In all, only 6,874 of these young toilers, who earn on an average six dollars a week, are provided with vacation outings.

They are usually given vacations, with or without pay, but they spend the idle time at Coney Island, on excursion boats, or in the dance hall.
Of the 1,257 churches and synagogues of New York, only six report organized vacation work for girls and women.

Of the twenty or more large department stores, employing thousands of women, only three have vacation houses in the country.

Of the hundred or more social settlements in New York only fifteen provide summer homes.

There are several vacation societies which do good work with limited resources, but they are able to care for comparatively few.
