It states, in essence, what was taught to more than six hundred boys during their week at the con- vention. Legislation, law enforcement, and general law were presented to the delegates and prac- tical politics was enjoyed by every boy who wished to run for an office at the convention, Every boy returned home with an appre- ciation for the important job our state offi- cials do and the importance of voting to elect the right man for the job. Few will ever forget the friends they made and the important lessons they learned about the government of the State of Missouri,
