- Authors
Peterson, Weber H.
- Abstract
This study compares the activity of a group of 4-H students with those of a comparable group of non-4-H students of Montana State College. The 4-H students (boys and girls) participated in college activities about one-third more than did non-4-H students, the 4-H boys participating over 50 per cent more than the non-4-H boys. Longer membership in 4-H club means increased participation in college activities and a slightly higher scholastic standing, as shown by this study. The only college activity that non-4-H students participated in more than the 4-H students was journalism. The 4-1-H students made greater use of the "push" their fraternities gave them than did the non-4-H fraternity students. The scholastic standing of the two groups is not significantly different; however, the standing of the 4-H students was slightly higher. A larger percentage of the 4-H students who were enrolled at Montana State College during the winter quarter of 1937 re-enrolled at Montana State College during the winter quartet of 1938 than did non-4-H students. The effect of 4-H training was more pronounced in the sophomore and junior years of college than in the freshman and senior years.
