STATE EXHIBIT OF
BOYS AND GIRLS WORK
VIII Be Held at Morgantcwn, at the
College of Agriculture Building

Extensive preparations are being
made for the annual exhibit of the
West Virginia Boys and Girls Club
Work, which will be held at Morgan
town, in the Agricultural building,
from January 4th to 9th, inclusive.
At this time there will be boys and
girls congregated there from all
counties in the state, who are being
sent there for the interest they have
taken during the year in the farm
work.
For the benefit of those who were
fortunate in getting the free trip and
in order to encourage others i'll the
good work, we publish in fall the cir
cular sent out by the Extension De-
partment of the University, which
gives the program for the entire stay
there and also some suggestions to
the prize winners.
The program and instructions fol-
low:
Announcement.
The purpose of this course is to give
boys and girls broad view Of the
benefits and pleasures that may be de-
rived from higher education and to
arouse interest and enthusiasm in
those things which stand for more eff
ficient earning and homemaking. EN-
phasis will be placed upon the great
necessity of securing skilled training
in order to be of greatest service to
the community, state and nation.
The benefits which the boys and
girls Of the Prize Winners Course will
derive from weeks stay at the Uni
versity are three fold: First, they viii
become acquainted with the Univer-
sity and find out what it has to offer
them in the way Of instruction and
development; second, they will come
in touch with some of the most promi-
nent men in West Virginia and will
be the gamers thereby; third, the
state agricultural exhibits and the Sc
ries of lectures and visits will open
the eyes of the boys and girls to the
possibilities of development along
agricultural lines.
Any boy or girl who has attended
the Prize Winners Course before, can
come again this year by bearing the
expenses of the trip, consisting of
railroad fare and board from Janu-
airy a to inclusive. All those sent
this year as prize winners will, of
course, have their expenses paid by
the counties sending them.
