Items of Interest.

The special feature Of the Pratt School
secretarial instruction is course Of lect-
ures on political and educational questions
by well known public men. This course
is based upon the belief that every stu
dent should be conversant with the po-
litical status Of his country and with the
political attitude Of his country toward
other countries and of other countries
toward his country.
The Academy of the Immaculate Heart,
now at Villa Maria, West Chester, PENN
will remove on September L to its new
buildings at Frazer, Penn, on the main
line of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany.
The buildings at villa Maria will then
be occupied by ST. Aloysius Academy for
Boys.
The Pratt School is registered and in
spected by the Board of Regents of the
University of the State OF New York.
This alone signifies that the schools work
is of the highest standard.
The method of instruction employed By
the Pratt School is entirely individual. so
that a students progress depends entirely
upon his own ability and appncatlon.
The success of these Young Mems

ART OF PUTTERING
AROUND A GARDEN

n AM convinced that no one can be
really successful gardener without
- ing a genuine, born putterer. And by
that | mean nothing related 10 a good
golf player, but rather a person who
takes a delight in puttering.
There are several subdivisions in gar
den puttering. one is the trimming type
and calls for a sickle or grass hook a
pair Of pruning shears or pair of thin
bladed sheep shears. With any Of these
Cor. far better. with all three you can
putter day after day. now evening the
grass border along path and drive, again
nipping out shrivelled or wormy leaves
then thinning out the weakest OF the
buds on a towering shrub. or the least
desirable OF a cluster of fruits. The best
OF this sort Of puttering is that its results
show Immediately. Occasionally, how
ever. il involves a little subsequent pick
ing up Of scraps and prunings.
on the basis OF the tool you use a sec
ond variety OF puttering can be carried
on with one OF those little ive-iingered
wceders among the perennials in the
border and the various bedding plants.
There is no more effective way of dis
covering out-of-the-way weeds. OF looS-
ening the soil around delicate herbaceous
stun. Of picking out chance stones and
pebbles.
But the puttering that appeals most 10
me is accomplished with an ordinary hoe.
a well worn, familiar friendly hoe, OF
which the handle just fits the hand and
the weight is nicely balanced. II is Won

WORKING IN AND AROUND THE

The first paintings of celery should
soon be ready for transplanting with later
sowing supplying seedlings to continue
the work. Off and on, for d month. To
watch the process on some of the large
commercial market gardens one would
never think that any particular care is
needed so eXpeditiously is il accomplished
First comes the marker, who pushes a
large wide-tired wheel. i'm the rim OF
which are set three or foUr-inch spikes
which leave marks every six, eight or
ten inches apart, depending upon their
location upon the circumference. Usually
there is also an arm carrying a short
length of chain, which marks the position
OF the next row. two and half or three
feet away, according as the variety is
early or late After the marker follow the
plant boys. each with a basket of newly
dug plants. one Of which is dropped be-
side each indentation. Finally come the
planters. many Of whom attain a remark
able degree of dexterity and rapidly of
motion. Bending Couble with unbent
knees, or kneeling across the row and
shutting forward. the expert setter first
plunges the dlbble held in his right hand
into the soil, while the left automatically
picks up the plant; the second motion sets
the roots i'm the hole, with the crown, just
above the soil. and the third is firm
push with the closed right fist TO compress
the soil around the base of the plant.
After this rather rough treatment a
thorough sprinkling is essential; indeed
with celery it is highly desirable how
ever carefully the plants are handled. In
your garden. l suggest that the celery
plants be carried about in a pail of thin
mud-puddled as it is called. For this will
prevent the roots dying out-a very posi-
Bile contingency when one person does the
