Weathersbee continue, "I regard it as very beneficial It gives the child an op- portunity to be out in the open and to breath good, pure air and to take on new life. Especially is it commended for city school children who have little oppor- tunity to live in the out-of-doors"
 And what is the definite plan as to the school garden?" l asked.
 "The idea is to have real garden in connection with every school in the city" was the reply, and to extend this idea Of gardens to the homes of the children, on q larger scale. Each child is supposed to have a plot under his own supervision, sometimes two children to a plot, wnero there is not enough ground, the girls to cultivate flowers and the boys to have the vegetable gardens under their care If the ground around the schools Is not suf ficient then we want to utilize the vacant lots that are adjacent. In fact, we'd like to utilize every vacant lot in this whole city and turn them from homely tracts
 into beautiful gardens. All this 1 am endeavoring to get in readiness before the fall session of the school begins. I want to get the grounds ready, and then the children can begin their work in earn est when the schools open"
 Have you ever stopped to think how much more attractive a nice, well ordered vegetable garden is than an ugly back yard?" asked MT. Weathersbee. T wish everybody in this city would turn their back yards into vegetable gardens. I would be glad to assist them in making sugges- tions and arranging chem. I have done this in several instances since I have been here, and l am at the command of any who desire to take the subject up with me. Why, in some places that I've visited I've even seen a vegetable garden grown
