most sincere sympathy in the work which your as
ISOLATION is doing
do not know anything which will contribute
more to the strength and morality OF that genera
ton OF boys and girls compelled to remain part of the
urban population in this country than the nstitu-
tion IN their cities of Fairgrounds, where their
hours of leisure can be occupied by rational and
healthful exercise. The advantage is twOfOld.
In the first place fdleness and confinement IN a
narrow space in the city, IN houses and cellars and
unVentllated dark rooms is certain TO suggest and
brlng about pernicious occupation and create bad
habits Gambling. drinking and other forms Of
vice are promoted in such restricted mode of life
In the second place. opportunity for hard. ear

and patient effort.

ton to its people furnish TO the children. from
hood places within the city walls large enough and

be a success. and that the work which you have
begun may go on until no city in this country Is

gard would be without them.
