We spend the day working, eating, swimming and whatever t<:>ther activity seen1s suitable. People at home for the sutnmer are having good times that people away in the country are not having. For example, vacationers in the country can see no good baseball gan1es, can hear no really go,o d music, can see no worthwhile plays, usually sleep in poor beds, are often annoyed by bugs and other small animals. So don't envy too much those who are not at ho~ for the summer. The distribution of flowers to the sick and needy of Chicago is a fine work.

Sleeping in the open air with only such protection from the weather as is necessary, eating under the same conditions, working and playing next to nature·all. this is good for young people. The regular daily progran1 of the north shore girls who went to the various camping places, is calculated to produce healthy bodies and n1inds. A mere reading .o f the progran1 is interesting and suggestive: Setting-up exercises, tnorning dip in lake. flag raising. breakfast, putting tents in order for inspection, discussion, noon tneal, making of Yarious things, rest period, hikes or games in afternoon, supper, meeting around the camp fire.
