Show Members of 4-H Clubs Desire Higher Education Membership in 4-H clubs stimulates stimu-lates ambition for higher education in the agriculture and home-economics home-economics fields, and this trend is increasing, the federal extension service maintains, on the basis of a survey of the students in the agricultural colleges of the central states. A first survey of this type in 1927-28 1927-28 revealed that 751. or 18.5 npr rpnt of the students had been members of 4-H clubs. This year the 6,934 former club members who are attending at-tending these colleges comprise more than 37 per cent of the enrollment en-rollment in agriculture and home economics. In Illinois almost exactly one-half the students are former club members, mem-bers, and in Indiana, Nebraska, Kansas, and Iowa club members comprise more than 40 per cent of the students. "It is evident," says the extension exten-sion service, "that the 4-H club movement is fostering in members a desire to obtain additional scholastic scholas-tic training and is directing an increasing in-creasing number toward the agricultural agri-cultural colleges." |
