OUR 4-H JOB We have a job to do. You and I and everyone. Our job is this -- to make 4-H club work for boys and girls more attractive he re at North Salem. We have no better example of democracy in action today than a 4-H club. A girl or boy may join or stay out. Members elect their own officers, A member may decide for himself what he does or the self-improvement he cares to make, Opinions are sought, not suppressed. Several thousand men and women of the future 4-H club boys and girls now are enrolled in 4-H club work in Indiana. Many of them are destined' to become leaders not only in agriculture but in industrial, professional, and community life, They merit our respect and our best wishes for they are to take our places when we pass on. I believe that this gene ration of boys and girls is the equal of any that have gone before. The future of any industry, the future indeed of any nation, depends solely upon its youth, the workers and citizens of the future. The individual success of young people depends upon their own ability to build on the past with a vision of the future. To know what has gone before and to improve upon the experience of past gener- ations. In inspiring such vision and practical work towards the larger ends of progress, I know of no organization which has served boys and girls so well as the 4-H Clubs of America. Their program is a practical working plan insuring the future of America's farms and the prosperity of her farmers. If education is to be of real service to farm life and to rural children we must cease to be awed by traditional subjects and procedures and build our schools on the essential needs of the countryside and country child. Today we have lost our way in the mass of specializations, each worshipped for its own sake rather than for what it can contribute to happy and successful living. ln building up this country our interest has centered too much in machines, industry, city life, rather than in the land and rural life. We are the beginning of what bids fair to be a rural renaissance. Country life is receiving attention-- unequalled since colonial days. For rural schools, this means a new opportunity and a new duty. Nothing can take from the 4-H clubs the feeling of success in its accomplish- ments for the good of the boys and girls and for the welfare of the nation. We know that 4-H clubs are succeeding. We know it can succeed here at North Salem. The boys and girls that are members know of its accomplishments and appreciate them. The 4-H boys and girls have launched out in great projects. They have spent hours at their work. They have met obstacles and problems and have solved them. They carried on because they knew that success lay ahead of them. That is the spirit which motivates service and accomplishments. I believe that the 4-H boys and girls are entitled to the best of everything. We ask those outside the fold to join with us in carrying on this great organization and all its projects. A new year is just ahead, May it bring everyone the greatest joy, the richest blessings, the maximum happiness. May it stamp upon the minds of the fathers and mothers of these club members and upon the public mind the joy and the bless- ings and the happiness that comes from service and accomplishments that the 4-H club renders, M r .
