Extension Department.

Manhattan, Kan. Aug. 27.-The
K. s A. c., through its extension de-

tend its services through all the va
rious channels of demand. One of
these is the establishing of the Home
Economics club for girls or young wo-
men in smaller towns and villages and
even in the rural districts.
These clubs are destined to be sub
stitutes for the home economics train
ing in the public schools. Any COM
munity may have as many of these
clubs as they care to organize since
conditions governing them are easily
met. The clubs or classes must have
a regular time and place of meeting.
They must be in charge of some COM
petent leader. such as a school teach
er, a house keeper. or some mature
woman who has time to devote to the
work.
The only expense in connection with
the plan is that of mailing the report
