to Garry the Work Through
September.
ENDORSED BY PHYSICIANS
GREATLY IN NEED OF FUNDS

Physicians who have visited Camp Good
and most picturesque locations In the north
ern end OF Rock Creek Park, where puny
children have summer outings. have stated
that the results of the movement for dis
pensing the benefits OF fresh air, the fields
and woods together with good wholesome
food, are far greater than even those who
have contributed to make the camp a sue
cess have believed. Those whose practice
leads them to know the conditions existing
in the poorest sections of the city declare
that vacation OF two weeks in many cases
so strengthens the child as to permit it to
ward off diseases that prevail in the hot
weather as we'll as the diseases that result
from cramped quarters and deficient nutri-
ton.
During the present summer number OF
physicians gave voluntary service at the
camp, one each week, during which time
each agreed in his turn to be at the camp
daily and to respond to telephone call in
case of an emergency. These physicians
have faithfully attended to their self-as-
sumed trusts and In several instances their
observation has led them TO believe that

added strength that has come from a romp

summer complaints incident to the heated
term from which children have suffered,
with the danger that they might increase
to an alarming degree have disappeared
within twenty-four hours after the arrival
of the little ones at Camp Good VIII. There
have been many cases in which "prlckly
heat" so annoying a to destroy children's
rest at night to make their days time Of
torment and lower their physical tone, has
disappeared shortly after their arrival at
the camp not to be heard of again during
their stay there.
physicians are familiar with during the
heated period vanish in a similar way
But not only are these diseases conquered
by means OF a simple vacation, but In the
opinion OF the physician who has been In
charge of the camp during the present
week the effect of the fresh air has done
much to ward off tuberculosis. the contrac-
ton of which is generally preceded by
weakened physical condition which renders
the system susceptible to the germ of the
great white plague when otherwise 1t would
be resisted.
In view of this effect OF the camp In
raising the average health and mortality
the question has arisen among physicians
who have taken a deep interest in the work
whether the cost of the camp Is not largely
offset by a saving in institutions where
childrens diseases are treated at public ex~
pense.
At the present time those who have the
direct responsibility for the maintenance of
the camp are met not only with the neces-
sity of raising money to continue it with
the present number OF at least 100 children,
but also by the desirability of securing
clothing that they may use for children
whose arrival is not accompanied by an
adequate supply of garments. AS a rule
the parents of little boys and girls selected
by the agents of the Associated Charities
for a period of vacation at Camp Good
VIII make strong effort TO send them
on looking as well as possible. But there

upon that sort of food to supply their
tables as long as their money lasts, partly
because of the purchase of it saves labor
and partly because of their inability to
cook anything In a palatable way.
Such conditions have demonstrated ways
in which these outings might be made even
more beneficial than they are at the present
time by instruction to the mothers of the
manner in which they should endeavor to
care for their young children, but the
entire resources of the camp have been
needed in order to extend to the children
and the neediest of the mothers the plain
benefits of the country air and the good
food with which they are provided. AS
the season wears and the torrid days
of August are ushered In the managers
OF the camp are face TO face with the ne
cessity for more money in order to keep
the camp up with its hundred little chill
dren and its score of mothers.
Difficulty in Procuring Money.
Mr. John Jsy Edison has experienced more
difficulty in getting money to keep the
work going, because so many of the peo-
pie who are inclined to respond to de-
mands of that kind are themselves out of
the city and beyond The reach of local ap-
peals for aid. But somehow from time to
time the necessary money is received, gen.
orally in small sums, which he regards as
really more desirable than If the support
Of the work came from a few rich men.
1t Is generally known that IS will keep
child at the camp for ten days and
many persons have had the satisfa otion of
experimenting their own vacations by civ
ing vaction to child who otherwise
would not be able TO get Il.
The idea that the camp will accomplish
just so much whether responses for as
sistance are general or restricted, is shown
to be erroneous, because the work of the
camp is enlarged or restricted exactly In
proportion to the amount of money that is
received. This year the camp may be
closed as early as September l. but 1t can
sary funds are obtainable. What is done

doping of children is equaled by the ideas
of many of the mothers in the general
feeding and care of their offspring. Very
generally they are inclined to give an In
FAINT but few months old the kind of food
that makes cold chills run up the backs OF
those who have a proper idea of the caring
for the young. In many ways their conduct
shows they lack knowledge of the COM
nonsense ideas of living quite as much as
they lack the substantials of life, SO that IL
many of them were given independent In
comes for the care Of themselves and their
children the first thing they would have to
learn in order to be benefited would be the
art of proper living.
But while the ignorance of many who
come to the camp is made manifest, that
fact is only regarded as another reason
why better-informed persons should extend
a helping hand to the children, who are
the real sufferers from such ignorance
Many of the mothers go away with de-
termination to do a little better in provid-
ing for their children.
Example of Good Cooking.
They have an opportunity to see the cook

could be cooked In more Clearly or whole

camp. What Is needed is summer clothing
for boys and girls. from the tiniest infant
to those twelve years of age.
Cause and Effect
1t is the ability of the camp managers
to supply many of the child guests with
clothing which results in having as good
an appearance made as is the case at the
present time; 1t is the fact that the chill
dren are well cared for, even to the matter
of clothing, that causes them to have the

real meaning of the camp life In It's many
aspects more than does the separation OF

to become one of the memories to be err
ried from the camp 10 the narrow no ne
life within the city. But the child's asso-
citation with her friend meant much to her.
and those who have studied child life there
and elsewhere believe that one OF the
great benefits of the camp will come
through just such associations that give
the little ones mind vision of the world
outside Its own environment that makes
for broader development of character
In the coming years.
Benefits Mothers Also.
In many ways those who manage the
camp believe that the advantages of q
sojourn there can be of benefit to both
children and their mothers, and the work
of the institution is guided with a view of
making these benefits as great as possible
The mothers of some of the children, it is
believed, will leave the camp with better
Ideas about taking care of them. One of
the most baleful practices that many of
these mothers have been shown to indulge
In in order to quiet their infants is in re-
sorting to all sorts of cheap soothing
syrups and dosing their babies whenever
they hear a whisper. The little dear
gets a dose of some sort of dope and of
1t goes to sleep, much to the satisfaction
OF the mother, who saves her own nerves
and ignorantiy believes she has done her
baby good turn. To such an extent have
babes and tots been dosed in this manner
by some of the ignorant mothers that they
are constantly In a state of stupor, In the
course of time resulting In stupidity, which
gives little hope for their education when
they are old enough to go to school.
Soothing Syrups Banished.
But soothing syrup is tabooed at the
camp Some of the children have become
SO accustomed to It that they are inclined
to be hysterical, but little crying spell
does not hurt them, and wholesome food

leave the camp in much better condition
than that in which they were received.
