Excerpt from Camp Liberty, Vol. 7: A Farm Cadet Experiment III. The section where foreign tenants rent out small holdings from'the native owners and depend on 'seasonal labor for their help. The American high school boy in the employ and under the instruction of say, a Polack peasant, may not be an entirely impossible situation so far as increased production goes, but the chances are all against it, and success from the educational standpoint is surely impossible. Both educational and economic considerations demand a region of diversified farming, giving promise of a variety of experience and fairly continuous work throughout the season. As a matter of educational consideration moreover, it is of no small importance that the city youth shall have as his initial experience of country life a community where farm life and conditions may be seen to good advantage, where life is fairly prosperous, enterprising, American. Another factor of great importance must always be the initial attitude of the farm community toward the camp. Camp Liberty was established at the invitation of one or two leading farmers, and their co-operation in furnishing housing facilities and in giving employment through the first days when the camp was establishing its reputation in the community at large was invaluable.
