Boys' and girls' clubs

"Club work is based on sound principles and has come to stay. It is supported by federal and state aid as a definite form of agricultural extension work. Boys and girls on the farm are aided in their work and every possible advantage is extended to flt them, for better living and "to improve country life." It is proper in this connection to mention that club work has received special recognition from the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. On Pages 124-126 of the last Annual School Report will be found a general statement of this movement. On Pages 122 and 124 of the last State Course of Study will b.e found the . details of some of the projects. In the first county campaign which had as an aim to acquaint patrons, pupils and teachers with the nature and purpose of Boys' and Girls' Clubs, the state superintendent took personal part and gave sanction to the work. So far as known no other state has given stronger recognition to club work than Missouri."--Page 3
