Jamestown. ND, Jan. 24.-schools
Of the United States. as in foreign
countries. are taking up the subject
of gardening in connection with their
regular work with renewed interest,
according to Superintendent A. G.
Crane of the jamestown schools as
expressed in a lecture at Fargo.
Purpose Of Public Schools.
1.-The purpose of the public schools
has gradually undergone a change.
They now are making conscious effort
to fit the courses and methods to the
needs of all the children of all the
people. They are recognizing the two
classes of benefit to be impaired by
the facts and school influences and
are endeavoring to combine these"
says Mr.. Crane.
They realize that tho benefit of
the school atmosphere is not depen-
dent upon the subjects studied but
that A useful subject under equal
conditions and school influences may
he just as effective in inducing good
habits and ideals as any useless sub
5ect. The present aim is. then, to Sc
cure subjects ~d methods which will
best combine both classes of benefits.
In order to serve all the people and
properly combine benefits of facts
and school influences, both subjects
and methods must pass the test of
usefulness.
Test Of School Efficiency.
This ultimate test of all school
efficiency. usefulness. must not be
considered in a narrow monetary
sense hut must include anything
which improves earning capacity. in
creases happiness and serves as Il
foundation for uture acquisition or
gives It's owner sufficient satisfaction
in its mere possession. Many of the
most useful and satisfying things in
life have no mere monetary value.
Undoubtedly such great interest is
shown in school gardening because it
seems to have shown its a~daptability
to school activities. Outside agencies
have demonstrated that it is Il pract-
zeal occupation for school children
and that it correlates we'll with pres
ent school subjects. Gardening has
been a regular part of the common
school courses in Europe for nearly
a century. England. Nova Scotia and
Canada have successfully operated
school gardens for over twenty years.
The first public school garden was
established at RoXbury. Mass, by
Henry L. Clapp under the direction
of Massachusetts Horticultural socie-
ty, in 1891, though the movement did
not gain n very extensive Roadway
except during the past ten years.
Development OF Garden Idea.
"The pictures are the ones loaned
by the United States department of
agriculture and are some Of the same
n were shown in San Francisco last
summer at the National Educational
association. The pictures of the gar
dens at Hampton institute, Virginia.
show very clearly the work done
there which was Of great importance
to the movement as many teachers
became acquainted with the work at
that institution.
Normal schools were possibly the
first institutions to take the move
ment seriously. The state normal at
Hyannis, Mass, early established
school gardens which have been very
successful. Some beautiful views of
this garden were shown and also
views Of their public school course OF
study, indicating the great value of
garden activities in correlating with
Dther branches.

JAMESTOWN SCHOOL CHILDREN HAVE
BENEFITED THROUGH GARDEN PLAN

Pictures Of the Dewitt Clinton
park. N. Y, showed remarkable
transformation of a dumping ground
into a beautiful children's garden;
pleasing both for it's beauty and for
its beneficient effects upon the chill
dren.'
Children Like Garden Work.
The pictures showed conclusively
how well gardening is adapted to
children in the common school as was
noted from the fact hat the garden
kindergarten through the grammar
grades. Many pictures were shown
of fine gardens in Cleveland, Ohio,
| where the Home Gardening associa-
ton has achieved such marvellous re-
suits.
The economic value of the projects
was perhaps best illustrated by the
vegetable gardens of Yonkers, N. Y.
Among the Dakota school gardens
summers enterprise at Fessenden
and at jamestown. These views in
cluded pictures of the gardens and
the gardens under different stages of
cultivation. The view which raised
the most enthusiasm undoubtedly the
most beautiful view of the entire set
was the 1903 jamestown garden. In
"A national Photographic contest this
picture received first prize and is Il
credit to North Dakota climate and
soil no less thai to h push and en-
terprise Of our citizens.
The jamestown Garden.
The jamestown garden has been
in successful operation for four
years" he said. "Seventy-five or more
children have prepared the ground,
planted the seed and given entire at
tention to the garden during the long
vacation. The best gardeners range
from 9 to 10 years Of age INC all
take Il very active interest in the
work. Discipline has been very easy
as the interest has been SO great as
to make 1t unnecessary.
"The townpeople have endorsed it
at all times and co-operated heartily
in its support. The ladies club, the
merchants. the school board, the
mayor and city council, the railroad
and the schools nave all had a share
in its maintenance. If it leads no
farther it will have been eminently
worth while as an example of sue
cessful civic cooperation.
Benefits of the Plan.

full. natural livelihood.
AS the school endeavors to awak-
en- the ambitions and ideals Of the
pupils and give them greater capacity
for happiness and enjoyment SO the
schools must also provide the means
OF attainment. Courses must be in
stituted which will enable the stu
dents to better their economic condi-
lions. If, as Emerson says. true prog
ress Is best achieved by hitching ones
wagon to a star the school must not
only point out the star but must also
furnish the wagon and harness. True
happiness. the securing Of which
must be the ultimate aim of the
school. must consist both of the ca
pacity for enjoyment and the means
Iof attaining It,"

Chief emphasis was laid upon the
report of the corporation commits

the steel corporation of its railroad
properties. This point lost some Of
its force as a bear argument when it
was recalled that such a conclusion
was indicated in the part Of the COM
missioners report previously made
known. At that time it was argued
that the corporation was able to MAIN

its control Of ore lands and facilities
for the transportation Of ore. The
