The Graded School declamatory con-

tended. All schools were represented

ants were unable to take part because
of sickness. The judges expressed

division received medal. The win
ners were as follows

showed good judgment in choosing a
suitable selection.

Several of the neighbors saw him

Home gardening directed by the
school is suggested by the United
States Commissioner of Education as a
solution for some of the most pressing
educational and economic problems in
city and suburban life. The commits
sioner would have every vacant town
lot transformed into 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 twelve
months in the year to teach elemental
ry science in school and direct the
home garden work after school, on
Saturdays, and during the summer va
cation.
The products grown should be used
in part as food for the children and
their surplus should be marketed to the
best advantage. In the summer and
fall when the surplus is large and can
not be marketed to advantage the
teacher should direct and help the
children in canning and preserving for
winter use or for sale.
For the children such plan would
mean health, strength AID joy in
work, habits of industry, and under
standing of the value of money, and
much knowledge necessary for an
understanding of many of the
lessons taught in school. The
children would also learn the great
lesson that each individual must make
his or her own living, must pay for
what he gets in some kind of coin.

Commissioner Claxton dreams OF a
day when every country school will
have a house and home and land for
the country teacher, and the teacher
will be selected for life-service. Thus
the teacher would become citizen of
the community where he teaches and
in time its leader in every work of inn
provement. 1t is beautiful dream,
but can it ever come true in America?
That depends, not on getting larger
buildings, not on securing larger funds,
not on consolidating school districts
all these things are being done and
more and more. On what does it de-
pend, then? On raising up genera
tion of teachers who will dedicate their
lives to the work, whatever the initial
sacrifice Is. AT recent teachers
gathering we talked to man who is
making good in country school, but
who wants to get TO the ileshpots Of
the city. We pleaded with him that
he ought to stay and accomplish what
his people are ready to help him ac-
complish. 1t Is great opportunity
one that should pail on altruistic i'm.
pulses of any one. 1t is not question
OF salary this time. The man is not a
money lover. But lack OF professional
consideration, isolation, the lures of
the city--these are the things that dis.
turb. Yes, the dream will come true,
if we can lead enough teachers TO hear
the call OF the open country and its
children. The Rural School Advocate
