Everyone is interested in Arden Shore camp which is now enjoying the most successful period of the most flourishing year. The camp originally planned to provide for [unclear] needy children girls and boys, babies and mothers at a time, have taken care of more than that number at every period during the summer. A total of more than 1600 have enjoyed the camp during the last few months.
This is the sixteenth year the camp has been conducted by [damaged] Arden shore Association. It began [damaged] 1900 as an outgrowth of the Gads [damaged] Hill Settlement, which in that year [damaged] established a fresh air camp at Glencoe[damaged]. In 1906 the camp boradened to [damaged] include a Red Cross [unclear] for guests [damaged] disposed [predisposed?] to tuberculosis. It is said the results of this camp inspired the late Theodore Sands to establishe the Ed Sands Tuberculosis Sanitorium at Naperville. The following year the present camp site of twenty-three acres, with a beach frontage of 350 feet, was bought.
A few days ago there were 514 [unlcear] guests in camp. Eighty of these were mothers, one of them a girl mother with a [unclear] week-old baby. The others were boys and girls of all ages and sizes, including twenty in the "baby fold" and under two years old.The largest possible liberty of the woods and beach is given all the guests, and to promote their enjoyment there are daily swimming lessons, dancing classes, kindergarten exercises an sewing lessons. A musical entertainment is given by northshore talent once a week and some sort of dramatic or other entertainment every two weeks. On Sunday there assembles probably the most cosmopolitan Sunday school in the country. In the afternoon a regular vesper service is held. Eighteen thousand dollars a year is required to conduct the camp. At present the Arden Shore Association treasury lacks several thousand dollars of having enough to finish the year.
