the club

The club at its best creates a society of personalities with a community sense, which is the essence of good citizenship... We are not concerned with the making of 'good club members' or 'well-organized youth groups', but with a much wider issue, the making of good citizens. This can only be done in a society where each member is important, where each one is given a chance to contribute something to the life of the group - the leader no more and no less than the member. It is for this reason that self- government is so important in club work. (Josephine Macalister Brew 1943: 12)
