THE TRAINING OF FARMERS 



Young Men's Christian Association 



A typical example of the application of 

 organized effort in rural problems, is the 

 new " county work" of the Young Men's 

 Christian Association. A rural county, 

 rather than a city or town, becomes the unit 

 of organization, with minor divisions and 

 leaders. The motive of the work is to de- 

 velop local leadership and imagination in 

 all ways that will permanently help the 

 young men in the localities. We may ex- 

 pect to see this new movement become one 

 of the recognized agencies of constructive 

 rural development.
