FRESH AIR SPELLS CAREER
Are You .Helping Mould Young Lives
mid Interested In Clinrnctcr
Itullding? Help Just a
Little.
Do you think you would regret
taking fresh air children when you
loam that during 1911 In Now York
V
' City alono 183 children were killed
j and 3S1 seriously wounded as the
result of helng run down iby trolley
cars, automobiles and wagons? That
cnililren were Kiueu anil iui injur
ed, while In June there was an in-
crease In fatal accidents over tnc
number for the same month In any
other year thus far recorded.
How do these children get caught?
Simply in letting out tho character
building Impulse to play, in doing
which it is ever necessary to dodge
the cop, the car and the automo
bile. You can help make the number
less by taking care of the little un
fortunate ones of the overcrowded
street for a fortnight. All expenses,
as to car fare, etc., is paid by the
Fresh Air Society of the New York
Tribune, tho only cost to you will
be their board during their stay with
you. Surely you will not consider
that.
Statistics show that 75 per cent,
of the successful men in all walks of
life in New York City grow up as
children in the country. This Is de
clared to be true despite tho fact
that only
Iation of
51 per cent, of the popu
the United States was
rural.
Rev. C. F. Reisner, D. D., pastor
of Grace Methodist Episcopal
church, New York City, recently
made a strong appeal for support of
tho Tribune's Fresh Air Fund's ac
tivities. Among other statements
made hy Itelsner stated:
"But with playgrounds we cannot
give the children all they want to
have." declared 'Dr. Ttelsner.
" Thousands of them ought to bo
sent of the city for a glimpse of tho
country. There are six hundred
thousand children of school age In
New York. Less than one-third of
them get a real summer outing.
How can tho wealthy enjoy seeing
their own children run about In glee
on the fresh grass when they re
member that thousands of God's
other 'lambs' are either dying or be
ing dwarfed in mind and soul for
the lack of such an outing? They
ought to give to every fresh air
fund until they miss the nioney.
"Thlrty-flve years ago," continued
Dr. Relsner, "this great need of
country air and associations was
realized 'by Wlllard 'Parsons, a
Presbyterian clergyman, and ho
started a movement which soon came
to be known as The Trlbuno Fresh
Air Fund. In tho course of its his
tory this organization has brought
the benefit of a country fortnight to
285,312 poor children. Some of
these are now, as a result of this
help, judges, ministers and public
men. Last year Tho Tribune's bene
ficiaries numbered nearly tei thous
and. This year It plans to provide
for twelve thousand of the poorest
little tads it can find.
"Can you find anything more re
liable, more effective and more
economical than this Tribune fund?
If so, employ It; If not, then send
it a donation at once. Tho excuse
of inability fits none. To say that
people do not need this help shows
one to bo absolutely and criminally
Ignorant that ?5 gives a child a
two weeks' outing.
"Finally," said Dr. Relsner, "we
dare not disregard tho appeal of
New York children. Wo cannot look
at their sweet young faces without
loving them. If we miss tho chance
and shut our eyes to tholr need wo
shall develop hearts like that or
Dives or old who could least In his
palace while a naked beggar starved
at his door."
The society has received this year
J2.327.40 from Interested friends,
which is contributed for tho chil
dren. Contributions, preferably by
check, express or money order,
should be addressed to The Trlbuno
Fresh Air 'Fund, The Tribune, Now
York City.
Thero Is a constantly growing
company of people in Now York,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connect!
cut, Vermont and "western 'Massa
chusetts who look for tho coming of
tho Fresh Air eeason as they do for
Christmas or tho Fourth of July, be-
causo it means for them and for tho

An editor at Warren, Pa., arranged
for a party of 120 boys and tho peo

OLD BOARD RE-ELECTED.
New School Lnw Makes it Hard for
Country Districts to Pay Oil
Debts.
The school board held a meeting
on Monday evening for the purpose
of reorganization. The old officers
were, re-elected a? follows: Fr.c
scnoeii, presiueni; a. m. i.eiue, sec
retary; and wm. J. Ward, treasurer.
Other business pertaining to the
schsol finances was discussed and
a report will be published later as
the tuition from, the various country
districts Is not yet all in.
The matter of putting in a com
mercial course of study in connec
tion with the 'High school course
was discussed but was not decided
upon definitely as the finances of
the school will not warrant that
move at this time but that the work
will bo taken up gradually Is cer
tain. Under the new school law
tho board Is not allowed to borrow
money for school purposes. The
board makes out the annual report
of school finances which Includes
tuition for pupils from the country
districts and this report cannot be
paid until this tuition has been paid
and sworn to. The law makes it
hard for the country districts, and
many of them are In the hole as a
result. There Is no money In the
treasury of somo and they are not
allowed to borrow money on their
appropriation, and as a result are
up against a wall, as far as getting
money is concerned. Tho law go
ng Into effect when It did, did not
glvo tho districts time to plan
ahead and this state of affairs will
in all probability bo remedied before
next spring.

Sunday's Game In Carbondale Wlt-
cssed by :t,,0() Funs Game Won
in Ninth Other Base Ball Notes
'In the second game of the series
Honesdale won over Carbondalo at
tho latter place on Sunday after
noon, when one of the largest
crowds for some seasons was there
to see the game. The game was lost
by Carbor.dale In the seventh and
ninth innings by their costly errors,
although they hit the ball hard
enough to win the game during the
other innings. "Doc" Whalen and
Burkett had the batting honors for
Carbondale. Whalen was In the
box for Carbondalo and Breiden
steln for Honesdale. Up to the
so''ith inning the Carbondale fel-
jw a stiuiuuu uuwu uuu uui uuu tuc
iJEre stood G. to 1 in Honesdalo's
aVor, but tn the same inning they
went at Breldenstein with a ven
geance and hammered his curves to
all parts of the field for six runs,
bringing up the score to 7 to G in
favor of Carbondale. It was a great
batting rally and the Carbondale
fans went wild. Neither side scored
in the eighth, but in the ninth Car
bondale went up in the air again
and Honesdale brought in three
more runs, making the score 7 to
9. With one down in the last half
Whalen made a long drive and it
looked as if there would be another
rally, but Fee and Neary who fol
lowed him were struck out. Some
snappy ball was played at the start,
Carbondalo having two double plays
and Honesdale one. Tho score:

Carbondale .000O01G0 0 7
Notes on tho Game.
Tho third game of the series Is to
be played In Carbondale, July 14
The fourth game will be played at
Honesdale on July 20.
"Sodds" Watkins, of Carbondale,
pitched for Jormyn in tho game
against Ilonesdalo at tbat place on
Saturday. Tho official scorer says
that Honesdale failed to got a hit
off Watkins and credits him with
fourteen strlke-outs. Watkins has
been pitching big ball for tho Coun
ty leaguers and under tno expert
onced coaching of MIko Walsh has
been developing Into one of the best
box men In tho county.
In "Doc" Whalen tho Carbondalo
fans declare that they have tho best
pitcher In this part of tho stato out
sldo of tho league. In speaking of
him Patrick Feo should not bo over
looked, for Pat has created a sensa
Hon in Lackawanna and Wayne
counties. Fee looks to Benny
Hessling, and Benny has been sizing
up catchers long enough to be able
to pick out tho real goods.
