Girls' State is a program of education edu-cation and training in the functional function-al aspects of citizenship, sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary, Department of Utah. Girls' State is an effort on the part of the Auxiliary Aux-iliary to bring to girls of Utah a knowledge of the fundamental principals of American government through actual practice and control con-trol of the state offices during Girls' State. The program will be an intensive course in government, under expert teachers. The girls . will live out the various roles, they will be taught and early in the week a "mayor", "governor", "county commissioners", etc., will be elected to- govern the "state", and every girl will have a definite and integral part of the function of Girls' State and will observe at i first hand the problems of governments govern-ments and just what makes it. The project is set up to inculate sound Americanism, a sense of duty to . the state and the nation, to teach the girls that "isms" other than : Americanism have no place in good j democratic government. Last year the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Jaycees aided the American Legion Auxiliary by paying the fees ; of the girl who goes. This year the Ladies' Clubs of Hinckley will pay the fees. i To be eligible a girl must be a I member of the Junior Class, must i have qualities of leadership, have ; good character and be in the up- l per third of her class scholastically, and she should be able to bring back to 'the community the inter- ' est and sense of responsibility in i government. i |
