FOR CORN CLUBS
Superintendent Judd Writes
Wake County Teachers to
Organize Boys Into
Corn Clubs

The Boys Corn Club movement is
becoming a greatly discussed topic in
Wake county and numerous clubs
will no doubt be formed in the near
future.
Superintendent Judd writes h
Wake county teachers q strong aD-
peal to organize their school boys
into corn clubs. He feels tina the
school work should not be limited to
classroom. and that corn clubs Of
fer excellent opportunity to teach
direct. practical and useful training.
His interesting letter follows:
"To the Wake County Teachers:
We have realized only q small part
Of onr possibilities if we limit our
endeavors to the regular routine Of
been too limited. We must break
over the thin lines laid by the school
masters Of long ago. Dur present
school work makes little appeal to
some of u people; it does not ap-
peal to the full nature Of any Of them.
THE Boys Corn cub is one of the
sanest and most healthful forms of
school extension work. In Wake
county there are two thousand white
boys between the ages Of twelve and
eighteen. Every one Of these,
whether enrolled in the school or not,
should be a member OF the Wake
County Boys Corn Club. What will
you do to bring u pa full enrolment
from your district? Here is a won
derful opportunity for you to be help
full to your boys. Many who have
not beer interested in regular school
studies would become so through
this outside work.
Please read Mr.. Schaub's letter
carefully and note conditions OF mem
bership and list Of prizes. Boys over
eighteen years may join the club
but cannot contest for prizes.
Time is passing rapidly now, so
will you not begin work at once with
your boys? I would suggest that you
inform yourself as TO this work, get
everybody to talking about IT, set
aside some afternoon after the last
recess for a corn club rally. Invite
the parents. the children and all the
neighhors.
