The Boys' and Girls' Club
Movement. '
Nothing is more marked in the agri-
cultural life of Canada than the at-
tentiom. that is being given to the
a.grincultural education of the young.
By young is meant boys and girls
ranging in age from around fitteen
yeaes and under, pay to twelve years.
Much of this instruction is not alto-
gether school work but is of a prac-
tical nature. 01 great prominence in
this direction is tbe encouragement
given to boys' and girls' clubs and
school fairs for the rearing and ex-
hibiting of calves, pigs, sheep, and
poultry. It ie not so many years since
the first of these organizations came
into being, ancl there are now hun-
dreds of them scattered throughout
the country. Mile they have fairly
taken hold of the popular imagination,
as evidenced by the general -support
that ts farthconaing from many quar-
ters; including banking institutions,
fairs, exhibitions and, other interests,
they have been "greatly fostered and
encouraged financially and in other
ways by the different government de-
partments. While the provences have
in this way made their influence 'felt,
the Dominion has not been behind.
Etuch year, grants of some magnitude
are made to the provinces for in-
struetional purpons, 'chiefly under
the Ag.ricultural Instruction Act pass-
ed by the Dominion Parliament in
1913, and providing for the distribu-
tion of ten million .dollars -within a
period a ten years. The movement
owes its rapid and succes.sful develop-
ment largely to the fact that the
