The committee of judges for the

Exhibits winning prizes at the school
fair should be sent to the annual county

HozC to Keep up the Club Interest
The success of the rural school club
depends largely upon the cooperation of
the school teacher, county superintend-
ent of education, extension representa-
tive, and the club leader of the State
college of agriculture. Shortly after the
club is organized the teacher should sub
NIT the names of the members to the
county superintendent of education, who
can assist in furnishing the club with
literature directing them IN the work.
The teacher will find it advantageous to
have the extension representative make
talks before the school, as well as visit
the contestants home projects as he
makes his rounds from time to time.
The teacher should visit the homes of
all club members and, together with the
boys and girls and other members of
their families, go to the prize acres, etc.
and have the owners tell the methods of
preparing the soil, ferti1izing, and cult
waiting the crop. Such trip will suggest
much material for discussion at club
meetings and for regular class instruc-
ton in agriculture. There should be
local committee of three men and three
women who will encourage the children,
interest influential members of the COM
nunity in the club, and from time to
time inspect the work of the club.
SchooI-Exhibit Day.
To close the contest work of the boys
and girls, one day of the school year
should be set apart for the display Of
the club work The small exhibit in the
local school is of most value. but two or
more schools may combine in having
the exhibit. To make it a success, not
only the children but the parents must
be interested; the social element being
very important
If possible, a speaker should be Sc
cured who can talk interestingly on
agriculture When this is done there
should be forenoon program for the
speaker and one in the afternoon when
the children should take the prominent
place and show the results of their club
and home work. The best compositions
on the more interesting phases of the
work and on related subjects should be
read. Music should also be a part of
the program.
Contests in judging corn, breadmak-
ing, rope tying and seed-corn stringing
might be part of the program. A COM
petent person should be secured to judge
the exhibits prepared by the club mem
bers, making it feature of the day, the
announcement of the winners to be a
part of the program.
Dinner should be served at the school,
the menu to contain as many products
grown by the children as possible.
Decorated place cards for the dinner or
souvenirs of the day should be made
by the pupils, this being one real way
to teach decorative art.
The schoo1room should be appropriate
ly decorated, the work and products of
the club members being used as far as
possible for this purpose.
Prizes.
The matter of prizes is of considerable
importance. While the various contests
of the club members have for their
primary object the assistance of the
teacher and the public schools to find

work now being conducted by the United
States Department of Agriculture is the
aid given in the promotion and conduct
ing of boys and girls agricultural clubs
These clubs are being formed in rural
public schools in connection with the
courses in elementary and secondary
agriculture. The Office of Extension
Work in the Northern and Western
States maintains a section with leader
and assistants who give their entire time
to the organization and supervision of
the club work, IN cooperation with the
extension divisions of the agricultural
colleges in practically all of the States
The Office of Extension Work in the
South maintains a similar organization
and in addition has more than 400 coun-
ty women agents who give special atten-
ton to girls club work The State
leader in club work at the agricultural
college is usually the joint employee of
the department and the State college and
represents both institutions alike. Thus,
through the assistance of the State
leader the boys and girls are brought
into and become part of both the State
and national organizations for club
work
Club work, especially among the young
people, is receiving more and more at
provement of the social, educational and
financial conditions of farm life, and
clubs are being organized to work in
various ways toward the betterment of
some one or all of those conditions.
The plan of organization and scope of
outlined below apply particularly to
boys and girls agricultural clubs. They
are, however, suggestive of plans for the
formation of clubs to work along other
lines.
The teacher is, of course, the one to
determine whether the organization of
a school club is practical and desirable.
become familiar with the plans, prof ects,
rules, etc, of clubs, he should call a
meeting for organization of as many
boys and girls of the school district as
can be brought together. 1t would be
we'll to invite the patrons of the school
and have the extension representative
County agent) for the county give
talk on the agricultural club require
ments and work. If possible, the county
superintendent of education and the
State leader in charge of club work
should be present at this meeting and
aid in the organization work A simple
form of constitution and set of bylaws
of the club elected may include
supervisor, president, vice-president,
secretary, treasurer, and program COM
nittee.
Among the provisions of the bylaws
that may be adopted, the following are
suggested as desirable:
The members of the club shall agree
to read all reference literature bearing
upon the home project This may in
clude literature dealing with the grow
ing of corn, potatoes, tomatoes, chick
ems, pigs, etc.
"A written plan of the work of each
boy and girl must be prepared for the
teacher. They must do all the work
connected with the particular contest or
project entered upon.
The amount of yield by weight and
measurement of land and other results
of the spring and summer work must be
certified to by the contestant and at.
tested by at least two disinterested
