REPORT Club WORK.
Supt Hughes Closes Successful
Campaign for Schools.

To the Editor of The Times,
Twin Falls, Idaho.
Dear Sir
should like to make report to
you OF the weeks work l. have just
completed In your county organizing
the Boys and Girls clubs.
This work Is the National club
movement which Is being carried on
in Idaho. through the office Of educa-
ton with the University Of Idaho, and
the United States department of plant
industry cooperating Senator Brady
donated $4,000 to help begin the work
The clubs consist of the Potato, Corn,
Bread and Sewing clubs. Any one be-
tween the ages of ten and eighteen
years is eligible.
The county prize winners will be
brought to the State Fair when they
will contest for the state champion
ship prizes
My weeks work in Twin Falls coun-
ty was most successful. / found
County Superintendent Miss Noel one
OF the most wide awake and enthu-
siastic Of the county superintendent
She arranged an extensive schedule
and we went over the county by rail,
auto and team. In the five days I
made twenty-seven talks, reaching
most of the schools.
Miss Noel stood the long and rough
drives wonderfully WELL and through
her efforts we are expecting wonder
full results from your county.
The city superintendent welcomed
me SO warmly, and are deeply inter-
ested In organizing their pupils in the
club work. Foremost among them are
Superintendent Markell Of Buhl, SUI
perintendent Miller of HOLSTER, SUI
perintendent Dooley of Filler and Su-
perintendent Hale OF Kimberly.
We talked at Bull Monday after
noon, and on Tuesday night. Super
intendent Markell had caused large
crowd of patrons to assemble In the
high school auditorium The high
school band furnished some excellent
music. Then talked "clubs" for two
hours. Mr.. Markell and the Bull peo-
pie are very much interested in the
work.
found In Superintendent Miller of
Hollister, an old Kentucky friend. He
Is wide awake and his splendid boys
and girls have made me believe we
will get splendid things from Hollis
ter.
Superintendent Dooley of Filler
stopped all classes and had his school
assemble SO we could address them.
Up at the State University the Filler
students have made record for their
community, and from the atmosphere
of Superintendent Dooley's school,
their younger brothers and sisters bid
fair to follow their example.
At Kimberly lectured In the eve
ming at the spelling contest. Nearly
three hundred people were present
Miss Hale says that the Kimberly
school will be the prize winners. They
certainly bid fair to make hard
fight for 1t anyway.
Superintendent North of Hansen,
and Carlton of Maroa are very active
in pushing this work They have
splendid schools and their pupils re-
fleet their interest and ability.
/ do not know of county that has
more wonderful resources, more won
derful scenery, more wide awake and
intellectual people and more bright
school children than Twin Falls coun-
ty. With Miss Noel as county super
intendent, and such men and women
as district superintendent as those
named, there is no reason why your
county cannot be foremost in educa-
tional work. / will be always glad to
visit your county and to do anything
in my power to further the work.
Signed ]. A. HUGHES,
State Club Supervisor.
