When it was known that the OIL
laden vessels were to pass into the
Railway slip between the Texan on
one side and the Aloha and Curtis on
the other side, the agents sent word
to Captain Kelly of the Curtis to shift
her from the slip to the Hackfeld
Wharf. This was done because of the
heated condition of the Texan, whose
steel sides, according to best reports,
gave forth heat of 240 degrees. The
agents and the captain, too, for that
matter. did not care to have an oil

went aboard the Fullerton and direct

the Fearless grazed the sides of the

such hands hands which produced masterpieces;
but, being unable to understand the executive
side of life, they have died in gnrrets for the
want OF bread Since it is impossible to make

phase OF educational work. At first such gar
dcns met with serious objection from many class
es of people, but wherever they have been intro
duced they have been of such value that they
have won approval on all sides.
An education that does not ht person to be

State funds continually appropriated for the
establishment and maintenance of our public
schools. Since less than per cent. of our
boys and girls who to their living from
the land attend agricultural schools or colleges,
il seems important that common and ele-
mentary schools should teach something OF the
rudimentary methods of agriculture, end help in
a greater degree to fit them for their life en-
ployment.
Where there is sufficient space to allow an in
ovidual garden for each pupil, better work can
be accomplished, as it develops the individual
characteristics. Even ii the gardens are small a
great deal OF good may be done Sometimes the
produce raised is great inducemcnt to the boys
and when it is sold by the school il often furnish
es fund for pictures and books, besides furnish
ing enough to prepare the garden for the follow
ing year.
To overcome the lack Of space which exists
about many school buildings vacant lots may
often be utilized to good advantage Unsiahtly
vacant lots are nuisance, and the effect of va,
cant lots which used dumping grounds are
demoralizing to ncighborhood, from sanitary
and scenic standpoint

children are injured in our schoolrooms by un-

school garden has, l believe, in no instance ever
prevented the pupils from going through the re-
quired curriculum already existing in the pub
lie schools In fact where school gardens have
been conducted for many years, those pupils hav-
ing the gardens have been more rapid in mental
moral and physcal development than those not
having them. What greater argument can any
one advance in favor of school garden?
