her position, Miss Offutt is also secretary
of the state board of pardons and keeps q
record of everything in connection with tina
thousand and one applications for pardon
from inmates of Alabama mines and prisl
ons. She must have a familiarity with
the statutes of the state which relate to the
Office of governor, since questions bearing
upon state laws and statutes are constantly
coming in, and many novel points raised.
She must also indorse the action of the
governor upon such applications, as well
as conduct much of the correspondence of
the executive department. GraciousnesS and
gentlewomanly qualities are no less char
acteristic of Miss Ofiutt than the knowledge
of her duties the efficiency with which
those duties are performed, and her APP
pointment to such responsibilities is not
only tribute to her exceptional ability, but
incidentally recognizes the fact that there
are women who can keep a secret.

boys below the seventh grade have nothing.
With these facts in mind a sixth grade class
of boys from the Bradley School-a school
in the vicinity of the department grounds,
was chosen. Once a week while the girls
of the school are at the cutting and fitting
school the boys report on the grounds for
lessons In gardening. During March and
the first half of April until the ground is
in condition to be worked the lessons are
conducted In the Normal School greenhouse.
BY means of simple experiments the COM
mon soils and their water retentive power,
the use of fertilizers the value of cultiva-
ton and seed planting are taught, so that
by the time the outdoor work begins the
hard work necessary is a pleasure because
1t is done with intelligence.
To obtain early results, lettuce and toma-
toes are started in seed boxes in the green
house. The boys are taught to pot the
Seeding plants. to Shift to larger pots and
to propagate plants by cuttings. None of
this work Is done mechanically. Reasons
for everything are given to them.
The first of the outdoor work is the most
difficult-the laying off of the garden plots
Much study and thought are given by those
In charge to the arrangement of the gar
dens, but the actual measuring of plots
and paths is done entirely by the boys and
is of the most practical value in their train
ing. The cultivation of the habit of ac-
curacy is one of the strong claims for gar
dening educational factor
city boy has little opportunity to be-
come familiar with the growth of the COM
mon products of the United States and yet
his geography lessons require him to recite
at length upon them. To make the sixth
grade geography of vital interest the gar
dens have small plots of the common grains
corn, wheat, rye, oats, barley-and the
common fiber plants-cotton, fax and hemp
In addition to these there will be a portion
devoted to herbs, another to peanuts and
plots of flowers massed according to color.
The main body of the garden consists of
sixteen plots, each nine by twenty feet and
each owned and cultivated by boy.
Everything that he raises is his own. To
produce a landscape effect the sides of the
individual plots bordering the main walk
will be edged by flowers, the remainder
being planted with vegetables.

There is the school garden whose purpose
is decoration of school grounds. and there
is the garden which is designed to teach the
subjects of horticulture and agriculture In
establishing a school garden a locality
should consider it's need and adopt the one
that will benefit the community. Such has
been the course in this city, Washington al
present concerning itself only with school
ground improvement. The garden for civic
Improvement necessarily carries with 1t
some Observation-Disclosures of soils and
their Improvement; acquaintance with the
common garden flowers: artistic arrange
ment of plants; destructive insects and in
the city a few birds. The need of garden
designed simply to teach plant life has not
as yet been felt here. Philadelphia, New
York, Hartford and Dayton began with
SUCH but until Washington school grounds
are such that it may be proud of them its
energies will be directed wholly toward
making them attractive.
Locking forward to the time when the
need of more intelligent instruction to the
children will be felt. the Department of
Agriculture has granted Normal School No.
! the use of little more than an eighth of
an acre of land west of the main building
for the purpose of developing a model gar
den, whose object IS to teach horticulture
and agriculture. The school is endeavoring
to make the most of Its opportunity this
year, as the building operations in progress
on the grounds will make this It's last sea-
son. 1t is affording an excellent training
for the students preparing to teach, as it
gives them opportunity to assist in de-
veloping a new line of educational work.

~ URING the past few weeks The Star
has been printing on successive Sun
ID days, articles descriptive of the
- school garden work and other
means now in vogue In this city for
the development of a more attractive
capital 1t has shown the deplorable condl-
lions which exist in so many city blocks
where the back yards are offensive to the
senses, the inClosing wooden walls serving
as screens to shut off the view from the
streets, but not from rear windows. 1t has
described the home gardening enterprise of
the youngsters who have been encouraged
by their teachers to take pride in the Gull
tivation of the soil In the domestic prem
ises. 1t has al some length explained the
process of school garden instruction which
has for one object the Improvement of the
school premises to cure the unlovely con-
ditions which exist in many places
1t has been apparent from these articles
that Washington is on an upgrade in re-
spect to its external appearance. but more
this work of betterment is inspired by a
genuine love of the soil and its products,
and that love Is the result of dilgent sac
rlhCing work by the public school teachers
the fruits of whose labors are far more sub
stantial than the seasons output of plants.
For in consequence Of this propaganda there
are now at work in the District many thou
sands of young gardeners who will never
lose their fondncss for the soil and will be
the better citizens in later years for their
instruction in gardening.
