Seven out of every ten boys and girls will live on the farm or en gage in business in the county de pendent absolutely on the agricultural production. The best hankers and business men of our state endorse the work. I do not believe anything is more important to the future develop ment of the county’s resources than the boys’ and girls’ club work. It is preparing them for their life work. It teaches the boy or girl reading, writ ing, spelling, arithmetic, composition. Show me a boy or girl that does not need to know these things. The News will publish this week a story of a girl’s work last year. She is a country girl and always attended a country school. Can your boy or girl do as well? She belonged to the club five years. The State Board of Education believes the work of such importance until it is one of the re quirements for a standard school in Georgia. This should be enough to put every teacher and trustee behind the club work in their school. If they do not aim at standard work and a standard school, your community will never have it. I want to see every boy and girl from 10 to 18 years enroll in one of the clubs the present year. I want to see every parent become interested in the project of his boy or girl. I am offering twelve books toward a library in the school that furnishes the most club members completing the work and making final reports. The highest per cnet of the enrollment in school. This gives the small school the same chance as the largest school. There are families in the county that never furnished a club member. There are schools that never furnished but two or three to complete the work. The responsibility the present year is yours. I offer to do the best I can for them if they enroll. Let us see that every one of the proper age belongs to one of the clubs, W. N. D. DIXON, County Agent. LINE CREEK. There were no services here last Sunday on account of bad weather.
