Vice President Corwin H. Spencer Of the
Transit Company will take up with General
Manager Dupont to-day the question of
modifying the rule by which the children
of the Fresh Air Mission are carried over
the company's lines so as to permit them
to ride without presenting a physicians
certificate in lieu of fare.
I. Percy Carr, chairman Of the Fresh Air
Committee on Outing, is the author Of the
new idea. 1t has become apparent to the
committee that the number of children who
have procured physcians certificates repre-
sent a very small percentage of those who
are really In need Of the pleasure that the
mission is striving to give.
Few OF the vast army Of children who
would avail themselves of the city play-
grounds have done so under the arrange
ments which cause them to secure a GER
tihcate that they are in need of recreation.
CHAIRMAN Cars plan Is to make the Fresh
Air Mission workers the sponsors for the
children instead Of the physician.
If the Transit Company officials agree to
the innovation the Fresh Air Mission work
ers Will secure the attendance Of groups Of
children in the different districts of the CITY
either to Forest. Tower Grove, CarondeIet
or OFallon park. greater attendance
Will be assured by this method as Chair
man Carr looks at the matter.
vice President Spencer said last night
that he would confer with Mr.. Carr to-
present It to General Manager Dupont for
his considera Sdn and approval Mr. Spencer
added that the Transit Company was as
anxious as the Fresh Air Mission to secure
The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1901-07-26

, the largest attendance of children possible
and the company would cooperate in every
feasible manner.
The preparations for the reception of the
children at Forest Park yesterday was far
beyond the attendance. These arrange
ments will have been increased to-day
when the large children's tent is completed
this morning at the I.aclede pavilion on the
Transit Company's lines.
Mrs. Anna G. Eberhard, chairman Of the
committee In charge of the Forest Park
reception plans, said last night that a great
inducement to the children had been added
John d. Hopkins. who has assured the
Fresh Air Mission that the Forest Park
Highlands, including all of its attractions
and the theater, would be free to the chill
dren under the care Of the mission every
day Of the week.
Barrels of milk and lemonade and dainty
crackers will be ready for the little visitors
at the IAclede pavilion tent at o'clock
this morning. If Bobby or Johnny or Sue
goes out to the spots where the grass is
green canopy of high summer rustles like
Whispering music over their weary young
heads. they will not have to go home again
when they grow hungry.
Those things that quench thirsty threats
after play and appease hunger await them
at the hands of very pleasant ladies' and
gentlemen. who will be there all day 70
serve their wants. Ask and 1t shall be
given. That is the plan of the mission.
The same arrangements will be made at all

confident that. with the removal of the
embarrassment of asking for physicians
