Some found it impos- sible to make the long- journey, either from the upper east side or the upper west side or from the lower east side, and some living in the Bronx found, of course, the same difficulty—a reason foi the establishment of a number of camps which would be readily accessible to the various crowded tenement sections. Some had duties at home which made more than a very occasional attend- ance impossible; they consequently never contracted the habit of coming—a reason for providing in connection with the camp for the home relief and home supervision of all those who attend. Quite a number, through one agency or another, found their wav to the country for the summer months and not a few through their association with the camp secured admission to Ray Brook or Otisville Sanatoria and were transferred there. A few suffered from seasickness on board the Southfield and pre- ferred to try the parks and roofs. The rest may be classified as those who for no apparent reason simply did not care to come. The camp was open Sundays as well as week days, and while the attendance was unusually small on those days, the number of Sundays as compared with the other days was so few, that it made no considerable difference in the average attendance. The aver- age attendance on Sundays was 24.4, the average attendance on week days was 41.9, the general average attendance was 39.4. Table II. Day Cam])—Results with 87 Patients for 20 Days or More.
