THREE HUNDRED TO
ATTEND SHORT COURSE
Eleven Counties Represented in
School of Agriculture Gradual
ing Glass

The annual Boys and Girls Club
Week at the West Central School of
Agriculture will be held on April 6,
and 8. Boys and girls will arrive
from all over the district on April
5th and return to their homes April
9Th and 9th. Superintendent P. e.
Miller states that the advance reg
istration indicates an enrolment of
at least 800 boys and girls for this
course. The only limitation will be
the ability of the school to care for
the young people who are planning
on being present. The entire short
course will be given over to study of
boys and girls club projects. The
staff will include the faculty of the
School of Agriculture, and assistants
who are specialists in Boys and
Girls Club Work from the University
and also from the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. State Leader of
Boys and Girls Club Work, T. A.
Erickson; Poultry Specialist, N. A.
Chapman; Dairy Specialist, A. J. Nc
Guire; Assistant State Club Leaders,
Mrs. Margaret Baker, Miss Albertha
Gustafson and Mrs. Cleland, will
make up the party from st. Paul who
will assist in the work. Assistant
State Leader, r. H. Giberson located
at the West Central School of Agri-
culture is in charge of the arrange
ments for the short course and has
outlined a very excellent program for
the boys and girls.
The boys work will consist of DEM
Onstrations and judging of corn, pigs
and calves. This work is especially
designed for boys who are enrolled
in these club projects. The girls will
take work in breadbaking, sewing,
cake making, cleaning of clothing, re-
novating and dyeing. Both boys and
girls will be given poultry work and
gardening.
The evening programs will be CIV
en- over to entertainment and amuse-
ment. During the week there will
be several contests including corn
judging, stock judging, bread baking
and canning. The winners of these
contests will all be given free trips
to the 1920 Minnesota State Fair.
It is hoped that boys and girls
from Stevens county will enroll in
large numbers for this short course.
The only charge made is $3.50 which
will cover all expenses including
board and room. Parents should
write to the school saying that their
young people will attend in order
that rooms may be reserved for
them. Approximately 1000 boys and
girls did club work last year and 1t
is hoped that at least one-third of
these will attend the short course as
it is the training ground where ex-
pert boys and girls club workers are
made.
