more than a million members. Of
course this new life has not reached all.
1t has scarcely extended down to the
children to improve their school and
give them opportunities which in the
twentieth century they must have.
Child life in the country is often dull
and hopeless. Nearly everything con-
spires to drive young persons city
ward What can be done to make their
environment so attentive that it will
hold them? The dominating note
should be not "How can | get away
from school and home, but "How can
| make conditions such that [ shall be
glad to stay. How can country boys
and girls be kept in perfect content
ment at home. The more that can be
kept there the better for the country.
We feel sure the helplessness and life
lessness of the school can be both done
away with when coupled with the fore
es of the home. Hence we have Or
ganized Club called the Attention
Improvement Club" to hold in this
school house meetings, whose object is
improving and making better our con-
ditions. Here we are on common
ground drawn together by a common
concern, the hand touch and the heart
touch, showing brother hood.
The gatherings have in them no one
seeking to uplift the other, but all
working to in every way to improve our
neighborhood and to teach our girls the
conserving of energy as the conserving
of MANY products that have in times
gone by gone to waste. Miss Lillian
Hennaman, the County Agent was the
organizer of our Club.
