. FARM GIRLS' CLUB 



O every girl in Xevv York State we extend an invitation 

 to become a member of the Farm (jirls" Club. Doubt- 

 less you have read in the April LeaHet that the farm 

 boys are busy organizing and planning work and play 

 for the coming year. We want to have the farm girls 



Tdo some work and have good times, too. 

 If you have not already done so, talk this matter 

 over with your teacher. Ask her to call in all the 

 girls in the neighborhood whether they are in school 

 or not. W'e want every girl in the district between 

 the ages of twelve and eighteen years of age to be mem- 

 bers of this club. 

 The boys are going to do some work out in the 

 fields. This is going to help them to be the most in- 

 telligent farmers in the community. They are starting young and that 

 is the way to prepare for a good life work. 



Now what are the girls going to do? Do you know that it is a great 

 privilege to be a girl ? I wonder if girls know how important they are 

 in the lives of every one about them ? How much there is for them to do, 

 even for little girls, and what a joy there can be in the doing? While the 

 boys are afield, learning to be intelligent farmers, 1 want the girls to be 

 preparing themselves to make the home in which they live the very 

 brightest, most cheerful, and most attractive in their community. This 

 will be the purpose of the Girls' Club.
