The title of this article is wrong. It should be the Capper-Ketcham Act. I do not know how to change the title.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Grose125 (talk • contribs)
Cool. The summary of the law is also wrong. It had nothing to do with either Capper clubs or FFA, and it didn't stipulate any specific funding for 4-H, but simply increased monies to Cooperative Extension already authorized by the Smith-Lever Act. There was a lot of testimony from 4-H members and organizers during committee hearings, and the primary lobbyist for the organization was the National Committee on Boys and Girls' Club work, a private philanthropic organization that supported 4-H clubs. I'm not sure I have the patience to find electronic references for all this, but I do have electronic copies of relevant committee hearings, etc. I'm a professional historian and just noticed this because a copy-editor for my book tried to correct my reference to Capper-Ketcham with reference to this page. As a brand new wiki editor, I'm not sure how to proceed. Any advice welcome.
