other extension workers mad charge
of the youngsters while they were in

suit of the experiment. The club

commended by all who were connect
ed with the course. The arrangements
for taking care Of them as to meals
at the college comOmns, sleeping quar-
ters in the college dormitOries and rec
reatiOn features could not have been
improved upon.
It was largely through the gener-
Osity of banks and trust companies
throughout the State in contributing
money to pay the expenses of most of
the club champions for the week that
the course was such a success. John
S. Rossell, president of the Security
Trust and Safe Deposit Company of
Wilmington, who is also president of
the Delaware State Bankers Associa-
ton, who was greatly interested and
active in making it a success, visited

and gave a talk before the future far
mers. He was given a royal welcome
by the boys and girls.

day the club members elected Stanley
Short of Smyrna, State Chairman of

Mr. Martin and others interested that
the club week will be a great boom
to the work for the coming year and
it will be carried out on larger scale {
than ever, if funds permit.

er Martin had talk with each boy and /
girl who attended and collected data

to attend college and that 3S, or "a /
per cent, plan to enter Delaware Col /
lege or the Women's College of Della /
ware; said they would go to Drexel,
