Every man today realizes his need of sun, of warmth, of pure air and clean floors; he has been taught to wear a shiny white collar, and women love find white linen. Man feels today that he must have intellectual diversion, relaxation for his body, and the physical culture needed to recuperate him after the tension of muscle or brain, which his labour – ‘hard labour’ – brings. This mass of desires constitutes in fact a mass of demands. Now our social organization has nothing ready which can answer these needs.
