LIFE : Fresh Air Work and Pleasure HE serious side of Lire’s Fresh Air Fund will be found in the financial statement of its activities which appears on another page. Some idea of the pleasant side may be gained from the adjacent pictures. The deepest pleasure, in which Lrre’s always generous readers are participants, is the thought of the happiness and health given to the little poor children of New York’s tenements last summer and to be given, we hope, through many, many summers to come. Lire’s old-established Fresh Air Farm at Branchville, Conn., has kept up its regular summer hospitality to the children, and this has been increased by the activities of its new little brother at Pottersville, N. J. This latter, the gift of a generous friend of poor children, went through YOUNG LADY GUESTS A HORRIBLE ENCOUNTER its first complete summer without any more serious conse- quences than one case of diphtheria, promptly and success- fully dealt with, and one sprained elbow, To its readers who make this good work possible by their contributions and gifts, to the efficient helpers who cheerfully carry on their not easy tasks of caring for the children, and to the creators of Fresh Air Encowments, Lire extends this expression of sincere gratitude in behalf of the little ones to whom they have given happiness and a health-bringing holiday. New Endowments I" is a pleasure to record the following additions to the Fresh Air Endowments. It is not alone that these funds assure the permanency of the Fresh Air Work, which depends on the generosity of Lire’s readers for its year- to-year maintenance, but it is also agreeable to contem- plate the vista of these benefits going on in perpetuity long after all of us now alive shall have passed away. Every two hundred dollars contributed to establish one of these endowments is promptly and safely in- vested to produce the needed income to send one child to the country every summer for all time. The principal se- curities are then turned over to the trust fund, which is as closely safe- guarded as anything human can be. The donor of the funds to establish an endow- ment or endowments is en- titled to attach any name or names desired to the ever-liv- ing monuments thus created.
