• For the first time in her life, Miss Eleanor Kamar is founding this summer a model private kindergarten on the ground floor of her home on Sadat Street in Ras Beirut, equipping it with the most modern equipment and play-things, indoors and in the garden.

Miss Eleanor Kamar has a his-tory rich in work with children.

She served in the government of Iraq and in Lebanon, and hers was the leading opinion, enjoying absolute confidence, in a number of founding projects for children, the most important of which was the kindergarten of the Lebanese Women's League, which she supervised for a number of years. It was thanks to this fine reputation she has won in refined Lebanese circles that parents have flocked to her new kindergarten, their hearts full of faith that their children will receive the most modern educational guidance and the best of care. We wish our friend Miss Eleanor Kamar every success and good fortune in her educational project, which is truly the finest seed for the rising generations...

The committee in charge has divided the camps into five successive periods, beginning on the second of July and ending on the twelfth of September, during which they welcome students and working women of various ages and backgrounds.

We call the attention of public opinion to the encouragement of such athletic and social move-ments, which accustom our girls to freedom and self-reliance, so as to form a personality that loves work and nature!...
