REPORT OF PLAN AND EXPENSES OF THE BOYS' 

 AND GIRLS' CLUB WORK. 



Fifteen hundred dollars was allotted by the Department for 

 this work in 1920, and the following plan w^as adopted: — 



1. A pin was given to each boy or girl who undertook and 

 completed a project. 



2. Expenses were paid for a w^eek in the prize winners' 

 camp at Amherst for the boy or girl who did the best work in 

 each project, to the number of seven in each county. Since 

 in some counties more than seven projects were being carried 

 on, other prize winners came to the camp from several counties, 

 having their expenses paid by their respective counties. 



3. A book was sent to the second prize winner in each proj- 

 ect, to the number of seven in each county. These books 

 were chosen from the works of standard authors, so that they 

 are a valuable addition to the young people's libraries. 



4. A banner was presented to each local club in which every 

 member completed the projects undertaken. Each local group 

 of boys and girls who began the work was organized into one 

 of these clubs.
