D. K inder. Although the percentage of com pletions Is not quite up to th a t of last year, 300 more boys and girls have enrolled during the year for club work th an in 1925. T he n um ber of clubs organized th ro u g h the year totaled 89 w ith an enro llm en t of 782. Of the 89 clubs organized 76 have become standardized. Out of 782 club m em bers, 723 m ade com pletions, or over 92 per cent. Out of th e 89 clubs, 67 of them com pleted th eir work 100 per cent. This has been a splendid club year for M ultnom ah county, as th e foregoing figures will bear out. The local leaders are w orthy a g reat deal of p raise for th e ir u n tirin g ef fo rts and all are looking forw ard to a b etter y ear in 1927. T he a n nual local lead ers' m eeting is to be held in the n ear fu tu re, a t which tim e officers will be elected for the com ing year. Some may have the idea th a t the boys’ and g irls’ club p roject is a juvenile affair w ith but a m inim um value as to th e investm ent re p re sented. T his is an erro n eo u s view of club w ork. T he value of all pro jects as tak en from the final rep o rts is $21,957.41. Of th is am ount th e cost is $12,740.73, leav ing a balance of profit of $9,216.68.
