lots covered with weeds and rubbish.
During the vacation months the
negro children roam Idly on the
streets, falling into michief and vice.
Under proper direction they might
make on these back yards and vacant
lots enough to support themselves,
and more; at the same time they
would be kept from vice and would
gain habits of industry. Incidentally,
negro quarters would be changed
from places of ugliness to places of
beauty.
Probably one of the most valuable
results of this pan would be to make
it easy for most children to attend
school three or four years longer than
they now do, thing more and more
desirable, since education for life and
citizenship in our industrial, civic
and social democracy cannot be OBJ
tanned before the age of adolescence.

dition to the number of teachers will
be required. 1t will only be neees-
sary to require different preparation

done at various places.

sbitad fsr gardening work, aid them
h. soES1s cooperative method to have
the lots properly plowed and prepared
for cultivation, help them select seeds,
show them how to plant, cultivate and
harvest, so as to obtain the best re-
suits.
vegetables, berries and fruits
grown should be used first as food
for the children and their families;
then the surplus should be marketed
to the best advantage Through the
help OF the teacher this can be done
in cooperative way Ten or fifteen
cents worth of vegetables each day
from the gardens of each of 200 chill
dren would amount to $40 or 500 In
the summer and fall, when the sur
plus is large and can not be marketed
to advantage, the teacher should di-
rect and help the children in canning
and preserving for winter use or for
sale. The canning and tomato clubs
of the Southern States have already
shown what can be done in this way.
ut is difficult to estimate the re-
suits of this plan when it shall be in
fun operation throughout the coun-
try. For the children 1t will mean
health, strength, joy in work, habits
of industry, an understanding of the
value of money, as measured in terms
of labor, and such knowledge of the
and forces of nature as
must be had for an understanding of
most of their school lessons. They
will also learn something at least of
the fundamental principle of morality;
that each individual must make his or
her own living; must, by some kind
of labor of head, hand, or heart, con-
tribute to the common wealth as much
as he takes from II; must pay for
what he gets in some kind OF coin.
This plan in full operation would
probably do more toward keeping
young chillren out of the factories and
mills than all of the child Labor laws
on the statute books. A boy ten or
twelve years OF age, with a quarter
OF an acre of land, working under
careful direction, can produce more
for the support of the family than
could be purchased with the child's
wages from the mill. Children should
not be ground in the mills nor sweated
in the factories; their strength should
not be Slapped and their nerves racked
by working in the heat and dust of
indoors yet all children should learn
to work; it is good for them and they
joy in 1t. To work with its feet in
the soil, its head in the sunshine, and
its lungs filled with good fresh air is
not bad thing for any healthy child
This plan will also do much to
solve the problem of the idle negro.
A large part of the negroes of the
Southern States live on the outskirts
of cities and small towns Their
cabin homes are frequently on large
lots, and surrounded with vacant

On the High Cost of Living

The high cost of living is a matter
of very great social significance. A
year ago great many people were
convinced that il was solely a mat
ter of tariff. Now we have
new tariff and there seems to be no
abatement in the tendency of prices
to rise. Possibly an explanation is to
be found in the statistical abstract
of the United States, prepared under
the direction of the secretary of COM
merce and labor. Under the head of
"OXen and Other Cattle" the number
of such cattle for the year 1901 is
given at 45,500,231, while the number
for the year 1912 is 37.260, 900, or a
decrease of S,340, 21S during the eleven
years. During the same period our
population has increased more than
20,000,000. To put 1t another way:
With 20,000,000 more people to feed in
1912 than we had In 1901 we have
100000 fewer cattle with which to
feed them. Or, to put it still another
way: Our population has increased
more than 25 per cent, while our
available beef supply has decreased
more than IL per cent.-The Living

WOULD TRANSFORM
LOTS INTO GARDENS
United States Educational Com

Important Problems.

Home gardening directed by the
school is offered by DIR. P. p. Claxton.
United States commissioner of educa-
ton, as solution for some of the
most pressing educational and eco
nomic problems in city and suburban
\ .llfe. Dr. ClaXton would have every
Vacant town lot transformed into a
Ngarden, 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 elementary science in school
and direct the home garden work
after school on Saturdays and during
the summer vacation.
"Of the 100000 children between
the ages of six and twenty In the
cities. towns, manufacturing villages
and suburban communities of the
United States" says DR.. ClaXton, mot
more than fifteen per cent. are away
from home during the summer vaca-
ton or engaged in regular employ
ment. The remaining eighty-five per
cent. remain at home without any
useful, healthful, productive occupa-
lion requiring any large part of their
time. On the other hand, there is
much valuable land in back yards
and vacant lots that is serving no
useful purpose. The problem is TO
bring this land and these children to-
gether.
'1n every school and community
there should be at least one teacher
who knows gardening, both theoret-
lcally and practically. This teacher
should teach the elementary sciences
in the schools during the school
hours, and should out of school
hours direct the home gardening of
the children between the ages of
seven or eight and fourteen or fif-
teen. If possible the teacher should
have the assistance of an expert gar
dener, so that the work may be done
in the most practical and profitable
way. The teacher and the gardener
should help the children find the plots
of ground in back yards, front yards
and vacant lots near their homes best
