Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of Home Demonstration Work, 1934 The large volume of results as given in the review of major projects, and the high quality of work maintained throughout the year, can be attri buted to the close supervision given by State leaders and specialists. Projects were strengthened and closer check was kept on demonstrations in the homes by county extension agents with the assistance of local leaders. There were volunteer leaders in 1954 who assisted in conducting home demonstration work. In addition, adult leaders assisted in 4-h club work. Imore effective visual - instruction devices were developed and used by extension workers than ever before. In both press and radio publicity, 1954 can be considered a banner year. Home demonstration activities play an important part in the main tenance of farm-family morale, especially in the attitudes of farm.women. This is something that cannot be measured in terms of increased family ih come or in terms of extension effort. It is rather something of the spirit. Farm women deserve the highest praise for their patience, resourcefulness, and cheerfulness under great difficulties. The farmer, beset with the problems of agricultural adjustment, drought, tax delinquency, etc., has found his courage and his faith sustained by the abiding determination of the farm wife that the home should not be surrendered. Farm.women have often remarked that the home visits of the home demonstration agent and the meetings of the home demonstration club help to maintain high spirit. A desirable standard of living in material satisfaction means a comfortable home, an adequate amount of wholesome food, and suitable cloth ing for the family. In nonmaterial values it means education, recreation, music, books, magazines, travel, charity, and church. It is contended by some that education is far more important than increases in money wages in raising the standard of life; that the material standard of life can never rise above the psychic standard. The activities of the Extension Service are based on the belief that the desire for higher standards and the earn ing of funds for their realization are dependent upon each other and that they must go hand in hand. The means to both these ends is education in its broadest sense and is therefore an important function, of the Extension Service.
