Teaching Children to Farm.

An interesting experiment is going on in
one of the public parks of Baltimore 1T be-
ing the second year Of its trial. The super
fntendent of the park last year conceived
the Idea of converting part Of one of the
playground sections into a kindergarten
farm, where the children could ''play farm
ing" and in this way become interested in
nature, besides acquiring habits of industry.
The first experiment was SO encouraging
that he has renewed 1t on a larger scale.
One day last week, when 1,5OO children
We're at the park Fairgrounds, the super
intendent selected fifty-seven Of the num-
ber and placed each Of these in charge of a
tiny farm" 30x35 feet. The farms" had
already been planted with vegetables, and
the farmers were informed that 1t would
be their duty to keep them clear Of weeds
and tend the crops. Each was given a hoe
and rake and the superintendent devotes an
hour daily to showing the young farmers
how to look after their crops.
The children take hold of the work with
enthusiasm. Last year 1t was found that
many had no idea how the commonest vege-
tables grow. and their delight in watching
the result Of their work on the farms" was
great. The superintendent thinks a great
deal Of unused land In the various parks
could be used to afford children a practi-
cal idea Of gardening. For those children
at the Baltimore park who cannot have
farms" to cultivate. sand piles and other
forms of amusement are provided.

The provincial and civil officials Of these

Governor Taft, as heretofore Gen. Chaffee
has the power arbitrarily to remove from

and to abrogate any section of the laws
promulgated In these three provinces.
The residents of the Island of Cebu have
protested, but without success against the
return of that island to military control.
Several towns on Cebu are still besieged by
the insurgents. The insurrection on the
Island of Bohel has been renewed. and in
surgent sentiment In the province of Ba-
tangas is strong.
Gen: Chaffee has ordered a battalion Of
the Both Infantry to begin the occupation
of the Island of Mindoro.
