Will the mothers of the community
keep in mind that the nutrition class
for the undernourished school child
rem will need as many quarts of fruit,
vegetables and meat as can be spared

and then for this good work.
On Wednesday a splendid lecture
and demonstration on Proper Kinds
and Amounts Of Foods for little child
rem was given at the B. A. C. by Miss
Leigh. The Health Charts of the
children of the Nutrition Class were
on exhibit and many surprising facts
were shown. The food demonstration
showed very plainly which foods were
poisonous to children, which were
laxative in their nature, which were
good sweets for little children, ant
exactly how much food is necessary
for children of different age groups

Give the Boy a Chance.
1t is not enough to just give you,
boy or girl 8 months of school each
year, and quit at that. Give them
chance at the business at home To,
often John doesn't like the farm an,
it is up to you TO interest him.
The Boys and Girls club work is
move to interest the Boys and Girl
in the home work. 1t gives the boy
chance to outline piece of work an,
carry it through to its completion
There is the opportunity to reall
own a pig or calf and manage then
for themselves. To own, care for, an
manage an animal will do more TO
your child than to let him study it il
any other way. It will teach him t
be observant, to give attention to de
tails, to develop an initiative and a
executive ability, to say nothing y
the quality of mind that the world i
seeking and so willing to pay fol
namely, originality.
Club work gives thousands of IN
girls and boys in our country a whole
some employment and practical train
ing that they would never hav
gained in any other way. The interes
the child takes and the good obtaine
by the work depends largely on tn
attitude of the parents. Those VIII
minimize the value of the pig or ca
! forget the educational and soci;
! side of the club work. To you rs
father it is a small thing 20 buy pi
and keep it for three or four month
but did you ever slip to think ther
[ was first time for you as well, an
a have you forgotten the pleasure tn;
a comes with real ownership.
