It is, on the conâ€" trary, the ageâ€"old sport of swimming. This finding is reached by statistiâ€" cians of the United States National Recreation Association, who report that in 1935 no fewer than 46,500,000 people went to the public beaches, and 18,000,000 to the outdoor swimming pools in the continent. This compares with a seasonal participation in baseâ€" ball of 10,250,000 and in golf of slightly more than 6,000,000 . . .

Thus the people have been given great universities splenditdly enâ€" dowed, _ hospitals, public libraries, parks. Life has been lengthened by medical research financed by these fortunes. Is it certain that as much would have been done for the people if the United States, in the past half century, had possessed a law saying no individual might have an income of more, say, than $5,000 a year?
