The School Gardens.

When the school garden work was es-
tablished in this city a few years ago
The Star regarded 1t most important
development in the line of evolving the
children of Washington into useful mem
bers of the community. Apart from the
immediate effect of giving the school
buildings a more attractive setting and
bringing elements of beauty into the daily
life of the youngsters, this work had an
important influence in stimulating the
sense of home improvement. 1t is impos-
sible to estimate how large a part this
school garden enterprise has played in
the recent development of Washington s
park possibilities in the surroundings of
the homes of its people.
In another part of The Star today Is an
article which describes the present pro-
gram Of work in the cultivation Of the
school gardens. 1t is evident from this
account Of what is being done that the
children are not only faithfully but in
telligently discharging their obligations
and acquiring a sense Of proprietorship
which is exceedingly valuable in the at
titude Of the young people of the city
toward all public institutions. and espe-
cially the schools. Apparently there is a
wholesome rivalry between the groups Of
children and between individuals, a rival
~ that is wisely cultivated by the teach
ers in charge.
Throughout this statement of the pres
ent condition Of the work appears evil
dence Of a steady improvement not alone
in the quality Of the work, but in the at
titude of the children toward the gardens.
For instance, in one of the schools, where
there is a public playground, two years
ego those who went to the school yard
merely to play destroyed all the growing
things. So effectively has the lesson of
gardening been taught that now the
teachers have a hard time to get these
same children to stop work in the little
beds and plats.
The parents Of the children should ap-
preciate the value of this work in the
school gardens. 1t keeps the children out
Of mischief, engages them in something
practical and wholesome and gives them
sense of responsibility which is suscep-
tible Of development at home. The pa
rents can cooperate most effectively with
the teachers In insuring their presence at
the gardens on the day scheduled for
their contribution of labor. The little
gardeners are apt occasionally to forget
and the parents do not always think to
remind them. This form Of summer play
should be regarded not as a task, but as
a recreation work. and If viewed in this
spirit at the home as well as at the gar
dens themselves the school yards Of Wash
ington will quickly show the difference in
increase of attractiveness. and the chill
dren will be greatly benefited morally
and physically.

Parliament.

In the way of good reading we could
not ask anything better than a first-class
controversy between the house OF lords
and the house of commons over their
respective parliamentary rights and
privileges. There has been SO much talk
about either mending or ending the lords,
May foreigners have been led to wonder
if either thing Is possible. AS the pres
ent question relates to the purse-and
the pocket nerve everywhere Is sensitive
there is the basis for an old-fashioned
British scrap. The lords object to the
budget, and threaten to take action
against 1t.

MORE LIBEL.

The men behind are mad and fuming
Each growls and grumbles
About the time that she's consuming
As she fumbles.
The sour remarks are flying thickly
At the rear wicket.
Alas, a woman cannot quickly
Find a ticket.
There Is an immfnence Of warfare,
And trouble centers
About a woman paying carfare
As she enters.

STOCK JUDGING.

Stock judging and animal husbandry
are subjects of prime Importance and
bear directly upon the productive and
wealth producing resources of the
state The facilities for doing this
work at the A. c.. are wholly made
puate--a mere makeshift.
Any impartial observer or man of
good judgment upon examination can
not but arrive at the conclusion that
1t would require more than 100000
to place the agricultural college on an
equal footing with the other state
educational institutions--this after the
Institutions have utilized the appro-
priations made at the last session.
In other words the agricultural col
lege is kept at least 5000, 900 in arrears
of the other state educational institu-
tions-when as a matter Of fact and a
matter of business the better the A. C.
is supported and the larger it's enroll
ment becomes-the more productive
will be the state and the better will
be it's ability to support all state in
stitutions.
The question might well be raised
why should the farmers bear the
brunt of the states financial burdens
and in addition be compelled to make
bricks without straw"
