SELECTED CLUB RECORDS OF BOYS’ AND GIRLS’ WORK. 
Up to the time this list is compiled, club work has varied much in the several 
States and labor records have not as yet formed a basis for estimates of credit. Some 
records are available in detail and others as summaries; some were based upon one 
conception of labor units and some on another idea. Yet the figures which follow 
should give some assistance in making estimates until such a time as the local records 
Merene a satisfactory basis of credit. If boys and girls are led to take an interest in 
getting these accurate records rather than to subordinate everything to winning prizes, 
the value of their records will be considerable.
