" for the child, giving the boy
a and girl q respite from pa
4 n rental authority and home-life
routine, comes from the understanding
heart of Ernest Martin Hopkins, pres
ident Of Dartmouth College.
Adults should not overlook" he
writes, "the great desirability Of vaca-
ton days for children that are as at
tractive as the long-anticipated vaca-
ton Is for those who are older. Tho
boys or girls camp is very apt to pro-
vide much that parents, no matter
how solicitous, cannot give their chill
dren."
There IS another great factor be-
hind the camp life theory, according
to the educator, who adds:
zone might mention the advantage
Of having your boy or girl receive di-
rection in mental and physical activity
from experts during the Summer
months, or stress the fact that chill
dren Of camp age need a change from
the routine school work.
What the boy or girl may learn in
recitation and study halls Is Of inn
portance; what he or she may acquire
in the way Of mental stimulation or
physical upbuilding during the period
of Summer Is likewise of value; but
the broadening effect Of association
with others of the same age, from
different parts of the country and
from different environments, is Of
major Importance. Colleges recognize
this to be fact. The value Of such
contacts may be even greater at the
camp age"
