| The children went an average distance of 900
miles from the city, representing 100000 miles
of travelling, in going TO and from their country
friends. All this vast amount of travelling was
accomplished without any sort of accident or mis-
fortune. The average cost per child SO 80 80
But, counting the number of days, allowing just a
fortnight's vacation for each child 0s3 fortnghts
were given at a cost Of 81 81 for each or reckon
! ing the time Of those who went TO COnoy Island,
| 549O fortnight vacations at an average cost
of 81 II each. The people took the children with
out compensation, and not penny was used from
the fund for salaries Office expenses ncidcntas,
| but every cent went directly TO the object
for which il was contributed. The average cost per
child little more this year than last from the
fact that they went longer distance into the
country. The people further from tho city volun-
teered their hospitality more freely than those
closer by Although the cost was somewhat in
creased by the longer ride the benefit Of the greater
change in scene and life correspondingly larger
large number Of ladies and gentlemen generously
gave their services in taking care Of the children
their trips. Now and then TO be sure it was the
free ride and free lunch that was the chief attrac-
tiOn in which they most devOutly wished
themselves home soon after they started But
usually IL genuine service, faithfully rendered
"A zeal that sought for no rest until the work was
fully done.
TRANSPORTATION.
On the journey it was often asked: "Do the rail
roads carry the children freci They ought to-"
They neither carried them free. nor ought
they TO have done so. II thcy made no
charge it would give those unable to
take the children to their homes no chance to aid
the work with their generous contributions of
money 1t would cut of large number of children
who wish to " lend hand and do so by getting up
fairs and festivals, sending the proceeds to aid
those less fortunate than themselves. Tho trans
portatiOn companies do their full share in taking
the children at onefonrth the regular fare aud vie
with each other iu making the journeys comfortable
