WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 1921 rEan 4 '3 --. - ------ GREAT AMERICAN BOY MADE AT ARDEN SHORE Mrs. Lillian C. Clark Tells What North Shore Camp Does For Gamins of the Tenement Districts . "DEAD GUYS" ARE REVIVED Under-nourished, Sickly and Frail Youths Converted Into Healthy, Alert Workers "Turning gamins into healthy, hap- py, normal American lads is our win- ter work' and the close of the second season of this effort shows a distinct gain in results." The speaker was Mrs. Lillian Craig Clark, director of nutritional work "at Arden Shore, who is one of the efficient and energetic staff at the Lake Bluff camp. "When these fourteen-year. old boys come to us from the tenement districts of Chicago they are not only under-nourished, sickly and frail but spiritually they are about as sub- normal as their physical condition indicates. "While many are 'dead guys', as their companions characterize them because they are inert. ambitionless, worn out mentally with the ceaseless struggle for existence among sur- roundings where only the fittest can survive, there are a number of 'tough guys' whose unquenched spirits have merely been misdirected and who are 'hard boiled', in their own jargon, simply because they have built this shell around themselves as a defense from cruelty, oppression and greed of their daily life. Human Sympathy Cure "Under the influence of care and warm human sympathy these apath- etic and rough boys are led step by step to realize that they are indi- viduals, self-respecting and with full social rights, instead of oppressed, robbed and cuffed by what they have hitherto thought their fate. "From being sullen, ugly, grouchy and distrustful they are so changed that. when they leave the camp restor- ed 'to physical normality their faces are bright, their shoulders squared and they look one directly in the eye. They are straightforward little Am- the work they are so anxious to start. "And, because of this physical re- storation and the accompanying spir- itual regeneration they get better jobs and they hold them better than they could ever have hoped to do without the camp training. A Case in Point "This week we are sending home a restored lad whose mother died last Christmas. Although she was only 35 there were ten children. The eldest. a brave girl of eighteen, has had the care of this brood almost alone for several months as the father has been in a hospital. James' help in that household is badly need- ed. He is fit to take his share of the family burden of ways and means. He 'is 'over the top' physically and his spirit is unconquerable. He will win. .ericans, self-possessed and fited for, | A sub-normal dullard is an optimist- ic, self-confident lad with his foot on the threshold of American busi- ness. "If millions are spent in this coun- try every year for the breeding, care and improvement of horses, cattle, hogs and dogs, how keen should be the interest among the people of the north shore in Arden Shore where humans receive valuable help." YOUR PAPER IS A CREAM SEPARATOR National Leader Advises Real Estate Firms To Engage in Consistent Newspaper Advertising Ogden A. Confer, writing in the Na- tional Real Estate Journal, which is published in Chicago, tells the real- tors something he told them at a re- cent Minneapolis convention, about business getters, and advises sales- men of essentials in their work to bhing success. This was significant: "Our activ- ties help build the community and improve the condition of the inhabit- ants. No other single factor has greater bearing on our service in this direction than advertising. Ten sales- men may get out into the street and talk home ownership to 500 persons in a day. But your advertisement in a newspaper can reach several hun- dred times that many readers. "Advertising is the cream separator of the real estate business. It delivers to you the live prospect, sorted out from the multitude of possibilities. You keep your organization busy on people who really want to buy or sell, instead of scattering your efforts in an indifferent field. "Advertise all you can and still handle property, to the satisfaction of your patrons all the business the ad- vertising brings in. "In your advertising do not hesitate to branch out into new channels mere- ly because nothing similar has been done before. Use your judgment and have faith in it. Advertising profi- ciency is only common sense. "You must establish as the corner- stone of your advertising structure confidence in your offerings. Inspire confidence to the extent that when a prospective customers reads an ad- vertisement of yours he will know that you honestly believe the value warrants the price quoted, and his faith in your ability and judgment will convince him that your valua- tion is correct."
