How It Is Conducted in Some Of the
Colorado Public Schools.
The kitchen and flower garden work
of the public schools of Colorado is
given prominent place in the bien-
NAL report of Miss Katherine l.. Craig,
state superintendent of public instruc.
ton, which has just been issued. Miss
Craig originated this idea, the purpose
of which she explains in her report is
ito teach the children how to plant
and grow flowers and vegetables by
permitting them to do the actual
work"
Eight schools in Denver have
kitchen gardens, including the Sheri-
dan, Grant, Sherman, Broadway, Smed-
ley, Emerson, Logan and the Mission
school, The other counties have taken
great interest in the work, Las Animas
alone reporting $50 gardens.
The report contains an Illustration
of the garden connected with the
school at the town of Las Animas.
There are 1913 children at work on the
lots. Another illustration shows the
garden at Gilpin. A kitchen garden
plat as developed by Gilpin school is
also shown, giving a model for the
best arrangement of the different
flower and vegetable beds.

NEW CITY HALL
ORDER IS RUSHED
East Chicago Councilmen
Accept Plans for New
Structure.
Especial to Lake County TImes.)

East Chicago, Ind, Aug. 20.-East
Chicago IS to have a city hall at last
and is to have it in spite OF the pro-
tests of the people Of Indiana Harbor.
According to the Harbor delegation
which was out in force at the council
meeting last evening. the city hall
measure was railroaded through, and
the Harbor contingent had no more to
say about the matter than If that city
had been Hessville instead of the big
end of a great industrial center.
The councilmen accepted the plans
for the $40.0 600 structure and it was
decided to erect it on the lot where
the old dilapidated structure, that is
now doing service as a city hall, now
stands.
The protests to the location were
numerous. but the necessity Of getting
the measure through with the greatest
speed possible expedited matters and
to open the question as to the suit
ability of site would be to endanger
the whole measure.
The people of Indiana Harbor, who
compose the majority of the citizens OF
the municipality known as East Chica-
go, have been threatening for some
Tune 10 revolt, ana III Ildl way secure
| representation equal to that of East
Chicago and 1t is this that has moved
the people of East Chicago to quick
measures.
The East Chicago citizen knows that
if Indiana Harbor was allotted the pro-
portionate number OF councilmen, they
would not stand a ghost of a show tc
get a city hall or anything else and sc
they are making hay while the sur
shines"
In addition to the accepting of the
plans for the city hall the councilmer
threw a big sop to Indiana Harbol
when they also accepted plans for the
half million dollar sewer that is to be
built at the Harbor in the near future
and will make the Calumet river the
sewage dumping ground for another
city in the Calumet region.
