For us to attempt to pay notice
due a..d deserved of the feachers

Much of tne County Cubls
work is accomplished through
the girls and boys and if their
parents do not encourage the chil

cess that it should. In my_life
study of children, I find that a
child can be encouraged to do ‘any
tning. Some few find the home -
ties so binding that no amount of
‘bersuasion or encouragement from
the outside can change there ideas
from the parental training, but on
the other hand the masses of the
boys and girls are ton eagerto ac
cept any thing that strangers may
suggest and they are easily guided.
away from the ideal man or W=
man that papa and mama have
pictured to them. Why do we
find this difference among chil
dren? It usually comes from the
home training. The life that we
live before our children forms
their ideas of manhood and wo
manhood. I now have 397 club
members in the different clubs

ing fine club work. Why are not
