Mrs. Polly has been working with children for some time in Midtown Churches Community From where does motivation spring? Well for Association sponsored programs. During the school Fontaine Polly it was a situation. It went like months she supervised a free breakfast program for undernourished elementary school children. this. Mrs. Polly was coming from her office at Midtown Churches Community Association, located on St. Paul Street, when she noticed a small boy, about nine years old, sitting on the curb, watching a bus take a group of youngsters to a summer day camp._ She approached the youngsters and asked why he was not going with the other kids. He turned, looked up at her and answered "I'm hyper·active." Each group of forty attends each camp site That started the ball rolling.

The main idea of the training was to show the counselors methods of making the campers feel like they are "somebody", give them a valuable self-concept which will break the failure pattern that a lot of them are developing in school and in their domestic life. Three of the youngsters in the camp have failed kindergarten, many others have failed in school repeatedly. The goal of the camp is not only to give these kids some summer fun, but to help them solve their problems at school and home. "The program isn't trying to change their environment, but trying to help them cope with it." said Father Frank Sullivan, a coordinator for the camp. Yet the couseling reaches into the homes of ma ny of the campers. A total of 120 children between the ages of 5 and 12, were admitted to the camp from the area surrounding Johns Hopkins Ho~pital, known as Hopkins Corridor? and the MUND commur:lity. .
