cles and ways that they could i'm
prove the kitchen, which he called
the factory of the home, and aid
mother so that she would not have so
much drudgery. l noticed that the
boys and girls were following every
suggestion and taking notes on every
thing he said, and many boy and
girl are going to help mother more
from now on, because they did not
realize before what lot she has to
do, and how little things count.
The class program is taken care of
by the extension department, but Is
in cooperation with the Chautauqua.
Domestic Science in Camp Kitchen.
In the girls camp, a good deal OF
work is done by the girls, and domes,
tic science is taught with practice
right in the camp kitchen. The girls
work in squads under able instructors
who have charge of the work.
Field Trips
The boys of the camp were given
two field trips, one to the Barnes
county fair, where they were given
a chance to judge cattle and look
over the exhibits of the fair. The
second field trip was to Frank San
ford's farm where the boys were en-
tertained all day. Mr.. Sanford, who
has made a great success of farming,
told the boys of his experiences, and
showed them why he had to give up
wheat farming to go into live stock
and diversity. A big lunch was given
the boys here, and much credit is due
to Mr.. and Mrs. Sanford in handling
the big crowd in such a fine manner.
While the boys were at the San
ford farm, the girls were taken via
motor boat up the river about three
miles to see remodeled dairy farm.
Mr.. Greenwood had charge of the
trip, and went over every feature of
the dairy with them.
Chautauqua in General
The Chautauqua at Valley City is
much different than the general Chau-
tauqua throughout the United States,
because it is not based upon vaude-
vile, not upon a lyceum course, but
upon permanent educational features.
1t is not an entertainment just for
those people who live in Valley City
but is a Farmers Chautauqua for
farmers of all the surrounding coun-
ties. Mr.. Karr, the secretary and
stated that the largest per-
centage of the campers on the ground
were farmers they come and stay the
entire two weeks. Some of them have
boys or girls in the camp, and many
of the farmers families attend the
lectures and demonstrations that are
given for the boys and girls.
Much of the money to meet the ex-
pense of the Chautauqua is received
by endowment from people in this
community, two farmers having sub.
scribed $1,000 apiece. Farmers who
have boys or girls in camp never fail
to give something and the entire COM
munity is enthusiastic over the work.
Prof. o. II. Benson's Opinion
The boys and girls camp attracted
Prof. o. H. Benson Of Washington,
D. c., who has charge Of the Boys
and Girls Industrial Clubs throughout
the country. He travelled $500 miles
to be present to speak to these par
ticular boys and girls at Valley City,
Prof. Benson is quoted as follows:
when visited your Chautauqua a
year ago and saw the work of the boys
camp on the one side Of the grounds,
and that Of the girls, camp on the 9TH
