The Saturday half-holiday is the first 

 move in this great need, and it is pleasant 

 to see it becoming more popular each 

 summer season. Many of our leading 

 merchants are even desirous of making a 

 full play-day of Saturday, and there are 

 some business places that recognize the 

 Saturday half-holiday throughout the 

 year. 



A quiet Sunday indoors is a nice form 

 of rest to the field laborer and all men 

 who labor in the open, but there can be 

 no true rest indoors for the plodding 

 officeman whose eyes are dimmed all the 

 week by artificial light, and whose head 

 is dulled by impure air and calamitous 

 figure work. Sitting quietly beside a fire- 

 place may be rest to the ploughman, but 

 it will not satisfy the penman.
