has become renowned as a positive

POOR CHILDREN GET OUTING
Many Chicago Children Kept at Powers
Lake by Charitable Institutions.

Few people are aware of the bright
ness Hull house of Chicago dispenses
to the poor children of that city. Hull
house was esta blished about fifteen
years ago by Miss Jane Adams and
Miss Starr. A penny has never been
solicited, and it has been kept up by
free will offerings. The number of
children sent out to the country each
summer depends upon the amount do
mated for that purpose.
There is one family of nine little
folks at Powers lake who are indebted
to the kindness of Mrs. Mccormick for
their three weeks outing. The child
dren are given drives around all Of the
beautiful roads, have the use of boats
on the lakes, and are furnished with
clothing, medical attendance and
everything is done to make life one
midsummer dream.
Miss Katharine Chase, director, and
Miss Thompson, head assistant of the
Hull house kindergarten, are particu-
larly interested in the children's out
ing.
The pupils for the ''Chicago School
for Crippled Children" are also taking
an outing at Powers lake: there are
about fifty of them besides trained
nurses. and matron of the institution
and attendants. A large frame build
ing containing dormitories, dining
room, and several small rooms for the
use of those in charge of the children
of both institutions. It is located right
on the shore of the lake and short
distance from the Ballas hotel.
Clutches, braces and other harness
used by the little unfortunates, do not
seem to deter them from swimming,
running, playing ball, and wrestling,
and they seem to have as good time
as their little comrades without these
handicaps in 1ife's race.
