WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1900 ° ee ------------------------------------------ orth Shore Clubs =. yo h AY " z BE Jj RS. CHARLES H. THORNE, president of the Arden Shore association, recently received a letter from Edwin S. Davis, president of the Board of Education in Chicago, making an appeal that the Arden Shore Camp be kept open in Winter as well as in Summer. We all know full well, how extremely bene- ficial the summer camps have proven to the tired mothers and children from the poorer districts in Chicago, and so we will stop to think of this new appeal. The letter presents the situation so concisely that we are printing it herewith: "A serious problem confronts the Board of Education, and one which we believe your association could render a valuable service in solving. : Under the provisions of the excellent Tilinois Child Labor law, the Board of Education maintains in the school system a Certificate Bureau where boys and girls of fourteen years of age must apply for a certificate to permit them to secure positions until they are sixteen years of age. Many of these children are so physically handicapped and show such evident signs of undernourishment that it is impossible, under the provisions of the law, to give them their working certificates until they can be built up to a normal condition of health and vigor. These children come, of course, from the very poorest families in the city and even the small amount of wages these children can contribute to the family budget is desperately needed. In refusing the certificates no adequate solution is found because the child returns to ditions in physical environ- ment and home life which cre: wbility, These children are, however, the wo en of the future and economic necessity demands that they be s ife of product labor. Tf these boys especially could be taken to, Arden Sho np this winter and given from three to six months in the open air, with good care and ade- quate food, they would, we are confident, at the end of this time be able to help carry the family burdens and be saved permanently for a life of useful industry and citizenship. It is impossible for the Board of Education, under its legal limitations, to appropriate any money for food and clothing of iOr a ve these children, but the Board of Education would be very happy to co-operate with your organization in this work, and would provide | +h oe Lil ¢ and the educational equipment necessary for at Arden Shore. teaching forc these children during their stay Urging upon you most sincerely a serious consideration of this vital problem which must have a solution, and that shortly, if our children are to be saved for the future." Checks may be sent to Mrs. E. D.
