Honor to Great Sea Fighter.

More than century ago the re-
mains OF John Paul Jones were in
tered in a secluded cemetery in Paris.
There, unmarked and unknown, has
been his grave unit. but few days
ago. While the resting place OF other
cherished revolutionary heroes have
been the Mecca OF devoted Americans,
his was unnoticed and unknown. At
last, however, the natural and due
gratitude of our people resulted III
discovering those sacred ashes. Our
people feel instinctively that debt
OF gratitude is being discharged, and
are pleased to note that proper respect
will be paid to this great hero and
that soon he will rest in American
soil and among American heroes. 1t
is fitting and proper that when his re-
mains, so long in foreign land and
among foreign people, shall again
reach the shores OF the nation for
whose existence he 80 valiantly
fought, the whole American people
should with one accord do homage to
his memory.
When the dark cloud OF want hung
lowering over the American camp;
when the bitter cold chilled the
sparse covered bodies; when keen
hunger had transformed patriotism
into despair; when the devoted patri
OTIS saw but empty Golfers and empty
guns, then like gifts from heaven
came the fruits of the daring exploits
OF John Paul Jones, giving strength to
the arm, warmth to the blood, sinews
OF war, courage and renewed patriot
ism.
10 him, more than any one man
except Washington, was due the sue
cess of American arms. Yet political
jealousy, social favorites, financial
prestige, robbed him not only of the
rank to which he was entitled, but Of
the fruits OF his victories and Of the
gratitude OF his countrymen. 1t was
not until his heart could no longer re-
joice in it that the full value Of his
services to his country was conceded
| Now. when to him lt can bring NO
recompeuse, afford no joy, we are
about to pay to his memory the HON.
age which his countrymen owed yet
refused him.
Though injustice has bsen done him
yet henceforth in the halls OF ia me
with the names of those whose deeds
Of valor in the cause of Liberty have
made them immortal shall appear the
name of John Paul Jones, and under
meath shall be written these words

HUBBARD SCHOOL.
By Horton Simpson, Principal.


An attempt has been made to grow
privet-hedge, bordering the walks in front
of the school. In preparing the ground
trench eighteen inches deep, twelve inches
wide and having a total length of $50 feet
vas dug. After removing the clay and
gravel, the trench was filled with manure
and rich soil, secured from adjoining
premises About 700 hedge cuttings, fur
nished by the Agricultural Department,
were then planted. Most of the cuttings
took root, and there is good promise of an
attractive hedge. Recent paintings of fresh
cuttings have been made to fill in the
vacant spaces.
The lawn has been improved by being
fortified from time to time and by the
sowing of grass seed on the sparsely seeded
places.
The following shrubbery has also been
planted: Lilac. hydrangea, Forsythia,
Japonica. The shrubs are all growing and
add materially to the appearance of the
school.
The interior grounds have been prepared
for the spring planting of vines and flowers
We have within the grounds a border a foot
wide and extending the entire length of
the fence about 325 feet, which has been
dug to the depth of a foot Lime, manure
and rich soil were hauled by the pupils
from places within a radius of from 100 to
800 feet, and a fine place for the planting
secured. A few rose bushes and vines were
planted along this border last year and
indicate fair growth for the coming year.
The above results have been accomplished
with considerable labor and some difficulty
especially in the matter of securing good

FRANKLIN SCHOOL.
By Susan B. SIpe. Normal School.

Q E
The garden at the Franklin has been
well established for two years.
The work is conducted by the normal
school and the graded schools of the build
ing. 1t has been a very important ad
dition to the equipment of the Normal
School, the student-teachers receiving
training in 1t for work in the city schools.
The history of its development differs but
little from that OF the accompanying ac-
counts Of the efforts at other buildings.
The arduOus work in the beginning, the
struggle with clay soil. the lack of tools,
the waste of fifty feet Of hose through the
necessity of attaching ii TO a drinking fau-
Get III the play room, together with vandal-
ism. have developed the conquering spirit
Of the children. The childrens enthusiasm
is the one sustaining feature and all the
distheartening conditions the teachers con-
tend with. Interest is never tagging. Car
depers talk Of the succession of bloom.
With the children it is always a succession
of interest The first grass TO appear the
first time the hose is used, the first moving

of the lawn. the first nasturtium keep the
garden fever at its height.
At the Franklin, voluntary committees
have cared for the garden during the sum-
mer. These committees serve one hour
week for three vacation weeks, moving the
lawn, watering the grass, wedding and
working the soil. Supervision by one of
the teachers is necessary. So satisfactory
are the results that one feels paid for Civ

teachers during 1904-19o5 is little short of
marvellous. The District authorities have
given $500 worth of soil, few tools and a
small amount OF hose. To the teachers,
Supt. Stuart and the Department of Agricul-
ture the credit belongs. Civic pride has
been aroused. The teachers are convinced
of the fact that unless the work is put upon
firm foundation by them the unsightly
conditions of Washington school yards will
continue indefinitely. The cooperation of
parents and press has been particularly
gratifying. AS 1t always has been and
always will be in public work there has
been an occasional adverse criticism To
one who feels inclined that way my advice
is Visit the nearest school yard and then
turn your talents to helping these earnest
teachers in their efforts. The children are
benefited physically, intellectually and
morally. Every case of improvement is re-
Elected in the neighborhood. Property is
more desirable in the vicinity of a we'll

which teaches better living should be up

HENRY SCHOOL.
By Miss A. A. Chesney. Principal.

. =
Behold. a sower went forth to SOW"
What teacher has not self-applied the par
able. rejoicing over the good fruit. prone
to give more credit to the watering and
digging that produced It than to the good
soil provided by nature; lamenting over the
failures and too apt to think that the
wicked one" snatched away the precious
seed. But what teacher ever dreamed until
recently, of wrestling with literal soil, literal
seed and literal plants? More work to
do" groaned the Flooding teacher. An
other fad" carped the ever-ready critic of
the public schools. But teacher and critic
alike fall silent before the enthusiasm of
the children. their delight in even the hard
est part of the work, and the eagerness
with which they look forward to the COM
ing of the flowers.
T. l cannot speak OF results from my own
experience, this spring marks the be-
ginning of our school garden, but 1t may
be of interest to tell of our plans and of
the preparations we have made to carry
them out. a strip on the east side of the
yard has been apportioned among tho
twelve schools in the building affording to
each patch three feet by twelve Another
smaller strip adjoining on the north is
owned in common. Pupils from the fourth
grade through the eighth have prepared
their own patches, while those of the first
three grades have been worked for them
by the larger boys. Each grade takes part
in the planting and care of the gardens
and each selects its own flowers although
the general plan is alike in all: A vine for
the background, tall hardy plant next
and finally, smaller flower for the border
The story of our beginnings, like that of
all pioneers, is one of difficulties surmount-
ed and toll endured. Tools were borrowed
and work on the uninviting ground begun.
AS the soil was dug up, the part not too
full of clay was sifted and saved This
was necessary as the amount of good soil
sent to the building was not nearly enough
and the boys were kept busy, even with
the addition of three loads obtained by
one of the teachers, securing supplies from
the neighborhood. When the strip was dug
the required depth, a layer of pebbles was
placed on the bottom, over this a coating
of manure, and finally the soil that had
been carefully sifted and mixed with rich
earth.
AS l said before, we have nothing vet to
show for our labor. although our hopes are
high, but If healthy, hearty enjoyment Of
work adds to ones mental and physical
well-being, our pupils have obtained much
by their digging and planting. Each teach
er has called my attention to the sturdy
efforts of some notorious "loiterer along
the fowery path of knowledge" and no
charm could work better results than:
Children, if the lessons are satisfactory
this morning, you may have an hour in the
