According to a plan of Howard

Manhattan and Richmond boroughs.
New York thousands of boys who at
tended the city Fairgrounds will be
organized into a body to be known as
the Parks Protective league. Tomp-
kins square has started with a men,
bership of 1000. and ii is expected
that all the other grounds in the city
will be we'll represented.
The purpose of the league is, first
OF all. to protect and preserve the
Fairgrounds. 1t is also hoped to en-
courage by this method of individual
responsibility the self government
spirit that is playing such a promi-
nent part in the schools of the city at
present. .
Last year the group system prevail
ed in the Fairgrounds, but there was
no concerted effort in the direction Of
preservation. This league plan, ac-
cording to Mr. Bradstreet. will receive
its first trial in New York. Park Com
missioner Slower stands back of the
organization and believes that in the
future the Fairgrounds will be kept in
first class condition because of the eff
forts of the members Of the league.
All boys between the ages Of twelve
and seventeen will be admitted to
membership.

north side OF the ground had been so
long neglected that not even a blade
OF grass grew on 1t. The ground was

room was left to allow each child to

soon as the first warm days betoken

AMERICA NOW TAKES LEAD
IN THE IDLE RICH" CLASS
Only 80 Per Cent Of Population Works
London Hears.

There are more of the sidle rich" class
In America than in any other country.
according to a return made to tho
London board Of trade by G.. Il. Ask.
with. lie shows that less than "a
per cent of the people In the United
States have any gainful occupation.
The data are compiled from the latest
government statistics in the different
countries.
The United Kingdom of Great Brit.
ain comes next, with only II per cent
OF the people ever employed In any
monetary pursuit. The next countries
in rank of idleness are:
Hungary, 44.S1; Germany, 4551; Bel.
gium, 1903; Italy, SOIL; France. 81 .27;
Austria, 51.53
These figures are surprising, so far
rs America is concerned, because 1t
has been regarded as a comparatively
new and developing coutltry where
everybody hustles after the almighty
dollar. The showing is good for the
continental Kingdoms, which are popu-
larly supposed to be top heavy with an
idle nobility.
The board OF trade figures show
that Great Britain Is now the least
agricultural of any of the great pow
ers OF the west. The percentage of
persons engaged in agriculture in sew
eral of the countries is us follows:
United Kingdom, 12&e; GermanN.
35.11; United States. 1864; France,
41.42; Italy, 59.O6; Austria, 6o.sO; Hun
gary. 7O.15.
Askwith's figures disclose the fact
that the number of unemployed In
Germany In 1908 was 3 per cent as
against 2S per cent in New York state.
There are more textile and clothing
workers in Germany than in Great
Britain.
In Germany more than 21,0O0,00O of
the population are insured against ac-
cidents.
There are more multimillionaires in
America than In any other country,
the returns Indicate, but In England,
France, Holland and Relgium a great
er proportion of the people are in in
dependent circumstances.

With the first faint suspicion OF

of the country take Il renew ID interest
in their nature study work. when
such study exists, and beg in to look
forward hopefully to the time wher
they can discard their books and learn
their lessons about plants from nature

children of many cities and towns
throughout the country-their out OF
doors nature study work In Wash.
ington the children from the low grades
up to the girls who are learning to
teach other children all have to do
some practical nature work. In the
winter months this takes the form OF
classroom work and lessons from text
books. But when spring comes these
are discarded, partially at least. and,
armed with hoes and rakes and the
other necessary requisites. they march
away to their gardens and miniature
farms and find out for themselves just
how and why things grow.
Practically all of Washington's So.
600 school children are learning to be
gardeners.
Much of the work done in the green
house of the department of agriculture
by the normal girls is planting and
growing plants for schoolroom study
and decoration. All the plants that
are used in the various graded schools
throughout the city are supplied from
this one source. The plants are grown
from cuttings or seeds in the fall.
These are carefully watched and tend
ed during the winter months, and by
the time spring arrives there are sew

stock the school gardens or the school
rooms. Not only are window box
