The Tent Colony for Tuberculous Children was opened in Cleveland during the fall of 1907 through the co-operative efforts of several organizations which had felt for some years the extreme need of removing temporarily from their homes children who were probably suffering from tuberculosis of the lungs. [Illustration: CLEVELAND CAMP FOR TUBERCULOUS CHILDREN.] The Camp accommodated eight children during two months that fall and twenty during five months in 1908. The tents used are similar to those at the Ottawa (Illinois) Sanatorium and were judged large enough for two children each. Beside a nurse and assistant the Camp employs a cook and a laundress with the occasional help of a cleaning woman. In addition to the tents the equipment consists of three one-story summer buildings—one for laundry and store-room, one for kitchen and bathroom, and the third for children’s dining and wet-weather playroom, pantry and nurses’ dining room.

The days are made as regular as possible in point of baths, meals, rest-hours, lessons and play. Temperatures and weight charts are made up daily and diet or rest regulated accordingly under the direction of the physician on his weekly or semi-weekly visit.

Kitchen and laundry are fenced off from the rest of the grounds. The attendants eat in separate rooms from the children and from dishes kept separate from theirs. All utensils used by the patients are washed and sterilized in a pantry which belongs to them and the children are seated at table in such a manner as not directly to face one another. Their clothing and bedding is put immediately after use into water and washed separate from the attendants’ clothing. The children have gained surprisingly in appearance and weight and the medical examinations show in all cases, which prolong the treatment, similar results in the lungs. NEW HAMPSHIRE.
