Feature in Schools During sprin!

Feature in Schools During Spring
Term-T.-R. Lessons.
The study of scientific agriculture Is
to be a feature in the schools OF the
city during the spring term. Under this
head the teachers are advised to
adapt and apply their knowledge in
botany. zoology, physiology, chemistry
and physics to pupils under their
charge Books bearing upon the SCI
ence outlines are available In the SUI
perintendent's office AS no definite
hour is set for these studies the
teachers may take such time during
the day as is most convenient For
some grades ten minutes at beginning
of session or at close Of the afternoon
may be available.
Superintendent Palmer had provided
the teachers with valuable suggestions
for all the grades, covering the study
OF elementary science and agriculture,
and those pertaining to flowers and
plants are particularly comprehensive,
and helpful. The vegetable garden is
to also have especial attention.
In this connection Mr.. Palmer says:
eleven lessons on agriculture have
appeared in the Times-Republican I
would advise the pupils above the
sixth grade to consult the T.-R. for
the lessons which have already been
published, and that they paste them
in book in their lesson order. Also
that they use these and future articles
for a basis of agriculture study. The
first article appeared about six weeks
ago, and two have been published each
week, usually in the Saturday and
Monday issues of the paper. Begin the
study of these lessons Immediately"
