Eleven hundred and fifty seven women and children wer*1 entertained at a per capita excuse of $3.22 per week. Considering the table fur- nished the guests and the other things given, this is the best showing of any fresh-air camp in or about Chicago. Miss Amelia Sears, the very effi- cient superintendent of fresh air work of the United Charities of Chicago, gave a very impressive talk on the work of the camp from the point of view of the guests, and stated she found in a great many cases that the families looked forward to their week's outing the first half of the year. and enjoyed the retrospection the lat ter half. She stated that in most cases the week a outing is the only bright spot in the dull monotony of tene ment life. Treasurer Steven's report showed a slight balance on hand wh'ch will be used for the purchase of new tents next year. Have Slight Balance. Superintendent Scherer reports fliat the new equipment that probably will have to be purchased is a new assem bly tent, new kitchen teut, and also a new washing tent, with a set o£ tubs for laundr> work Misa McCleery s reb«.ii ui.„wc.i i**» proved sanitary .ouditic ua at the camp She aleo .Ueutioued ihe r..oic rigid radical inspection to .vhkn the guests were BuHknltted before (hey leave Ciiicagi Mr. Dunham <*„a l.i„ a.,.,, n.t -... to be cougrati.iatca u<u lh« ohi.it ;ter of the work carried on by ihia enter prise, and The Nt wa congratulates the various churjhej o Evanstou on this sane pLilanthrophy Superintendent'* H«pwi Tlie following is tne rep, George Scherer, ti»e superintended "During the eight weeks that Ca.^p Good Will wab open for the season of 1912, 1,157 mctners *nd children were entertained, an average of 144 5 6 per week. That the nuinbet was not even larger was due to the coolness of the Bummer, which made a smaller nam ber of persons seek outings Each week after the hrst the number asked for by the camp was 165 and thac num- ber could have been accommodated with little extra expense It is not too much to say, then, in the begin- ning of this report, that next year a minimum of 160 persons should be en- tertained each week, or a minimum of 1,280 for eight weeks, if the period be not extended. "By nationality the campers weie divided as follows; Irish, 267, Ger man, 240; Polish, 137; Swedish 86; Bohemian, 84; American, 76; Italian, 63; English. 22; and small numbers of Norwegian, French, Swiss, Hun garian and Dutch, in order as named. thirteen nationalities in all. They rep- resented 309 families. Of those whose religions were entered on their United Charities card,-693 were Cath oUe and 312 were Protestant The total number of 1,157 persons included 278 women, 400 boys and 479 girls. The average cost per person for the week's outing was the small sum of $3.16, or for actual running expenses, plenty of food for all, and entertain not including equipment, installation. 3e*e* ftlJS. are the figures and statis- report, so Car as figures can talk, these tnat the season was very BtafT feel it to have been. And it was a successful season not only because a large number of the city's poor were given a week's outing at a very small cost, but for a higher reason. It is worth $3,643.88, even though that amount involve no little sacrifice of timf and money on the part of those wh<' provide it, to show the people of the slums and poverty centers that life is not entirely the sordid and cbf-eiiesp grind they often think it is, thai trn wbo'e world is not banded against them, and that there are still friends to be found. The gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel of love and friendship. Jesus won the allegiance of bif followers by being a friend of each, and the appeal of a friend is to<iay the great appeal I believe that in nr>ny Godfearing homes in Chi- cago, among Chicago's poor, Camp 0<iod Wi'l stands as a demonstration in lif" o' the fr'^ndship of Christ, and thpit in many horoep the year is hr'gM'-r and hope Is a little stronger, as t) e poor struggling mother remem- ber" 'hose *5vRnston people who gave h*>r a week of happiness, when ft • an evex ' vbe*°raembered-once th'.....~~ ••-'<♦ And pleasures besides Success Due to Harmony. "Much of the success of the ramp and the enjoyment of ♦be work was undoubtedly due to the spirit of har- mony which prevailed among the workers. During the entire season the finest kind of esprit de corps ex- isted, each worker giving his best to the cause. The presence of Miss Mc Cleerv meant a prea' d^al, when the otbe' thr^e wckp'" 'n charge were new, an** nv,,re than once the camp proverb "In oa-*p of doubt ask the nurse," justified itself. The advance step this past season in providing a director of boys' work was very wise. Mr Fletcher never failed to win the hearts ofH.he boys, and we know that the 400 boys of Chicago who wer« in camp this summer will feel that the success of the cap from their stand- point was due to Mr. Fletcher's pres- ence. Mention must be made of the patience and consummate skill of Mrs. Gonzales and her assistant, Mrs. Handly, in the kitchen and her re- sourceful way of dealing with the mothers. And during the quiet hours of the night, when even boyish spirits were at rest, all the camp slept in peace, conscious mat Mr. Kreuger was txlwaya "ou the Job " And if a refer enco almost i>ersoi»-i ma/ be par- doned, the Bv.periiiteuaoflt woulu like to call attention to the admirable way in which Mrs Scherer, though al nost a. itiaiigt. in tx strange land peiformed hoi duties ao natron *'it la iiAipOttdlble to .., ..i* <"•.•"<• uiio uel4>ed to make tl a cam,* a ;oy to the cttmpeid. jVcn in a moat ganeial wai Withov.t tno di-ectoro there Could have be.j.» no camp, and what more could have been done by the office, a than wa» aone by theoe? Mr. Dunh&iu ana Mr Allen seldom let a day pas*, witnout a visit, or at least a telephone call The Public Service corporation of ^vauhton were ex- tremely ge..<srdus and courteous in their piovisions for the camp, as, in deed were all tne business m«n with whotn the ,;amp had any dealings. It is impossible to thank the ladies who afejisted at loo.j, and those who ar- ranged i he programs. The superin- tendent do^a feel, however, that a word oi special thanks is due to the ladies *ho so charmingly acquiesced in certain pi&nd suggested by the camp staff, for the good of the camp and campers, though that acquiescence in some instances involved the chang ing of plans already made, and fore- going what had been establishes cus- toms in seasons pa&i. Miss Louise B. Funkhouser and her assistants added greatly to the pleasures of the 'children and their mothers, too, by their daily kindeigarten exercises. Mr. Hewitt, agent for Judge Tolles, never failed to extend t.ie camp every favor in his power, und helped greatly with his suggestions and advice. "For the next season we believe* that plans should be pade to maintain , Qrtm WSt r*~ the camp for nine weeks. This could have been done this year, had not all felt that it would be wiser to close the year with a cash balance to apply towards the equipment needed for the new year.

More« - - - - - - - than 165 persons cannot be entertained on the present site of the camp, with any satisfaction to campers, staff orv neighbors.

A can- vas screen could be erected on at least two additional sides of the grounds, and the benefits conferred by doing this would be a sufficient return for the outlay. The staff nere united in feeling that one thing *hich would add very greatly to t>*e comfort of the campers, especial'? during a sea- son as wet ps 19^, *'* a tent large enough to he us«d by many persons, with a stove whvre wet feet and cloth- ing could be dried, ^nd younger chil- dren could be kept warm Whether this can he done next year or not is a question The possibility of securing a water heater which would burn wood or coal, and possibly garbage, instead of g * s, was also frequently discussed. The gas heater of the past year did not heat enough water for Kitchen and hath tents, although no hot ^ater was piped to the laundry tent if a heater of this sort could be Ft crod* it » ->»'d ho a gr^pt help 'n of»TT\p. Ha^e Many Plans The staff have considered several plans for a rearrangement of tents tor the greater convenience of all, but have at last decided that the present arrangement with the entrance on Central street, near Sherman, is the best, with a few minor changes. "The following is the equipment absolutely needed for the next season in addition to what has already been named as being extremely desirable. "One assembly tent, 50x35, center poles 15 feet apart, 20 side poles 6 feet high. "One kitchen tent, 26x22, side walls 5 or 6 feet high. One fly for lineri tent, 24x14. 'Two or four stationary wash tubs ioi the laundry.
