Extract

The first noun used in the Smith-Lever Act (Cooperative Extension's enabling Legislation) is “people”. The first verb in the act is “aid.” In 1944, M. L. Wilson wrote (Kelsey and Heame) “Extension is a partnership agency in which the officials of government federal, state, and county sit in council with rural people and together analyze local conditions, take stock of their resources, and make and help to carry out programs for the financial, educational, and social benefit of the community and its individual members.”
