Movie show
Al 7:30 all enjoyed a moving pic
ture show in the Main Chapel.
There were about 1000 present. Mr..
J. X. Bakerwho had otherwise CO.
operated with Mr.. Spence very gen.
erously, closed his theater for the
convention and all the movie lovers
Of Berea came to the Chapel. One
very humorous reel was given, after
which an exceedingly instructive
picture relating to pig club work
was shown. Then came the poul-
try raising, which was instructive
and educational. A reel showing the
main features of New York City was
an added feature. This was one OF
the best shows given in Berea late
ly and was greatly appreciated by
the visiting friends.
Saturday morning was spent in
visiting the College barn and stock
yard. From here visit was made
to J. X. Bakers farm near Berea
which is a model. Here Mr.. Baker
gave short address urging the boys
to remain on the farm.
At 1915 the last meeting was held
at the Band Stand. Mr.. Spence gave
an outline for a weed campaign TO
he waged in the fall. Each member
promised TO cooperate TO get every
pupil of his home school 10 pull one
weed each afternoon. With this
army pulling weeds, they will soon
disappear. Prof. Clark, Dean Of the
Vocational Department, gave an en-
thusiastic address and extended the
cordial welcome which every one
had already received.
Dinner was served at II 80. After
the dishes were cleared away, the
pent-up enthusiasm Of three days
burst out and spent itself in yelling
and cheering. Fifteen rains were
given for Mr.. Spence, the College
and the citizens of Berea, thru the
co-operation of whom the conven-
tion was made possible. Represent
at;ves Of various sections, out OF the
fulness Of their hearts, spoke words
Of appreciation and thanks. When
dinner was over, Mr.. Spence stood
at the door and gave each person a
hearty handshake and bade MIN
farewell. A.
There were las delegates to the
convention which lasted three days
All entertainment and lodging was
furnished free to every one. ms
was one of the greatest meetings
ever held in Berea and greater
things must come from it,. The CO.
oneration of the citizens and OF the
College was remarkable and made the
convention all the more successiui.
The demonstration work under the
leadership of Mr.. Spence is produc-
ing great results in the surrounding
country.
This united conventional clubs
was the first of its kind in the state
and great credit is due to Mr.. spence
and his assistants for bringing it TO
mass. Every delegate received great
benefit and will long remember the
convention. One Of the remarkable
things about the whole affair was
the absolute trust which our neigh
bors placed in Mr.. Spence in sending
their children to visit him and be III
his care. His large circle OF friends
is constantly increasing.
Visiting speakers who added 10
the success of the occasion were
Mrs. Goddard, Home Demonstration
Agent, OF Mercer County; Miss Laura
Spence, who holds the same posi-
ton in Jackson County; Mr.. Chaplin,
State Poultry Club Agent; Mr.. ker-
cher, State Pig Club Agent; and Miss
