at other times the supply of hot water will be curiously erratic, coming for five minutes and then refusing to come for fifteen more. Under ordinary circumstances a man has to wait in line for his bath long enough without having to stand many more minutes on that cold, wet floor while the glow of his exercise is slowly leaving him, all the time waiting for the hot water to come back again. This takes it for granted that he finally gets hot water. When, however, he does not, he has either to take a sudden plunge in the shower bath, or go without bathing, in neither case deriving the benefit of a good, warm water bath. Moreover he runs a great risk of catching cold. There is not the slightest excuse for this state of things continuing a day longer. Whoever has charge of the boilers should see that there is an ample supply of hot water on hand up to the time when the last of the squads finishes practising.
