New-York tribune., 1902-12-08

The total number Of parties sent out requiring
escorts was 226. In some cases more than one
escort needed. because Of the size OF the
party These escorts were volunteers, serving
without compensation beyond their travelling
expenses. The Of a party of children a
train is small burden. In some cases the
children travelled all night and often the air
was far from cool. Children always want the
| windows open, and then there is usually the fear
| that of them will fall out or get cinders
in their eyes. One would Judge from the re-
quests for water that the children had been
saving their thirst for the trip. superaburd
ance OF water mixed with the miscellaneous al =
cles of food with which the children usually
provided by their mothers a parting gift,
combined with the unaccustomed motion of the
cars often produces results that are not alto
gether pleasant. The fund is glad OF this op-
portunity to publicly thank these escorts for
their services.
1t has already been mentioned that in some
respects this seasons work was the most salts
factory in its history. 1t sometime happens
that for some reason the child selected to go tn
the country in response to the invitation has not
been satisfactory, and the host has been dsap-
pointed in the child who has been sent. This
disappointment may be due a misunderstood
ing of the child's condition of life, either be-
cause Of the character of the clothing worn or
the tales which, very much like grown folks
they tell when away from home. There may be
| other reasons for the disappointment. Apparent
ly this year no one was disappointed. The chill
dren seemed to have enjoyed their outings, and
the hosts their guests This result was un-
doubtedly due in a large measure to the efficient
manner in which the missionaries who selected
the children co-operated with the fund. The
missionaries task is easy one. While others
are enjoying holidays in the country, they are
busy in the closely built parts of the city search
