by the older children of the seventh grade,
but the long summer vacation Of the schools
has been somewhat detrimental to the Sc
curing OF best results with these flowers,
which seem to demand more frequent and
careful attention than circumstances at
present will allow their sponsors to bestow
upon them. The same may be said of the
cultivation of the rose, which is given to
the eighth grade for study, although with
the pansy their results have been more
satisfactory, many plants having been pro-
duced from the seeds and abundant bios
SONS picked from their small pansy bed, at
different times as many as sixty at one
picking.
During the earlier part of the school
year and indeed throughout the entire
year each grade is studying the different
phases Of some particular kind of tree,
the leaf, the bark, the bud, the twig and
the general outline of the tree, both when
in foliage and when bare. so that the
child graduating from the eighth grade has
had opportunity to study in a general way
at least and should be able to recognize
the maple, the cottonwood, the elm, the
ash, the willow, the boxelder, the black
walnut, and the Eastwood, and he should
not only be able to recognize them, but
he knows something of their habits of
growth, their uses and their values. Chill
dren in city schools have scant Opportunity
for study of trees by observation and We
have found 1t of great benefit to take the
classes OF the various parks in the city for
the purpose Of tree study. 1t would be
fortunate, indeed, II a city could afford
ground space about each public school
building sufficient for the growing of
various kinds of trees studied, for everyone
knows that daily association and observa-
tion are necessary to an accurate knowl-
edge Of these things.
With the small amount Of ground at our
disposal it is possible to do little more
than sample work. but the space available
is carefully measured and divided by the
number of schools in. the building. One Of
these plats is assigned to each school;
however, before the division into parts
comes the digging day" A committee
from each room is appointed to remain
after school and assist in the first prep
aration Of the ground. AS they return
from luncheon from all directions children
may be seen coming armed with spades,
hoes, rakes. digging forks. trundling

which to his listeners seemed little short
Of marvellous.
Great encouragement and an unusual i'm
petus was given to the home gardening by
allowing the children to send to one Of the
large seed dealers in an eastern city who
advertised penny packages Of various iow-
ers and vegetable seeds. Lists were fur
nished and each child who wished to send
an order made his own selection from the
list written on the blackboard. e.
In one school Of the city orders for more
than 1000 seed packages were sent and
the day of the arrival of the seeds at the
school and OF their distribution among the
children was one Of pleasure and anticipa-
tion.
The children of some CT the schools were
privileged to send the result of their labors
to the hospitals OF the city and more than
one sick room has been made brighter by
the fragrant lowers picked from the school
gardens. To the children of the first grade
has been assigned the tulip and the plox
~drummindi. and II was a pleasure to notice
In one OF the schools of this grade that
until quite late In November a bouquet of
the phlox was seen daily on the teachers
desk, the little ones being keenly inter-
ested in keeping Jack Frost away from
their ~favorite blossoms. In the fall, too,
they bring in the tulip bulbs In this grade
and are taught how to care for them until
the proper times for planting.
The second grade study more particularly
the petunia and the morning glory, both Of
which they find easy of cultivation and sat-
isfaetory bloomers, while the culture Of the
sweet pea and the brilliant balsam affords
great satisfaction to the classes in the
third grade.
II always thought the zlnnia was such an
ugly. common flower" exclaimed a girl Of
the fourth grade, whose class is required
to give special study to the zinnia and the
poppy, but l am amazed at the beauty and
variety Of their coloring."
The nth grade take great pride in the
stately. Gamma and multi eolored geTanium.
which marks their special plat OF ground in
the garden, while the sixth study the diff
ferent varieties Of the lily and rejoice in
the abundance Of the dainty sweet alys-
sum which they are able to contribute as
the finishing touch to many a pretty bunch
of blossoms.
Some success in raising carnations and
verbenas from the seed has been obtained

wheelbarrows and small carts. carrying
baskets, boxes and bags, all eager to help.
The garden implements are placed in the
lower hall, each one carefully marked so
that none shall be made sad by losing his
property.
At the close OF the session the appointed
children step out, possess themselves of
their tools and stand in line awaiting or
ders from the teachers
The larger and stronger boys, with
wheelbarrows and spades, having previously
selected localities near by where fertile
soil or rich loan may be found, are soon
vigorously employed in loosening and pill
ing wheelbarrow and cart with material for
the enrichment of their garden beds.
Others are busy digging up the plot with
spade and garden fork, the girls and
smaller children following with hoe and
rake preparing the ground for the planting
which is to come later. Their bright
eyes, rosy cheeks, merry laughter and talk
are sufficient proof Of their keen enjoyment
of their unusual duties.
For a number of days the newly made
garden is left undisturbed to the warm in
f1uence OF the SUM- rays, and as soon as
conditions justify it the space is plotted
into the requisite number of beds, narrow
paths are made to mark the divisions.
The pupils then take possession OF their
ground and a healthy rivalry springs up as
to which class shall have the best appear
ing plot. One morning 1t was discovered
that one bed had been neatly bordered with
a band Of soil. In less than twenty-four
hours nearly every bed was seen similarly
adorned, such is the contagion Of a good
deed.
The time and method OF painting the
different seeds are carefully studied, and
at times little groups of the children may
be seen carefully marking the places for
planting, while others put the seeds in the
places marked for them. Every morning
the flower bed is a point to be visited and
a happy excitement always follows the dis
covery that the seeds have s~prouted and
are showing their tiny green leaves above
the surface. Right here valuable ~instruc-
tion is given in making the distinction be-
tween the flowers and the weeds and in the
transplanting of the young plants. The
care and the growth of the plants are mat
tiers Of absorbing interest and have been
wonderfully helpful in not only the develop
ment of the powers of observation, but also,

" grammar BEhuSG VI INV RNS
8 schools OF Omaha has been pro-
- ductive of more practical or val
uable results than tina Of Mature Study
This work is now regularly and specifically
incorporated in the prescribed course, and
10 each Of the nine grades below the High
school. including the kindergarten, there
are assigned definite subjects for study, so
that the puAI Who has completed the
work Of the grammar school has a fair
knowledge Of the commoner flowers, vege-
tables, trees and birds.
With the opening Of the fall term, which
usually occurs near the middle OF Septem-
Der, the attention Of the children is de-
voted to the collection and preservation OF
tho seeds. In the lessons in folding and
cutting, small paper boxes are made, great
care being taken to label each childs box
with his own name and the name OF the
seeds for which the receptacle is Intended.
II is interesting to note the eagerness with
which the children bring in the seeds, not
only of the kind required, but seeds Of
numerous sorts. The seed boxes are then
put away until the coming of the spring
time.
One OF the tangible results of the move
ment is seen in the pride and zeal displayed
by the children in the autumn, in bringing
to the school evidences of their home work
In horticulture, for. while on account Of
limited time and space we are confined TO
o few specimens Of flowers and vegetables,
so great is the interest created that the
pupils carry on to a considerable extent
original experiment and plant seeds of
various perennials at home. Great Is the
delight exhibited, not only by the donor,
but by his classmates as we'll, when some
embryo horticulturist brings to the school
room a gorgeous bunch of asters or
nasturtiums from his own garden, from
seeds Of his own planting and cultivation.
I recall the great admiration excited by one
little fellow who came into the school room
one morning in the later autumn bearing
q stalk Of corn fully eight feet in height
and having on Il two or three perfectly
developed ears Of corn. The seed from
which he had obtained this product he had
carried HON from the kindergarten the
previous spring. No recital Of v~alorous
deed could have commanded more perfect
attention than this small lads description
Of the process employed to secure results.
