ton Of director of boys and girls club

organizer, but he likes boys and girls
and they like him. He wanted to give
them a new kind of chance to make a
new type of men and women of them
selves. Hence his adoption of boys and
girls club work as life work. Mr..
Benson is not only likeable but he is an
interesting speaker He wins the hearts
of older people with his simple optimism
and pleasing narrative of this great work
of the future.

county agent and farm bureau conference
in December, 1918, and has several o%her
times visited here in conference with

since to secure him as speaker for farm
