H. C. Seymour, state club leader lec
tured last Friday at the Grange Hall
on the boys end girls club work. The
teachers and pupils were out In a
body and a good many of the citizens
were present. The lecture was very
Interesting and was Illustrated by
etereoptlcon slides, showing what the
boys and girls had accomplished In
the state by their club work. The
ioys and girls not only get the in
formation on these subject taught in
the public schools and the home but
they get this knowledge suplomen'.ed
by teachers from the O. A. C. This is
a great help. County Agent Cooter
