Fresh Air Fund

AMONG the numerous charitable institutes in New York City, that known as the "Fresh Air Fund" is worthy of notice. It is conducted by the New York Tribune, and up to July of this year, the sum received was $12,592.30. Of this amount, $11,555.45 has been spent in sending 4,929 children to the country. These children are sent to various points to people who will look after them for a period of two weeks; and usually this outing has a very beneficial effect both on the health and morals of the children. Some find permanent homes in this way. Those sent are from the very poor.
