Country Girls' Clubs: The Dominion Federation

The younger Country Girls' Club movement follows generally the same pattern as the young farmers', with possibly more stress on social activities as the motto suggests: “Courtesy, Grace, and Companionship”. Club activities are naturally such as are related to the lives of young women living in the country. The movement also receives help and encouragement from the Department of Agriculture.
