u. S. Specialist Lauds MINI. Work
The work of the home demonstra-
ton section in the division of agri-
cultural extension, University of Min
nesota, has evoked enthusiastic ex-
pressions of approval from Miss Grace
E. Frysinger, home demonstration
specialist of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
Miss Frysinger, having just at
tended achievement day" exhibits in
Freedom and Fillmore counties,
where clothing projects had just been
completed, and in Washington county,
where home management projects
had been under way through the
winter, in a visit at University
Farm, St. Paul, was delighted over
the results achieved in all branches
of the work.
She was particularly pleased with
the work among the clothing project
students in different parts of the
state, who have been seeking training
in the art of better clothing. "The
women in these projects" she said,
care really learning what it means
to be better clothed. They are learning
that elsewhere, but III no other state
has the work been more effective
than in Minnesota.
In the clothing projects, the wo-
men students are taught what to
wear, and how to buy and to fashion
what ought to be worn. They are
taught by local leaders, who, in turn,
receive their instruction from special
lists sent out by the University De-
partment of Agriculture
More Club Camps Being Called for
-Goodhue, and Steele and Dodge

camps for boys and girls club work

parts of the state, according to a re-
port from T. A. Erickson, state lead
er of boys and girls club work, Uni
versity Farm, St. Paul.
"The camps" says Mr.. Erickson,
"have proved highly successful. I
am satisfied we are accomplishing as
much in our industrial work in these
club camps as we are at any other
kind of club meetings, including the
short courses"
The camps thus far held were at
tended by unexpectedly large groups.
At the Otter Tail Lake camp there
were 225 boys and girls; at the Fair
mont camp, 2S6; at Redwood Falls,
attendance limited to Redwood coun-
ty, 90; at Montevideo, 90; at the st.
Louis county camp, $50; at Big Stone
Lake, 200.
Life at the camp consisted of a
combination of work and play. Class

sity Farm specialists, occupied the
forenoon hours, and play and recrea-
ton the afternoon and evenings.
