ganized play that has been carried
on by the director.
The children are always eager for
the opening. and 1t has kept a great
many children from playing in the
streets where accidents are bound to
happen.
The playground Is no longer an
experiment, the growth throughout
the country has been wonderful.
There is no better training yet de-
used for the junior citizenship of
our government than a properly con-
Quoted playground. appears to be a
quite general conclusion; that play is
not n luxury but n necessity; that the
duty OF the city is TO give the child
a chance to play normally under
proper conditions.

Boys and Girls Farm Clubs Show
Gratifying Results in All Lines

One of the most gratifying de

work during 1922 is the increasing
number of club demonstrators who
completed their work and reported
results at the end of the year. 1t
has been recognized for some, time
by extension workers that the best,
single statistical index yet found to-
determine the quality of the. work
conducted among boys and girls is
the percentage Of members ,eomplet {
ing the enterprises undertaken.
Among the various activities that
are carried on in the junior clubs,
clothing and textile work seemed to.
interest the largest number in 1922.

while gardening interested $4,000
members, whose vegetables, either
sold or used by the family, were
valued at $470,000. The results of
BOYS and girls club work in all
lines for two years, 1922, exceeded
those of any year since the war.
As junior demonstrators, rural
bows and girls follow with interest
the farm and home practices recon
mended. When they see convincing
results obtained, they become con
verted to such practices, which in
turn are soon reduced to habit. thus
equipping them for their future
work as farmers and homemakers.
Junior extension signifies farm
and home work, Transforming drudg-
erv into interesting tasks. 1t gives
n money return, often sufficient to
assist farm boys and girls to go to
college or into business. 1t quickens
and satisfies the desire for service
and the instinct for assuming more
responsibility in the work of the
farm and home.
