Some Specific Values of Club Work

sympathize with the practical difficult
ties of everyday life. wins a permanent
place i'm the hearts of the patrons and
in the esteem of the community. Par
entail interest is prerequisite of good
attendance and good school work and
the history of the club work has been
to great extent the history of an ever
increasing interest of parents in the
work of pupil and school.
In Joining with the mother and house
/ wife, in teaching the girls the lessons
of household arts. in contributing to
the social satisfaction of country life,
directly and inirectly the boys and
girls club work gives promise of con-
tributing largely to the revolutionizins
of country life And what a cnance
for the school to render unto rural
womanhood that service so long needed
to remove drudgery and to offer not only
efficiency and joy in the country home
but a newer sort of freedom never yet
tried i'm the country home.
In preparing boys and girls to live
on the farms and to earn wealth; in in
creasing the total wealth of the COM
munity: i'm increasing the respect for
the school and an abiding love for it,,
Tthe school perpetuates the progressive
ness 'of the curriculum and the service
20 the community, thereby preparing
the way for successive improved meth
DDS and means of promoting the sue
cessful school.
The school values enumerated can be
obtained only when there is co-opera-
tion between all forces at work. Tt may
be assumed that school officials and
club workers will insure the interest
of parents. A large responsibility for
mutual cooperation rests upon the
teacher. the county superintendent and
the board member on the one hand ana
upon the supervisor of club work on the
other. That the values above mention
ed are durable and necessary values to
the school. the school official and teach
er will not deny. That the club work
must be organized i'm such a way as TO
promote the efficiency of tae school
will not be denied by the club worker.
And in view of the increasing oppor-
tunities and OF the increasing recogni-
tion of the Importance of such values.
the outlook for the future appears prac-
tically unlimited. The Georgia rural
school awaits a greater development of
its possibilities through these avenues
FEEDING WHEAT ATTACHED BY

We DO not think it will hurt to cut
your wheat and cure and handle it as
hay. If you intend to cut it YOU should
DO so at once. Rust of course is a very
common disease and often proves very
Injurious when IL attacks the cereals.
There are many kinds of rust but we
presume the common specie, Puccinia
gramminis, is the one which has at
tackled your wheat. Rust occurs prac-
tically all over the world and is most
abundant where grasses and cereals are
grown. II does millions of dollars
worth of damage annually. great
deal OF energy and effort has been de-
voted to the study of this disease with
the idea Of controlling It, While its life
history is well known. no practical
method of Graduating il has Vet been
developed save that of planting resistant
varieties. You are no doubt familiar
with the Rust Proof oats. which we now
grow with success, whereas this crop
was frequently attacked by rust and
destroyed a few years ago. Efforts are
now being made to develop rust resist
ant varieties of wheat.
