School Gardens In Washington.

The school garden movement IN
Washington, which started humbly q
few years ago. has so strongly appeal
ed to the children and their parents
that with comparatively little assist
ance from the public funds It has
thrived amazingly. Already a marked
change Is observable not only In the
immediate surroundings Of the school
,uildings themselves. but In all parts
n the town at the homes Of the little
Ines. They have been taught plant
love In terms which have In many
cases never been presented to them be-
fore. BY their personal participation In
the work of making gardens. In prepar-
Ing the ground. selecting and planting
the seeds, caring for the sprouts and
the plants and finally plucking the
blooms Of their own cultivation they
have gained a sense Of responsibility
which makes for the improvement OF
the whole town

Mr.. Lancaster thinks there Is no place

thing in his power to make it one Of
the prettiest towns in the country. Ii

not all that has engrossed the big psaia
Of Sam Lancaster, says q writer il.

the Waterworks he saw chance to Or
things. Jackson had no park, apd nea'

raised roadway. Sam Lancaster made
the fill, and before any one knew what
he was up to he had built a fine lake
ON the site whence came the earth Tor

then drives, bridges, boats, Niles (mal

An unsightly railway yard adjoineu
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 grinned when hr
saw that Sam Lancaster had actually
parked and fenced a part Of hi-
right of way. Now travellers on that
