Since the work of most people is likely to produce some unhygienic
element which can not be avoided, a compensation should be sought in an
avocation or 'hobby,' to be practised out of regular working hours. The
avocation should be far removed from the nature of the regular work.
Often the avocation can serve a productive purpose. Gladstone and Horace
Greeley sawed wood or chopped down trees for recreation. A well-known
engineer divided his recreation between writing stories and painting
pictures.
