ORGANIZED CAMPING

Those of us fathers and moth
ers who grew up in the good old
DAYS may well rub our eyes when
we see what is being done for
children in the better class camps
for boys and girls i'll this day. and
generation. Called by an educa-
tional authority Americas lead
ing contribution to the manage
ment of children, the camping
movement has become one of
the most important features IN
the life of the youngster who IS
so fortunate as to attend well
organized camp.
For every activity that heart
could desire or imagination con-
ceive is made available to the
camper. Not only the things OF
the great out-of- doors-t h S e
might perhaps be taken for
granted. But as well all sorts
of handwork, all varieties Of So
cial activities, sports, everything
that a parent could want for his
boy or girl.
Best of all, these things are
offered to the child, not forced
upon him. In the mbest-manag-
ed places, the old hard-and-fast
schedule has been done away
with: and the development of
hobbies has taken the place of
the forcible indoctrination of
things that elders think children
ought to know, that used to be
the order of the day.
If you can possibly send Your
boy or girl to Camp, do so. 1t
would be hard to conceive Of a
better investment f time and
money.
