FOUR-H CLUB anc/ JFl/Tl/RE ? FARMER ACTIVITIES Development Of Ch a ra cter Most Vital 4-H Task Boys And Girls Learn Serious Things Of Life In Work By DAN Lewis South Carolina Stat? Boys Club Agent Education is not a preparation for life it Is life itself, said a leading educator. The 4-H club movement has grown and received the support of the people Because It is pedagogl cally sound, developing young people through encouraging them to take an active part in demonstrating (he better practices In agricul ture and home economics. The purpose of 4-H Club work is to Im prove practices In agriculture and home mak ing and to develop a more satisfying rural life. To do this, the economic and social life of the rural boys and girls must be improved. Listen to what Parker Fralix. calf club mem ber of Colleton county. 8cuth Carolina, has to say : "One of the moat valuable ways club work has helped me was to teach me how to shoulder responsibility. It ha# brought me in contact with the life problems of my oomm unity, it has helped me to do something worthwhile on the farm and in my home. It has also en couraged me to finish high school and given me a desire to go to college. It has shown me the necessity of fitting myself for life's work. Develops Character "Club work has taught me good sportsman ship. self eontrol, and co-operation. It has de veloped an appreciation of good health and a feeling at responsibility to my home and com munity. "Club work has tayght ate to think through and solve problems; the value of thrift and the dignity of labor, and it has influenced me in character development.** Another boy from Colleton oounty In speak ing of the value of club work said: "The most valuable thing I learned from club work In 1934 was that It paid to use fertilizer. Corn in the field adjoining mine was almost a com plete failure and my acre was among the best In the county." From Chester county Marlon Hall, another club member, says: "I have learned to properly feed and care for dairy cows. I have also learned how to fit and show them at the State Fair. By attending 4-H club oamps and rally days held during the summer, I have learned to play new games and formed new friend ships." HM MMe Money -v- Now listen to Roy Oramling of Orangeburg: "During my years of 4-H club work from be ginning to end I have strlred to attain the high ideals of the Pour H's, Head Heart, Hands, and Health, set as goals for all club boys and | girls. I hare also taken an active part In everything my club has done. I have grown j outstanding demonstrations, taken part in live stock Judging contests, attended the monthly community club meetings and the summer 4-H camps, exhibited my products at the county and State fairs, gone to and taken part In rally and achievement day programs, and taken part In leadership training and other activities. I have made money from my Hub projects, learned some thrift principles and made many friends.* Otis Copeland of Bamberg, in discussing 4-H club work and what It meant to him. outlined its purpoess as follower lb teach (1) the de velopment of character. (S) a proper appre ciation of agricultural eclenoe, (t) thrift and prudecne, (4) the dignity of labor, (t) love and development of home, (0) to learn by dclng, (7) integrity, (8) good sportsmanship, (?) co-operation, (10) salf-oontrol and self-reliance, (11) an appreciation of health, (12) the de velopment of ability to do, and it cultivates a vision to sse. Club work teaches sUck-to-ltlveneese "The fellow who never surrenders And is taking things as they come; Who never says 'quit* and exhibits grtt. When the whole world's looking glume The fellow who stays to the finish. That nothing can hinder or stop. And who works like sin. is the ohsp who'll win And some day hell be on top." An Inspiration a. A. Patrick of Pairfleld county says: T have learned valuable lwssnns In earing for end Judging livestock. To grow good livestock one must be on the Job every day In the year, and if you will only give them a fair chance they will repay you threefold. Club work has in spired me to greater things and I am very anx ious to continue my education, specializing In agriculture." R. A. hopes to enter Clemeon "Some more of the valuable lessons club work has taught me are as follows: I have learned the worthwhile lesson of keeping rec ords of different farm projects, and of thus finding out whether they brought me a profit. 1 have learned a helpful lesson in patience since I have to work and to watt before Z could see any harvest in return. I found that X could not always be a prlae winner even though I might strlVs ever so hard, so I learned the great lesson of accepting defeat cheerfully. It has taught me a stm greater lesson that I must take God as my dally partner and helper for I can plant and work but without His aid my work would _be ? failure." ? ? "Without vision the people perish" was spoken prophetically.

Dean Schaub One Of First To Start 4-H Clubs Hertford County Corn Club Wii Forerunner Of Organization By HOY U.

"Today practically every county In North Carolina haa both community and eounty organisations of boys and girls. At these meet ings, at camp, at the Stat* Short Oouras, at achievement day*, at State and out-of-state events, the elub member has an opportunity to meat with his tallow club members and to leam from him not only shout' club work bo* the things which make tor a rttMr rural Ufa."
