WHY A JUNIOR CLIB?
(Mrs. Billy Davis, President of Dis
trict, Number 1, Clubs of North Car
olina)
In thinking of an ideal home the
first thought that comes to one's
mind is: Aro theie children to bright
e:i that home and be reared in the
way that an ideal home would rear
children to carry on life's work, when
the elders of that home have passed
on?
Then so it is with our clubs of
today. One of the first things a wel*
organized club should do, would be
l > organize a junior club consisting of
a number of young ladies. We have
the very best authority for the state
rrent that if we t-ain uo a child if
tKe way he should go he will not
thereafter depart from it. This is tlr
principle on which all great perma
ront ln:m?n o-ginv/ations are bui't
"*'v.? Str-b1 apnlies it in our schools
p*m1 t'o chutvh in our'Sunday schoo's
Therefore, proving to us that youth
i-= the training peiiod for the tasks
tl'at must come at maturity. ? T^et1
tMs is the principle underlying the
;'oa of Junior Denartments in flur
inh<s. The organization of women'8
?'ubs have become a great force for
-ood in our modern life. Their work

The benefits from Junior Depart
ments will If mutual. They them
selves, will receive valuable training
at the same
by
enr
thusiasw of the Juniors.
They wi'l bring us a new outlook
a refreshing spirit into the-work and t
save us from getting into ruts as we
so often do. At the same time they
will be learning from the experience
of their seniors and will be ready
when the t'me comes for them to take
over the ta*ks we leave for them.
We find, where Juniors ave organ
ized, they are doing all kinds of work
i a'ong all lines, but philanthropic
i work seems to find most general fa
(vor. They are found helping in all j
I needs of life "from the cra'He to the
?grave," preceding the cradle by pro
viding many layettes, furnishing milk
I to undernourished, giving magazines
i to those vWt cannot buv them and
doing mam* other useful things such
as planting flowers, sponsorinfrclean

in welfare work by raising money for
