ONE. OF THE VALUABLE lessons which should be
impressed upon the people a result of the Kent and
Sussex Fair held last week at Harrington, to
CLEANED from the many handsome displays made by the
boys and girls clubs of both Kent and Sussex counties
The organization of these clubs during the past
years. is the result of realization the part

uny to have the conveniences the comforts and
luxuries, which town city offers It believed that
if the boys girls of Delaware could have the oppor
tuny to learn how to make and do things which would
afford much of the comforts and the luxuries that
greater percentage of contented young folks would
held the farms. With this the starting point, the
organization of boys and girls clubs in districts
of Delaware undertaken less than ten years The
movement grew gradually at first but it grew and helped
boys and girls to gain knowledge of how to make
home life everywhere happy we'll profitable
for the individual Within the five years the real
suits have been shown in many and FORMS that
the old conservative folks who profess to believe that
too much education not good for the children drv
to admit that the methods Of today better-that
they worth while the children better
prepared to take of themselves when leaving the
schools than their parents who equipped with
experience to help them compete with the young folks
1t would have been a fine thing if every parent
adult in Delaware could have been gathered into
large auditorium with lectures and films amplied that
all could hear and the successful results of the many
canning clubs of the sewing clubs the efforts of the hun
dreds of boys and girls to accomplish results under in
tegent instructors. When think of the hundreds of

tion for the boys and girls of today who will be the
home builders tomorrow by having learned how to
cook preserve of the fruits produced upon

Of Delaware
The bright young in charge of the displays
another splendid object lesson to look upon. Intel
lgent and capable of mpartng information to those in

beautiful ee preserves and canned fruits and qualified
to reproduce every article shown, in their home
they indeed asset for any State to be proud Of To
look upon the of exhibits in dressmaking, of needle
work of all kinds and the other things connected with do
nestle science is to realize that several hundreds of
girls in the public schools taking part under trained
to accomplish this work 1t is for
that boys and girls of today have the op
1ortunity these things go pub
lie schools partially trained to take up the affairs life
beyond anything their forefathers reached

ence.
This is the real lesson of the display made by the
children the Fair which should be impressed upon the
minds of all the people That they being not
nly in theory of education, but they prepared
omplsh the things which will form the daily yearly
