BROOK (Editor's Note: This is the first of a series of four articles on the history of the development of home extension activities and the import ance of the work of home exten sion agents in the lives of thou sands of women in the United Stales.) Opportunity! A keyword of our American heritage! One .of the most important op portunities is education. America's education started out slowly in deed. As part of cur home life in the beginning, parents taught chil dren. ' Time went on and we de veloped private schools, the public schools for children of all ages. Advanced education came with private colleges. They gave op portunity to the few who could af ford It. A little later In our history we find that colleges became im ' portant in the states and state supported schools came Into being. In Oregon we have Oregon State College, the University of Oregon, Southern Oregon College of Educa tion, Ashland, Eastern Oregon Col lege of Education, La Grande, and Oregon College of Education, Mon mouth. Among the many service pro arams from Oregon State College is one that truly belongs to you the people. This is the county ex tension service, developed to carry college education to residents of cities, towns and rual areas away from college sites. Right here In Klamath County. women sought this service. It be came a realistic program here tn 1838. On August 1 of that year Mrs. Winllrcd Gillcn arrived Klamath Falls to serve as the first home demonstration agen. She found a W'ide open field for the services offered by extension work. And what did that mean? And what does it mean today? First, groups of people, usually a close-knit group in a community have met to form units, have de veloped programs in the field of home economics for study. This is the opportunity to keep up with new research in foods and nutrition, clothing, housing, home management, child care. family life, recreation, in fact all the phases of living that build hap pier homes. During those four months in 1938. a home and rural life conference was held to study needs of Klam ath homemakers. This committee of 26 leaders from communities in the county were chosen by Airs, A. L. Marshall, Mrs. Bert Schultz, Mrs. R. H. Anderson and the coun- tv extension office.
