WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 18, 1925 17 ARDEN SHORES HAVEN FOR BOYS Supervising Physician De- scribes Procedure to Bring Health to Undernourished CAMP EVERY WINTER Bring Out Working Boys Who Are Ailing Eprror's Note: Accompanying is the second of a series of special articles re- garding activities at Arden Shore, the rest camp for Chicago tenement people, maintained near Lake Bluff as the north shore's own charity. The Arden Shore association, which has chairmen and workers in each of the north shore wvil- lages, will soon make its annual solicita- tion for funds. There will be no cam- paign in Wilmette, since the Community Chest provides a quota for the associa- tion, but the other villages will be can- vassed within a few weeks. BY DR. C. BRANNICK (Supervising Physician, Arden Shore) The subject of nutrition has long been an important feature of social medicine, and the nutrition class is now a familiar adjunct of schools, dis- pensaries, and other social agencies. About six years ago the Arden Shore association began an interesting ex- periment to further this idea by open- Ing a winter nutrition camp for boys. It is open approximately eight months of the year. The boys are admitted on the recommendation of the Medical Examiner in the Vocational Guidance, and Certificate Bureau of the Chicago DS AND DUDS | Si | ow pine ------- That 18 Just, ' Where we shine!

LOOK FOR SUDS & DUDS QURMEN ; -t Board of Education. At this bureau, children who for economic reasons must leave school between the ages of 14 and 16, apply for a working cer- tificate. In accordance with the state laws, such certificate must be refused if, on examination, the child is found physcally unfit for work. Malnutri- tion is a frequent finding in these ex- aminations, and it is the more marked- ly malnourished of this group who ar- rive finally at the Nutrition camp. Adapt Selves Readily One of the many pleasant surprises encountered in working with the group is thé easy acceptance of the camp regime. The explanation lies partly, of course, in the psychology of group thinking and action: if everyone is doing it, it can't be so absurd, after all, for a boy of 15 to lie down for two hours in the middle of the day; and when the rest is taken in a bed which is practically in the open, the ab- surdity is still further lessened. But very largely the explanation lies in the fine spirit of the individual boy, who reasons that this is expected of him, therefore he must do it Once accepted, of course, the regime is actually enjoyed. Early ris- ing is easy when some 40 other boys are getting up at the same time and having a good deal of fun in the pro- cess. A generous breakfast is consid- ered the correct thing, so one must conform, though previously he may have been one of that great multitude who "never can eat breakfast." The morning school period passes quickly. since here the rigidity of the ordinary school discipline may be relaxed. and there are recess periods for recreation and mid-morning lunch. A half hour of play precedes the mid-day meal, a substantial dinner; another period for play follows and by this time the majority, if judged by the ease with which they fall asleep, are ready for the two hour rest period. They rise happily and therefore noisily to take the afternoon lunch of crack- ers and milk and to prepare for the main recreation period of their day. Offer Varied Sports This recreation may take almost any form--a long hike, a game of football or baseball, indoor games in the gymnasium; in the winter season skating, coasting and even skiing on a very moderate grade. The only exercise required of all is the morning setting-up exercises Where there is no contraindication. however, relatively vigorous exercisc in the open air is encouraged, the form and extent being left as much as possible to the choice and judgment of the individual boy. Children, as a rule, tend to "seek their own level" in the matter of exercise, and experi- ence has shown that there is a certain staying quality in the weight gain of the boy who exercises vigorously, that is lacking in the gain of the boy of more sedentary habit. This permission of choice in recrea- tion is part of the general policy of the camp to encourage the exercise ot self-authority and self decision in the individual boy. Accomplish Purpose Certain questions arise; "Does the camp accomplish its purpose " "Do the boys gain in weight?"

The record to date is held by a tall boy of heavy frame who gained 14 pounds in his first two weeks. Is it not an expensive form of nu- trition class? Relatively, no. These boys are learning the {fundamental rules of mental and physical health at the age most favorable for retaining impressions. Consciously or uncon- sciously, they are going to pass on much of what they learn. The work of the Camp reaches a much larger group than is represented in the hun- dred boys admitted each season.
