reting out the woman's point OF
view, eagerly scans each new
activity as it comes into her vision and,
magnifying glass in hand, Analyses
classifies and reduces it to laws. Quite
in this scientific frame of mind | en-
tered the Flower Show, which is being
held at the Grand Central Palace, de-
termined to see the women florists and
to learn something concerning the
growing and distributing problem from
their point Of view. And also wanted
to learn just how much women were
aided in this profession BY their uni
versal love of flowers. l thought it
would be interesting, too, to observe
how constant contact with beautiful
flowers influenced the character. Of
this latter l learned much much that
was surprising.
Up the wide white stairs | went into
the vast hall full OF noise, color and
fragrance. | walked slowly past the
hyacinths, glowing in all the colors Of
which a hyacinth is capable, and back

flower, the orchid, whose bulky, sordid
roots and stems emit the fragile BIOS

handed woman; 81 tell you, Sophie, it
amt right" Perhaps she was thinking
vaguely of eugenics and heredity.
And passing TO the roses, more beau
tiful than any seen in the Louis gar
dens, and to the lilies, the various bed
ding plants, found that while all the
most beautiful were named for women
such as the Princess Victoria Louise,
the Alice, the Mrs. Roosevelt almost
al! were exhibited By some man or his
company.
New-York tribune., 1915-03-21

This was most curious, so l wan
dered around among the women, listen
ing TO the remarks Of those who knew
and those who admired ingenuously,
until | came TO the stall Of one Of the
large exhibitors, in which two men
were proudly holding forth to an eager
circle Of smartly gowned women.
Are there any women florists" l
asked, taking blond boy to one side.
He scratched his head and smiled.
"Why, | suppose there are some, but I
can't say as l ever heard of one, ex-
cept, Of course, the little flower stand
women"
why aren't there any big successful
women florists" | asked to know" "
finding the fact OF their absence in the
flower profession rather astonishing.
"oh, l don't know. They can't.
That's 10 profession for a woman. It's
too hard work. And it isn't just rails
ing flowers. There's lot OF science to
it."
But women are supposed to love
flowers so much. They like to take
care Of them. You know that,".I pro-
tested.
"Oh, well, lots of women do raise
flowers. Many of the exhibitors are
ladies'. But then, Of course, they have
their gardeners"
And soon l came upon proof positive
Of womsn's entire disassociation from
the professional floral field, at least in
New York Very near the entrance

from the main BY leafy bowers. A sign

But not one Of them's woman. You
see, We are professional florists and
growers. And that is no work for a
lady. It is hard work. She would have
to get up at all hours of the night and
light boiler fires. She would have to
shovel dirt. And, besides, it would take
capital"
Couldn't she have man do the
heavy work, and she direct and do the
scientific part?" He did not know. He
thought maybe she could but 1t might
not pay. But maybe the president
can tell you"
But the president, Harry A. Bunyard,
had no idea as to the reason why.
"Sure. madam, don't know There are
none in our club. 10, our laws don't

unwritten laws.
| continued ny search, determined to
find woman who was responsible for
at least a part Of the business of this

women stood about roses and decided
that theirs had never been as large.
But one felt instinctively that the
gardener had done most Of the manual
labor and had given almost all the ad-
vice. And there were nice old women

"But that | consider relatively un-
important" says Miss Pratt. They
will learn how to read and write any
way when they are little older. That
is where the public schools make their
greatest mistake. They spend almost
all their time in the lower grades

concentration, and give them little
knowledge Of the real things Of life, so
that they have something with which
TO correlate what they learn in their
books. Then they will be able to un-
derstand better what they read.

children out during reading and writ

phinium and all the others that used

garden beds. These, by the way, are
coming into fashion again.
0id-Fashioned Flowers Return to Favor
Women love them" explained one
Of the florists, "but men don't partic-
ularly. You see, men like things to be
more orderly and laid out more artist
cally in color schemes. But these can
be made artistic, too, and they are 60
ing to be very popular this year"
Two little old ladies (they must have
been long past seventy stood in front

my mothers was not nearly as thick
as that. And the flowers grew on top.
| wonder how they manage to do that"
And found many of that type Of sweet
flower lovers were there, but no horti
culturists.
Finally, the reasons for woman's alb
sence from the profession, which one
might expect her to love and TO be
most proficient in, were explained 10
me by one of the workers employed by
a prominent New York florist.
Women like flowers, but they do
not like to work"
"They like to cut them, TO buy
them; but not to study them"
Growing flowers is rough. heavy
work, and too great tax for any
woman's strength"

lift heavy pots, you must know how 70

teacher when she looked in at one door
or another. Occasionally a child would
run up to her and ask her some ques-
tion. When it was answered the child
went to its play again.
In another room a small boy was bent
over the drawing board. Before him
was a huge sheet of paper and set
of crayons. No one was near to help
him or to suggest TO him. He was
working spontaneously and in utter for
getfulness of all around him. Draw
ing for the ordinary school child is
far different matter. He is placed la
boriously over his task, and he must
do exactly as he is tSld throughout the
entire difficult period. A few enjoy it
those who naturally take TO drawing
The others are in torture.
But in Miss Pratts Play School draw
ing is merely a mode Of expression.
When a child wants 70 express some
thing. he quite naturally gets his
drawing materials and makes a picture
of what is in his mind. When the
children 60 on any of their numerous
expeditions in search of knowledge

az want them to know life as 1t is
to-day, to sharpen their understanding
of real things. When they see wagon
on the street they must know where
il has come from and where it is going.
On the way from the wholesaler to the
retailer, and a simple explanation Of
the fundamentals of commerce, they
learn about the policeman who stops
the wagon, and traffic regulations. And
incidentally they learn about police
systems OF other nations. and some
thing about what the various govern
ments stand for"
In this casual, natural way they learn
all that is Of interest around them.
Their fund Of information is wide for
children who are only four to six years
in age, but shey are less precocioua
than the ordinary room full of chill
dren. They are unconscious. Their
interest is easily aroused, and their

ever, with the Play School, under the
direction Of Miss Caroline Pratt and
Miss Edna Smith, would remove pre-
lminary prejudices. For it is place
in which children are as happy as chill
dren playing the games they want,
whenever they want, can possibly be.
And these children learn all the things
that a mother with public school ten
denotes might desire, and a great many
more than she imagined possible. They

know certain kind Of arithmetic, be-
cause in measuring the size Of wagon
they wish to build they use arithmetic.
And so figures are TO them actualities
and implements, in place of weary chalk
and pencil, symbols Of nothing that re
lates TO their life.

plained. as an experiment in educa-
tion. We do not yet feel that we have

New-York tribune., 1915-03-21

with all that is most modern in tho
educational world. And each subject
that the child learns it must interest
itself in naturally"..
Like the Montessori school, which has
revolutionized the educational process
for the child, this school never compels
its pupils. No one IS forced to learn
and no one is forced to play. But since
every child wants TO play, and since
the toys all call for measure Of con-
centration and require real thought IN
some direction. the child cannot fail TO
learn. If il builds a bridge, or makes a
grain elevator, it is learning physics,
for it has to figure weights, balances
and many other principles, all uncon-
scously.
On entering the school one would
hesitate TO classify it. Many children
were running up and down stairs, some
on the curious balconies which serve 20
give more floor space; some were play
ing at the sand box, some working at
the carpenters bench, some pushing
wooden cars around wooden tracks.
One was making a clock to fit the sta
ton. and some were walking up and
down gravely, apparently solving some
knotty problem. But they we're all
playing, and paid no attention TO their

that he has observed ard thought about
any one thing and found it interesting
shows that the trip was a valuable
one.
For instance, when they 80 across
the river to see a huge factory, per
haps the next day, when each one goes
to the drawing board, the pictures
which they draw will vary greatly.
One may draw the factory. But an
other is more than likely TO draw the
great Brooklyn Bridge, which it has
seen for the first time, and the vast
expanse Of water below. Another may
try 10 picture the sunshine, which may
never before have appealed to MIN in
quite such a forceable manner. The
sun will be a large yellow disk, but
instead Of remaining placidly in the
SKY, it spreads out in increasing
brightness TO the water below. An
other child has heard ali sbou. sub
marines, so he has drawn O German

tance from the ship, in Egyptian per

Pratt's ides however, lies in the fact
that the children please at the right
time. If all children are gathered
around the kind cartoonist who has
come to show them how TO make paper
animals, and one is much more inter-
ested in building sand palace, she is
asked to join. The joys Of the animal
game are pointed out to her. But when
she reafirms her choice of the sand,
she is no longer molested. The one ex'
ception is that the children may not do
anything to interfere with one else's
inclinations. And this restriction is
not very hard. They may not be bois-
ferrous, because that prevents some one
from doing what he wants.
