Scholarship Presentation Feature
of Morris Parents Day
Presentation of the 7th District
Federation of Womens' Clubs $1,000
scholarship and loan fund to the
West Central School of Agriculture
at Morris was the feature of the
Annual Parents Day program held
last Saturday, Nov. 5. Miss Lorayne
Larson, Of Alexandria, past presi-
dent of the 7th District Federation
of Womens' Clubs gave the pre-
sentation address on behalf of the
Federation. In her speech she
traced the development of Women's
Clubs from the time they began as
purely cultural circles, until the
present date, when these activities
branch out into every worth while
phase of community life. She stat
ed that her organization had long
wanted to do something as a Fed
Grafton and that they conceived the
idea of raising such a fund from
the activities of Yellow Medicine
and Lac Qui Parle County groups
who had aided students in attend
ance at the West Central School.
The speaker stated that the West
Central School was chosen because
it was an institution serving the
entire 7th District, and because the
Federation felt that the service it
was giving to the country homes
was Invaluable and worthy of rec
ognition. Two conditions govern
ing the use of the fund were that
the recipient of loan must be in
attendance at the School of Agri-
culture, and must be a resident of
the seventh district. At the con-
clusion of her talk she presented
Supt. Miller, representing the
school, a certified cashiers check
for $1,000.
Supt. P. E. Miller, representing
the University of Minnesota, re-
sponded to Miss Larson's presenta-
ton speech and accepted the schol-
arship and loan fund. He pictured
briefly what such a fund would be
worth in the lives of the farm boys
and girls of this territory, and ex-
pressed on behalf of the school the
very sincere thanks and apprecia-
ton of the institution. He also read
letters of thanks from Principal of
the University of Minnesota, Lotus
of the University Department of
Agriculture.
Mrs. o. Lund, of Dawson, presi-
dent of the 7th District Federation,
also spoke briefly, and expressed
her pleasure at seeing the culmina-
ton of this plan. Mrs. Lund and
Miss Larson were accompanied by
a large delegation of club women
from outside of Morris.
Another feature of the program
was speech by DR.. Andrew Boss,
vice director of the University De-
partment of Agriculture, speaking
for Frank Peck, director of Elk
tension work, who was unable to
be present because of an uneX-
pected operation. DR.. Boss cited
the results of a study made show
ing that most successful farmers
owed much of their success to Co
operation with a good wife and
children. This same study also
showed that the men with the
greatest technical knowledge made
the greatest success of their farm
ing operation. DIR. Boss stated that
he could offer no hope of an i'm
mediate recovery from all agricul-
tural problems, and gave his hear
lxyio IN,
guard to the next year or two.
