1t was President Straus Of the Society for Thrift,
who, from knowledge 81 actual results at Memphis
and elsewhere, first urged school gardening from a
thrift standpoint. For years It has been favored BY
educators and social workers. for Its aesthetic aud
educational value. But. ifsit 9be true, as the society
has asserted, that pitilully little is done by the public
schools Of the United STATE. to teach thrift and its
%rudiments, and that thrift knowledge is a safeguard
against extravaganza and the, allurements Of wildcat
speculation advertising, which have swept billions OF
dollars into rat holes In recent years, then gardening
In schools is first aid to thrift Where 1t has had a
practical test it has been shown that nothing is a
better stimulant Of thrift for pupils and their parents
than systematic lessons In growing things to eat, and
flowers.
The intimate connection of gardening to better
knowledge Of thrift was best shown when 1000 young
gardeners were at work in Memphis, under superin-
tendent Wolfe, who said in a report: ut is estimated
that 1000 boys of grades five to eight, should annu.
ally average at least ten dollars worth of vegetables
from their home gardens; : : . This would bring
to our Memphis homes $4,000 annually, and more
than a hundred thousand dollars worth in habits 81

while he was doing SO, he gave a pretty good word

that he has. no pride of opinion, that he is ready to

mean, for although he gave unhampe:ed expression

After the state school funds are; invested In school
bonds the state may now loan on farm mortgages.
By proper amortization the school bonds will steadily

fund. This fund can be made to reach 100000 900,
