DEEPENING WATER AT DOCK.

From Engraving Bureau Site.

To deepen the water in front Of the
dock used by Sanford & Brooks, on
the Potomac Park side Of the harbor
as loading point for the material be-
ing taken from the site of the new .bu-
reau of engraving and printing, a
dredging machine was yesterday placed
in position and the work will be push
ed so as not to delay the present NOV
ing Of the material
When the harbor was dredged the
machine did not dig close to the sea
wall of the park and trouble has been
experienced in handling the big light
ers. When loaded on low tides they
were often aground and to give wafer
enough for the tug to handle the light
er on all tides the dredging work is
being done. It is understood that the
water will be made eight or ten feet
deep. A pile driver is also at the dock
to enlarge the platform from which the
dug material is dumped into the scows

PLAN SCHOOL GARDENS
Teachers Urged to Arouse the
Enthusiasm of Their Pupils
in the Work.

Although winter has not yet run up
the white flag Of surrender. plans al
ready are under way in the public schools
for the spring and summer garden work.
A circular letter urging the teachers to
arouse the children to enthusiasm In
working to make Washington beautiful
by planting flowers was sent out yester-
day by Ernest l.. Thurston. assistant
superintendent Of schools.
The letter described the methods of
planting seeds and raising flowers. Spe-
cial emphasis is laid on raising nastur-
tiums, since that flower was voted the
Flower Of the National Capital for 1872
by the children of the schools. Every
yard will contain these flowers IL the
hopes Of leaders Of the movement ma
terialize.
The growth of flowers is one Of the
first things children are< taught when
they enter school. AS they advance they
receive some practical work in the higher
grades and in the high schools botany
Is an optional study.
While the termination of seeds and
blossoming Of plants form topics for dis
cussion in the lower grades and the
power of the leaves to make chlorophyll
dren, one of the principles which is
taught through all nature study in the
schools is cicic interest and civic pride.
In this manner the boys and girls are
taught the value of constructive work
over destructive work.
School gardens, which have been con-
Quoted IN the past under the direction of
Miss Susan b. Sipe. have proved of value
to the boys and girls. 1t is asserted, and
the gardens have been q source Of ma
terial profit. too. in the flowers and vege-
tables produced A hearty cooperation
has been evinced between the school au-
thorities this year concerning the flower
planting plans.
