CAMP PICTURES SHOWN
University Settlement Shows
Views to Neighborhood.
SUMMER WORK BEGINS
Activities Among the Boys and
Girls Clubs as Great
as Ever.

Telling the boys and girls OF the East
Side about camp life may convince them OF
ts delights. hut TO show them with stere-
opticon views makes the telling not merely
a Joy Of anticipation, but a very present
treat as we'll. The University Settlement
has adopted this means Of acquaintins It's
public with It's camps.
Looking down from an upper balcony OF
the Settlement the first time the pictures
W ere shown this summer the residents saw
a wonderful sight. Not so strange TO them,
perhaps, but a revelation to any one less
familiar with the neighborhood. As one
observer remarked, the air was thick with
people Children, and some grown-ups, too,
filled the street from curb to curb ana
swarmed over the sidewalks.
In less densely packed parts Of the crowd
where there was room for an interchange
OF pugilistic courtesies. a friendly fist fight
was not lacking. At times the view looked
like three-ring circus with wrestling
match in each ring.
There is a public school opposite the set
Element, and from the windows Of this a
sheet was being hung. As 1t was fastened
across a thrill went through the crowd. a
thrill that sounded like the applause from
peanut gallery. Later, when the sheet
unfolded and spread out the lookers-on
marvelled that one sheet could cause 50
much noise
4 sort Of half-hush fell over the street
while all the children waited to see stereop-
ticon views Of tho settlements summer
camps The half-hush soon wore out, and
business prospered again for the red fezzed
pedler on the corner who was making rec
ord breaking sales Of lemonade and Ice
cream cones
Somehow the stereoptiCon wouldn't work
a a stereopticon should Its light insisted
upon remaining below the sheet spread out
To receive II and later decided To rest
a while just little TO one side.
The delay only served to intensity the
interest Of the waiting audience, however.
