Chemawa Plans for In-Service
and Indian Youth ConSerence
in February
Our own agriculture teachers and staff, in gen­
eral, are working very hard to get ready for this
conference. Mr. Goodwin will be here February
10th, to work out a specific program for the con­
ference. Others expected to attend are: F. H.
McBride and Miss Pauline H. Clark from the
Blackfeet Agency; Miss Rose K. Brandt of Bill­
ings, Montana; Mrs. Susie S. Calaway from the
Colville Agency; Carl Hartman from the Northern
Idaho Agency; Maurice Z. Sketton and Ira R.
Bowman of Rocky Boy’s Agency; Jerry Thomp­
son, John W. Griffith, Miss Wyona M. Florence,
from the Tongue River Agency; Webster G.
Pannell and Lawrence Fairbairn from the Warm-
springs Agency; and Clairborne Lickett, Rayno
W. Pentilla, and Miss F. Bernice Brown from
the Wind River Agency. A few members of the
latter groups are student representatives.
Although a definite program has not yet been
arranged, the general sessions will be divided
into two groups, the Instructors’ Section, and
the Youths’ section.
Discussions will concern the aims and objec­
tives of the conference, such as possible 4-H club
organizations, and programs and activities of the
Future Farmers of America. The question of
whether a National organization of Indian youth
is desirable will also be discussed. There may be
demonstration classes of various agriculture act­
ivities. Reports and recommendations will be
made on the activities of the appointed commit­
tees throughout the conference.
Chemawa is eagerly looking forward to wel­
coming the many people who will attend the
conference.
