Home Gardening as
Directed by School.

Home gardening directed by the school
is offered by DR.. P. p Claxton, United
States commissioner of Education, as a
solution for some of the most pressing
educational and economic problems in
city and suburban life. DR.. Claxton would
have every vacant town lot transformed
into a garden. where boys and girls would
raise vegetables, berries, and fruit for
pleasure and for profit. He would have
one teacher in the community employed
IL months in the year to teach elementary
science in school and direct the home
garden work after school, on Saturdays
and during the summer vacation
"of the 10000 children between the
ages of and 20 in the cities, towns,
manufacturing villages. and suburban
communities Of the United States." says
Dr. Claxton. mot more than Is per cent.
are away from home during the summer
vacation or engaged in regular employ
ment The remaining S5 per cent remain
at home without any useful, healthful,
productive occupation requiring any
large part OF their time. On the other
hand, there Is much valuable land In
back yards and vacant lots that is serv-
ing no useful purpose. The problem is
to bring this land and these children to-
gether
TN every school and community there
should be at least one teacher who knows
gardening. both theoretically and practi-
caliy. This teacher should teach the
elementary sciences In the schools during
the school hours and should. out of
school hours. direct the home gardening
of the children between the ages of seven
or eight and Il or 15. II possible the
teacher should have the assistance Of an
expert gardener, 30 that the work may
be done in the most practical and profit
able way The teacher and the gardener
should help the children find the plots
of ground in back yards. front yards
and vacant lots near their homes best
suited for gardening work, aid Them by
some cooperative method to have the lots
properly plowed and prepared for culti-
walton, help them select seeds, show
them how to plant. cultivate, and harvest,
SO as to obtain the best results.
Vegetables, berries and fruits grown
should be used first as food for the chill
dren and their families; then the surplus
should be marketed to the best advan-
tage Through the help of the teacher
this can be done in a cooperative way.
Ten or Is cents worth Of vegetables each
day from the gardens Of each Of 200 chill
dren would amount to $40 or $50. In the

Science and Labor.

Every day science knocks the tools
out of an additional number Of labor
ers hands.
For years you have seen the long
train loads of coal come into Phila-
delphia yards during the winter,
whitened with snow. When these cars
that look as if they had come from
the home of old Boreas himself are
taken down to the great shipping piers
the coal in them is often found to be
frozen into one solid chunk.
To dig this coal loose so that the
cars might be hoisted and their con-
tents dumped into the holds of ships
was a tedious job. 1t was much too
slow for science, which has now de-
vised new method of doing the work.
Science built q concrete and nearly
alright house at Greenwich Point, IN
to which Fl loaded coal cars may be
backed at one time-like so many pies
in an oven. Here, in temperature OF
150 or more degrees, the solid con-
tents of a car is thawed loose from
the sides, just about as you put a
warm cloth around can OF Ice cream
to release the contents.
In 40 minutes or so, the cooking proc
ess being complete, the cars are taken
from the oven and hoisted over the
ship, when the Goals runs out easily.
That hot air can do to Fl cars In Az
minutes what it took 100 men day
to accomplish.
That's how science, when aided by a
little capital, is steadily decreasing
the amount Of work which our hands
have to do.-Philadelphia Ledger.

AUGUSTUS LYON, Terre Hill, Pa.
It is true that nature and woman's
work has produced the grandest remedy
for woman's ills that the world has
ever known. From the roots and
herbs of the field, Lydia E. Pinkham,
forty years ago, gave to womankind
remedy for their peculiar ills which
has proved more efficacious than any
other combination of drugs ever COM
pounded, and today Lydia E. Pnkham 8

from coast to coast as the standard
remedy for woman's ills.

Mass, are files containing hundreds of

over their own signatures that they have
