about the Seeds for Home Gardens.
Last year weather conditions were not
very favorable for good results in Home
Gardens. Last year weather conditions
were not very favorable for good re-
suits in Home Gardens. Let us hope
this year that we may outdo ourselves
in this particular line of work.
Teachers are expected to do some
work along this line in connection with
the school work. Teachers must be the
leaders and instigators in this line of
work. Our exhibits last year were ex-
cellent. About fifty or sixty schools
held district or township fairs or har-
vest festivals. We hope to do better
than this next year in this particular
line of work. We hope to supplement
this work by work in manual training,
cooking and sewing.
The superintendent recommends this
later kind of work in manner that the
larger girls will be encouraged to bake
a cake or sew &c. at home under the
tutorship of their mothers. Let the
mother be the teacher in this respect.
OF course the teacher can also do much.
Every teacher ought to encourage
this now, so that every boy or girl will
have several things ready along manu-
al training or sewing, or patching. or
mending DC. to place on exhibition
next fall in connection with the regular
agricultural school fair.

ton this year or not. | will inform
