Champion Gamers of Boys and
Girls Clubs Storing Up Trouble
For Those of Next Generation

The completely care free child
hood which has been a source of such
great worry to the educators Of the
last twenty-five years, is passing
and in its place is coming childhood
so efficient and capable that the per-
son Of just average ability shrinks
humbly before it.
The boys and girls club work, a
most valuable feature of the extern
sion work of the Agricultural college,
is one phase of the new responsible
ties which childhood is assuming in
these years Of the great war. What
becomes Of the educational value OF
hauling and bring in necessary wood,
Of bringing the cows home from pas
ture and possibly milking one or two,
Of taking care Of the babies and max

rushed their sewing on the machine
what does all this boot the genera
ton that is gone, in comparison with
the efficient child of today who sells
Liberty Bonds, who nags the neigh
bors into buying Thrift Stamps, who
collects salvage for the Red Cross,
who, becomes a responsible agent Of
that same organization, who puts
up" fruits and vegetables far better
than moher ever did, for the product
of the Boys and Girls clubs of the
era is warranted never to ferment.
North Dakota has As teams Of ear

are Stark, ISidder, Sargent, Dickey,
Hettinger, Adams, Grand Forks and
the city Of Fargo. In all Of the coun-
ties named, contests have been held
and the best team selected. The win

the rating made at the state fair.
From these score cards the champion
team of the state will be selected to

No Home Study
Plan AdObted

The plan OF supervised study will
be followed this year in the high
and junior high schools OF Fargo,
Arthur Deamer, superintendent Of
schools, has made a study Of the
plan as it has worked out in other
cities and has decided in it's favor
because of the results achieved in
other places. There is less home
study, the grade of scholarship is
raised and more pupils are success
full as a result OF this system. Under
the plan lessons are prepared in
school under supervision of teach
ers, thus making such long hours of
home work unnecessary.

to the qualifications made by the

the real work of the peace con.

the war. His immediate objective
is the rout or destruction OF the
German armies holding a stretch
of more than 200 miles of battle

front of France. 1t is from this
menace that the Germans are
seeking to escape in the great re.
