devote all the time to directing the
garden work.
The close supervision that such a
teacher will be able to give will in
sure greater success for the gardens
and will familiarize the children with
the problems of plant production and
utilization. By cooperative method
all surplus vegetables and fruits will
either be marketed or canned and pre-
served for sale.
In announcing the new work, DIR.
Claxton declares:
"School gardening will develop hab-
its of industry; an appreciation of the
value of money as measured in terms
Of labor; and realization that every
man and woman must make his or
her own living, and contribute to the
welfare of the community.
Experiments already have shown
that with proper direction an average
child can produce in an eighth of an
acre of land from $50 to 500 worth
of vegetables. This would add more
to the support of the family than
could be purchased with the same
child's wages working in factory,
shop, or mill.
eff children can contribute to the
families support while in school, it
will make it possible for them to at
tend school three or four years longer
than they now do. This is a thing
more and more desirable, since educa-
ton for life and citizenship can not
be obtained before the age Of L."

THE CHILDRENS STORY

hoped she would wear them the night
Of the party to please him.
Winona accepted them with a queer
little smile, and | am sure she re-
membered then that Prince Charlie
didn't like barefoot dolls.
At last the night of the party ar
rived amidst great furry and excite
ment. Every girl-doll feared she
would be late and hoped her gown
would be the prettiest one there, every
boy-doll feared there wouldn't be
supper enough to go around.
The party was to be held in gor-
geous space in the rose garden which
was very pretty and sweet with per-
fume. The grass made lovely soft
carpet, numerous fire flies made
plenty of light, and Billy Taddles Of
Twiggledown furnished the music.
Every doll was wondering whom
Prince Charlie would ask for the
first game, and l am sure every girl
doll hoped the honor would be hers.
Dolly Grey and Blue Bell were very
fine indeed. They simpered and
tossed their curls and hoped Prince
Charlie would show his good taste
by choosing one of them.
One two -six-seven
chimed the big hall clock, and just
as the last stroke died away there
was a little stir among the dolls, a
craning of necks and then a giggle.
Winona had come.
But such a queer little Winona.
You will laugh when | tell you how
she looked She wore the beads and
the dress Prince Charlie had given
her, and it was a pretty dress too
made very short on purpose to show
eff those pretty velvet slippers, only
-Winona couldn't show them off for
she didn't have them on.
She was barefoot!
Winona really was a queer dolly,
don't you think so?
Now, Dearies, I'll tell you the rest
of the story about Winona next week.
And Pm waiting for those nice let
tiers. Who is going to write me a
nice long letter for this page? Five
little girls have joined our club-who
will be the sixth? Little boys are
welcome too, don't forget that.

School And Home Gardening

With a special appropriation from
congress, the United States Bureau
Of Education has just begun the work
of investigation and promotion of
home and school gardens. The new
division will be under the direction Of
a specialist in school gardening and
an assistant, both of whom are to
be experts in this form of educational
activity. Miss Ethel Gowans, a grad
uate of the New York State College
of Agriculture at Ithaca, N. Y, is
temporarily in charge of the work.
By means of personal visitation,
correspondence, and publications it is
the plan of the Bureau to cooperate
with school boards throughout the
United States in school and home
garden work. Investigation has al
ready, shown that many cities have
made considerable progress in school
gardens, but practically no informa-
ton on the subject is available. The
first task of the division will be to
suSply His information.
Eventually it is hoped that every
city school will have a teacher en-
ployed twelve months in the year who
knows gardening, both theoretically
and practically. During the school
year this teacher will give instruction
in nature study, elementary science
and gardening in the morning and in
the afternoon direct the gardens at
the homes Of the children. During
the summer vacation the teacher will

Let me see, Riddles, | was going
TO tell you what happened when
P2lce Charlie noticed how strangely
Ina was treating him.
This is what happened: Prince
Charlie, handsome Prince Charlie
suddenly realized that he liked
Winona better than he had ever liked
any other doll in his life, which made
the other dolls jealous, especially
Blue Bell and Dolly Grey, who
treated Winona as rudely as they
possibly could.
And Winona-what do you suppose
she did when she found out that
Prince Charlie wished to favor her
with his princely liking?
She laughed at him!
imagine my little readers what
an Independent spirit little Winona
must have had TO laugh at this bonny
prince whom she secretly liked.
And then when Prince Charlie knelt
before her in his most courtly fash
ion and begged her to like him in
stead of Date, the rag doll, and he
would make her a princess, the envy
of every doll for miles around, Wi
mona quit laughing and looked very

FiAlly she said; Prince Charlie, if
you will give a grand party here at
Kettle-Drum farm and invite all the
dolls at Lockwood and Twiggledown
as guests, will give you my decision,
providing you will choose me for your
partner in the first game"
Now you may be sure that Prince
Charlie FASTENED to give his consent;
in fact, he was secretly delighted at
the prospect of party, for dolls like
parties, nearly if not quite, as well as
real little boys and girls do.
The news of the party spread
quickly, and every doll from Blue Bell
and Dolly Grey down to humble Date
the rag doll, begged of their mistress
a new gown for the occasion, and
Prince Charlie sent to the nearest
town for a lovely pink dress, a string
of beads and the dearest little pair
of velvet slippers you ever saw, all
of which he presented to Winona
with a fowery speech. He said he

YOUTH


By Cleatus L. Mason, Chicago, Ill.
When in the first bright bloom of youth,
Pursuing pleasure prelude to future sorrow,
How few of us say with truth
We think of life's great morrow
When like the flower youths beauties fade
In lifeS great inevitable fall,
Then we shall see what we have made,
Of our young lives; Yea one and ALL
So to us the power is given,
To make young lives what we may
So when from youth is riven,
We reap in autumn what sown in May.
He who little thought of aftermath
When life all a rosy path;
Walls loud when from him youth is shOrn
To find fe'S autumn bed of thorn.
Let be careful then in May,
What we leave there way;
And in Him place every trust,
Who knows failings and is just.
That when this life is almost done,
And lifes great winter with sinking sun;
Comes and deaths shades close ill.,
That we may not say; what might have been

which we believe to be authentic:
l. should not be hoisted before
sunrise nor allowed to remain up
after sunset.
When the national colors are pass
ing on parade or in review the spec
tator, if walking, should halt, and
If sitting arise and stand at "atten-
ton" and uncover
When the national and state or
other flags fly together, the national
flag should be placed on the right.
When the flag is flown at half
staff as sign of mourning ii
should be hoisted to full staff at
the conclusion of the funeral. In
placing the flag at half-staff it
should first be hoisted 70 the top
of the staff and then lowered to
position, and preliminary TO lower
ing from half-staff 1t should be first
raised to the top.
On Memorial Day, May Both, the
flag should fly at half-staff from
sunrise to noon, and at full stan
from noon to sunset.
These are the holidays when the
nag should be displayed at full staff
