mits a small percentage of pupils to en-
joy the privilege and advantage of
garden.
THE home garden develops Individual
ity, the child may choose the plants he
wishes to grow, and how he will arrange
them. He enjoys in every respect free
dom which is not possible in the school
garden.
THE home garden because it allows
more freedom tends to make the interest
in gardening greater. and more perma-
nent. He may experiment and study the
nature and requirements of each variety
as he could not do in the school garden.
The home garden develops in the child
a greater sense of responsibility, as the
, success of his garden depends almost en-
tirely on his own resources.
The home garden is an agency to keep
the child at home, where he would other
wise be on the streets. where too often
the influence is demoralizing 1t produces
greater bond of sympathy between the
parent and child, due to the fact that the
parent takes an interest in the work and
talks with the child about it.
| THE home garden brings the teacher
in closer touch with the parent, it
! gives her an excellent excuse to visit the
home of her pupils; an important factor
| in the success of any teacher.
THE home garden will be one of the
greatest factors in making our cities and
| villages more beautiful and desirable
places to live n unsightly places, rub
bish piles, etc, will be replaced by grow
| ing plants and flowers.
| THE home garden develops the sense
| of ownership and respect for private
property it cannot be developed in the
school garden, as the child feels that he
is the real owner; and not a tenant as
must be the case when he has an indi-
vidual plot in the school garden.
THE home garden will very materially
help to reduce the high cost of living
by providing fresh, tender vegetables for
the table during the greater part of the
year, to an extent that will be a surprise
to those who will keep an account of the
| value of all the vegetables used
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-02-27

The school garden, properly speaking, is
a garden in connection with the public
school. In many instances where land for
a school garden is not available, the
teacher will encourage home gardening,
iifss-in measure supenntend it. A COM
oination of the two is the ideal plan, as
the child varies into effect in the home
garden the ideas gathered in the school
garden.
Because there is no available land for
a school garden is no reason why teachers
should not be interested in the work, as
a majority of educators consider the home
garden the most practical and satisfac-
tory.
There are many reasons why the home
garden should be encouraged. Mr.. Yer
non Lands OF Cincinnati, well known
authority on the subject, has expressed
the idea so nicely that we are taking
the liberty of quoting in part from him.
The home garden gives every child an
opportunity to have a garden. In many
