October 31, 1925 WINNETKA TALK 45 DECLARES WOMEN NEED GYMNASIUM EXERCISE | Community 'House Women's Class Fulfills Distinct Need, Says Director Clarke The large attendance at the morning gymnasium class for women at Com- munity House, appears to indicate that its program meets a distinct need as well as offering an opportunity to women for recreation and exercise. This is shown not only by the en- thusiastic spirit which radiates from the class, say leaders at the center, but is evidenced in the pink cheeks, sparkling eyes and spirit of youth in all. Many women are present each Monday and Thursday morning and allow nothing to interfere with this 9 o'clock class. An interview with Harry P. Clarke, who has this class in charge, gives some interesting facts concerning the things he is attempting to carry through in this work.

It is most important that women between the ages of 30 and £0 and | 40 keep themselves in good physical condition, for their condition then largely determines their physical fit- ness for the remainder of their lives. Most women do not exercise enough during these years. The automobile has done away with the good old- fashioned exercise of walking in the out-of-doors, and as the winter months approach, women are apt to lead more and more of a sedentary, artificial life. It is to evercome the effects of this that this program of the morning gymnasium class is offered." These gymnasium classes have been in progress for several years, and are open to all women inWinnetka.
