THE GARDEN SCHOOL.
How Children of Newton Were Taught
 to Beautify Home Grounds.

How Children of Newton Were Taught
 to Beautify Home Grounds.
 Writing In Maxwell's Talisman Of the work of the garden school in New. ton, Mrs. II. A. Elliott says:
 An object lesson to the citizens of Newton was the garden school con- ducted by the ladies of the Social Sci ence club of that town during the sum- mer of 1906. Assured by George II Maxwell of the Home Crofters' guild Of the Talisman of the free services of an experienced garden director, provided the club could defray the further eS pense of q garden, committee of five ladies was appointed from the club t. see what could be done.
 First they obtained the use of 8 piece of vacant land on Jackson road, which was then an open grass plot. Then an appeal was made by the com mittee to the department of agriculture at Washington for free seeds, which were promptly sent. The committee sent circular letter to about fifteen of the enterprising business men of New ton telling them of the plans for the garden school and asking them if they were sufficiently interested in the ex pertinent to give 1t some financial sup port.
 The response was quick, and at the end of week we had the required $10O, and the director went 10 work One hundred and six gardens by 35 feet were planted by as many different children from the Nonantum district and the names of as many more inter- ested children were placed on the wait ing list
 A few of these children, having learn ed how under the direction at the gar den school, went back to the home dooryards which had for all time previ ously been used for dumps, cleared away the debris, spaded up the earth and planted seeds which they procured gratis from the director. The reward was a scarlet runner at the doorstep 6 row each of lettuce, radishes and beans and for garden flowers nasturtiums. sunflowers and sweet alyssum. One of the boys carried some vegetables from his home garden into the eXhibi tion at Horticultural hall and was awarded prize. Could these children think you, ever again be contented to live in dump instead of a flower gar den? These girls and boys learned the law of cause and effect: that the soil through healthful, pleasant labor will produce food supplies sufficient to nour. ish the bo'..': that debris, squalor and untidiness I:"v be supplanted by clean illness, order ;!ad beauty and many oth er lessons, not thc least of which were pride in ownership and respect for oth CT peoples rights.

0iayor and SIeioher,

xn the first number of the Atlantic 16Gnthly Ralph Waldo Emerson had . eoen called "Brahma," which puzzled Gcff critics and common readers. @e@e said 1t was the grea test poem of Seae century. Some said 1t was non tense. The first verse ran as follows:
 If the red slayer think he stays.
 Or If the slain think he is slain,
 I keep and pass and turn again.
 That winter it happened that rela- tave of the poet Longfellow, living in drz0ther state, bought a sleigh, and in a camiIy letter to the cousins in Cam. h9fdge there was vail lest the Janu- gry thaw which had followed the pur- fhase should keep them from enjoying &e gay cutter that season. When the letter was answered, Longfellow cop tfhGted this verse, which, 1t Is said, AeS never been printed before:
 1o - ON THE PURCHASE OF 4
 SLEIGH
 If the red seigher think he sleighs. Or if the sleighin think 1t Is sleighin,
 They know not well the subtle ways Of snow. that comes and goes again

But road building is not all that has engrossed the big braiD of Sam Lancaster, says @ writer in Breeders Gazette. AS manager 0! the waterworks he saw chance to dc things. Jackson had no park, and nea, the waterwOrks there was needed a raised roadway. Sam Lancaster made the fill, and before any one knew what he was up to he had Euilt a fine lake on the site whence came the earth for the fill Smaller lakes near by cam> then drives, bridges, boats, lilies mal

 An unsightly railway yard adjoined the waterworks. The railway was ask ed for a few cars of earth. Presto. Sam made the yard and the park join. Grass, flowers, shrubs, beauty. order, seats, comfort, inspiration, hope. all came out of that old sink hole. And the manager only grinncd when he saw that Sam Lancaster had actually parked and fenced q part of his right of way. Now travellers on that railway will pass by and say, Jack
