Arden Shore takes these children, the girls in summer and the boys in winter, and scientifically builds them up by good food, rest and fresh air until they are fit to go into industry. The boys have three hours a day of regular school work and manual training under two teachers supplied by the Chicago Board of Education. About 100 boys are built up every year at the winter camp and some 35 girls every summer. In every case earnest effort is made to have the child return wo school but if this is not success- ful and he is forced to go to work he at least goes with no physical handi- cap and with a fair chance to make good. New Grasp on Life By frequent association with friends of the north shore who are interested in their welfare the children gain a new feeling of respect and confidence in their future employers and they go to work knowing that they will be given fair play if they do their part well They go into the factories and offices of the city and in a majority of cases they have won the commendation of those over them and have been steadily ad- vanced in responsibility and wages. It is a source of great satisfaction to those in charge of the camp that ire- quently a business man of Chicago will call up and ask for an Arden Shore boy. The loyalty of these boys to Arden Shore is shown by the fact that they are paying for a building at the camp which is used for manual training and as a club room for the old boys when they have their reunions. The nutrition work, as well as all other work undertaken by Arden Shore, is strictly non-sectarian both in the benefits bestowed and in the sources from which income is derived. Arden Shore is supported by popu- lar subscription from its many friends and practically no money is spent in collecting funds so that all contribu- tions go directly to the maintenance of the camp. There are no paid workers aside from the regular staff of welfare workers and teachers employed at the camp. All who are interested in this won- derful work at Arden Shore are cor- dially invited to visit the camp, the entrance to which is on Sheridan road a short distance north of Lake Bluff. Arden Shore gives: To mothers--rest and relaxation for the tired body, cheer for the despondent mind, freedom from care, a change of scene. To babies--the trained and intelligent care which they do not receive at home and which gives them a start on the road to healthy, happy childhood. To convalescent children--a place to grow strong and well after the weary hospital days--the care they need to complete their cure. To undernourished children-- good health, right standards of living, self- respect, the power to work, the ability to care for others. To all who come--fresh air, whole- some living, nutritious food, the de- light of bathing in Lake Michigan, the blessed privilege of living in God's out- of-doors. Mrs. R. E. Dooman of 1086 Spruce street returned Tuesday from Miami Beach, where she had been since early in February. Her three children, whe had been with her, returned two weeks ago. ERT Mrs. William H.
