It used to be that the primary concern was what can a boy or girl do with a calf or a pig but now it's what can work with a calf or pig do for the boy or girl ,says W. M. Antes, state 4-H club leader at the University of Nebraska. The aim of the 4-H club today is to provide informal educa tional opportunities for mental physical social ana spiritual growth of young people. And to provide this development In such a manner that they may lead useful and satisfying lives and be better prepared for their adult citizen ship responsibilities. The learning to do by doing process has done more than grow taller corn or better ani mals. He feels that In a sense the process was growing taller and better young people In terms of their becoming better leaders and citizens ana in their willingness and desire to work with others. The 4-H project was once the door through which new seed varltles, purebred livestock, and other approved practices were Introduced to the farms. Antes says this still Is Important but he feels the objectives of jii.-p j i ui.1 V ' wi if ; i .' 1 ''-mfaj "' " 'X -' ."' V. i . . . -' V . . 4-H are much broader now.
