BY BOYS AND GIRLS
From High School in Vir-

Washington

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. B.
Under the direction OF COmmis-
sioner OF Education Thomas, of the
Southern Commercial Congress, Of
washington, n club OF thirty boys
and girls OF the agricultural high
school, Of Driver, Nansemond
county, Va. will visit Washington
the frst week In September. The
club IS known as THE washington
Club" 1t was organized in order
that the work of the school session
in agriculture and home making
might he continued throughout the
vacation. Principal DeJarnette will
be in charge of the successful club
members during the trip. The
plan, while very simple. has been
very effective. Bach boy and girl,
under explicit instructions and care
full supervision is expected to earn
enough money to pay the expenses
of the trip. While this educa-
tive Journey is in the form of
prize, still it places the burden OF
and thrift upon the
individual student. one boy Is
growing potatoes. another corn one
girl Is making cakes, another salt
rising bread.
The club does not conane its edu-
catisnaL efforts to any one line OF
products, but a large variety OF
products are admitted; the boys,
WORKING generally in the agrieul-
tural field and the girls in the field
of domestic science and home
making. Nearly forty students are
of the club and it is al
ready certain that thirty of these
will by September have saved the
necessary funds during one vacation
to make a visit to the national cap
Itol. The educational value OF this
cannot be appreciated when vaca-
ton of this kind is contrasted with
one of idleness and expenditure.
