Asks Funds to Enlarge Home.
Three weeks ago communication
in magazine called attention to the
work that was being done at the Sea
Breeze Home, and urging an investiga-
ton OF the work by philanthropic per-
sons SO that instead of helping only
the forty or fifty children that could
be accommodated at the home, some-
thing could be done for the four or
five thousand poor children Of the city
who are suffering from surgical tu-
berculosis. A fund was started, and
1t Is hoped 100000 will be secured this
summer.
One Of the conditions on which the
President agreed to visit the hospital
was that there should be no reception.
that no announcement should be made
in the papers and that he could coma
as plain American citizen instead
Of the President. This was agreed to.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roosevelt arrived at
the Atlantic Yacht club at noon on the
Sylph coming from Oyster Bav. and
were received by Jacob Riis, Miss Riis
and r. Fulton Cutting, the president of
the association. Automobiles were
provided and the party went at once
to the Sea Breeze Home.
Leads Children in Song.
When the President and party reach
ed the hospital the children were ex-
ercising their lungs by singing Tam
many" This brought a laugh from
the visitors. After a cheer from the
youngsters. they started America"
and the President. with one of his
characteristic movements, swung his
slouch hat as he cheered them on.
