New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1911-07-24

From tho Boletuno Della Sera.
That powerful journal The New YORK
Tribune has now for thirtv-four Years ey-
orted ts Influence and its energies in slip
port OF work emnenty useful and hu-
nanltarian. since 1871 many hundreds or
children from New York's poorest classes
nave been sent 10 the country for some
weeks during the period Of the hot weather.
This beautiful and noble work OF The
Tribune Us known in the metropolis under
the name II the Fresh Air Movement
For more than quarter of "a century the
work has met with the approval OF the
citizens year by year and has maintained
a firm hold upon their sympathies.
The great object Of both the founder or
the movement and the committee which has
continued MS work has been the same, al
though the work itself has expanded and
grOwu-tnar Is. 10 give 10 the poor little
children thar live and suffer in the tene-
ment houses an opportunity 10 leave their
unhealthful quarters in the city for a short
time and take ND their abode ID The country,
whore they may breathe the free, oxygen
laden air.
The guiding principle OF the supporters
OF tho work has been the old adage. An
ounce OF prevention is worth q pound or
cure" And since this nrOphylactic method
has its place In philanthropy az we'll as III
medicine. The NeW-EOrk Tribune has never
stopped in fits campaign. Instead II has
seen with no li,tle satisfaction ITS work
greatly increase wear by year.

and gratitude Of their families.
