In their home town, near Mena

salesman and Lum was working fol

the two put on blackface act that

time, they changed their dialect tc
that of backwoods philosophers. The

was April 26, 1881.

~ OBSTRUCTIVE leadership for
the future in West Virginia is not
being left to chance with the hope
that able and wholesome leaders will
develop, but is being assured through a
system of training that begins with boys
and girls and extends to adult men and
women.
In a measure, the same system, or
variations of it. is being used throughout
the United States. but in no state may
be found development under the guild
ance of the states highest educational
nstitution-the state university-that
goes as far toward training leaders for
all walks of life as does West Virginia's
State All Camp, administered by the
Agricultural Extension Service of West
Virginia University.
This camp, the pioneer development
of its kind in the world, and by far the
most extensive of any similar develop
ment anywhere, has been in the process
