Club Reports Show
Large Advancement
A m arked in crease in enrollm ent
is shown in th e an n u al rep o rt of
th e cooperative extension work
from the office of W. 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.
Nor is the am ount in d o llars and
cen ts th e only profit accru in g to
th ese young people. The value of
a steady aim and tho> satisfactio n
of accom plishm ent will be w orth
vastly m pre to them in c h a racter
