SEND A KID TO CAMP
Vacation Trip Helps
To Save Delinquent

Henry was a full-fledged de-
linquent at 5.
That was his age when he was
sent to an industrial school for
boys by state authorities six
years ago.
No one is born knowing not
to steal. Henry's mother left
him to scrounge for himself. He
never knew fathers care, a
comfortable home or regular
food.
So Henry followed his own
code He stole bicycles, handbags,
even ladies shoes. He broke
other peoples property.
He spent three years in the
institution and in a foster home
in another city. Then the state
authorities notified local welfare
officers they had done all they
could for him. Henry wanted to
come back.
The local officials were hard
put to know what to do with
him, There had seldom been a
more maladiusted boy He was
hostile, couldn't get along with
children, couldn't get along III
school.
Then they thought of a foster
mother who had been extra
ordinarily successful in the care
of welfare wards. She had full
quota of children at the time
But when she heard about Henry
she wanted to see what she could
do for him
He has been in her home for
three years now The change
in him has been remarkable
From boy who never smiled
he has turned into a happy
child. He is doing well in school
Last year, the welfare authori-
ties tried a summer camp vaca-
ton for Henry. This was the
first excursion out of the foster
home where he had found
enough discipline to give him
security, but not an undue
amount of pressure and some
one genuinely fond of him.
Henry did we'll at camp. He
