MOVE FOR HOME GARDENS
WIdssprsau Idsa TO interest Children
o. the Country In Eeonom.
ieai Idea.

Any suggestion Of introducing Q
wider military training among
schools Of this country is bound to
meet with opposition. But one move
which will be almost as useful in
time Of war is that being made by the
upited States bureau of education to
make homes garden truck farmers Of
the 100000 children who are now
In public schools in the United States.
OF course. the relation Of such q
movement to war probably was far
from the minds Of those who have
been fostering the movement. II al.
ready is being worked out In many
cities. On the statement Of DR.. c.
d. Jarvis. the specialist In charge Il
tho governments home-gardening sur.
vey. the relation this movement. II &C.
complished thoroughly, would bear to
war Is strikingly shown. Doctor Jar
Wis estimates that II half the 10000 900
available school children were inter.
ested In the work the increase in food
supplies would amount to $4,000. 900
annually. This estimate Is based upon
the supposition that $lO Is the average
yield Of garden. though figures show
that many such gardens can earn $25,
$50 and even 500 yearly.
What such a food supply would
mean to any European nation at this
time can easily be imagined. II war
called the young men from the farms
Of this nation, even for a brief time,
these school gardens would be invalu.
able in supplying food to cities which
otherwise might flnd themselves cut
on from a ready supply.
Obviously the great benefit OF the
work undertaken by the bureau OF ed.
ucation and its experts is planned for
times Of peace. But In a period when
many peaceful movements are viewed
from war angle. this plan cannot es.
cape the attention Of those who be-
lieve preparedness is our best protec.
ton against foreign imbroghos.
