MANY BOYSAND GIRLS
ATTEND SHORT COURSE
LARGEST ENROLMENT AT UNIVERSITY
OF DELAWARE SINCE The COURSE
HAS BEEN STARTED.
NEARLY 100 MEMBERS
OF CLUBS FROM ALL THREE COUNTIES
ATTEND THIS VERY IMPORTANT
ANNUAL EVENT.

/ The importance of the Boys and
Girls Club work in the rural sections
of Delaware and the keen interest
that is being taken in it was clearly
demonstrated last week when nearly
one hundred members attended the
fourth annual Junior Short Course at
the University of Delaware, Newark.
This was the largest enrolment since
the annual short course or club week
was started and the young visitors
spent a delightful week. They were
in Newark from Tuesday Nptil Satur-
day.
State Club Leader, A. D. Cobb, who
had charge of the program at Newark,
was greatly pleased with the progress
that the club members are making
and the interest they are taking in
the work. He was assisted in the
conduct of the course by Miss Kath-
ryn e. Woods, Home Demonstration
Agent and Misses Agnes P. Medill,
Helen L. COmstOck and Dorothy EN-
erson, county club leaders for New
Castle, Kent and Sussex counties, re-
spectively.
A busy program was put through
for the club members. Many more
girls attended than boys and they re-
ceived instructions in canning, pre-
serving, sewing, etc. The boys spent
much of their time in field work at the
Experiment Farm.
The visitors were given a cordial
welcome by the University officials.
They had sleeping quarters in one of
the dormitOries and got their meals
at the Commons. While there was
plenty of work there were also So
cial features and recreation periods.
On Thursday night all the club men,
bers were the guests of former Secre-
tary Everett c. Johnson at his print
ing plant Kells. On Friday evening the
club members put on a program plan
ned by themselves.
