- Farmville's choice: In this lesson, students will learn about rural life in North Carolina at the turn of the century. Home demonstration and 4H clubs implemented many programs to help people learn better farming techniques, ways of preserving food, and taking care of the home. Several North Carolina leaders went to great lengths to ensure the success of these programs. In part of this activity, students help the town of Farmville dedicate a monument to one of those people.

In this black and white photograph, two rows of children (mostly girls) are lined up to have their group picture taken. They stand in front a light-colored clapboard building with dark trim. Three of four windows are open and white curtains hang from wires suspended across them. Most of the children are wearing white aprons and caps and many of them are also barefoot. At either end of the formation is an adult: one older man and one woman wearing a plaid dress and a big bun atop her head. To their left, is an open doorway filled with five women wearing long ankle-length skirts and straw hats of various hues.
