NAMES FOR SHIPS
 IS A PROBLEM

The Shipping Board authorizes the following:
 Naming the German ships that have seen seized and the new ones under construction for the Government is no small task, the Shipping Board thinks. Several hundred names will be re- quired in the near future. The idea of using Indian names was taken ID, and also a proposal to use names of smaller towns and rivers and coun- ties but neither proved satisfactory
 Commissioner Donald is an advocate of naming the ships after the members of the Senate and House, and it is possible that this will be done. Just how the matter of duplication vii! be settled is another veXing question. There are five Smiths in the Senate from South Carolina, Georgia, Mary land, Arizona, and Michigan Tn tue House there are two Campbells two Garrets, two Grays, two Hamiltons, two Harrisons, two Hulls, there John sons, two kelleys, two Kennedys, two McLaughlins, two Martins, two Park. CTS, three Sanders, three Scotts, three Smiths and two Stephens-and then in the search for simple, typical Am erican names for the vessels, there is also that of the Hawaiian member.

SCHOOL GARDENING NOT FAD
Tendency in Some Quarters Net TO
Regard New Development Serious
ly Is Decried.

The federal bureau of education OF
the department Of the interior has is
sued q pamphlet, Gardening in Ele-
mentary City Schools" which covers
the progress and prospects Of school
gardening. The testimony presented
by school officials from cities Of more
than 5000 population in all parts Of
tbs country Indicates that while gar
den work is offered in the schools Of
about four hundred cities and enthu-
siaStically praised by the school Off
Gals Of these cities, there is still q ten
denCy in some quarters 10 regard il
merely as another educational fad
This ii certainly is not. The United
States is still an agricultural country.
and the teaching Of gardening brings
the schools at one point closer TO the
real business of the country than any
thing else taught, says the Indianapo-
lis News.
But Of course there must be some
system about teaching gardening. The
natural desire for a garden must be
cultivated and conserved. so that the
transition from play 10 work can be
accomplished. This is the problem Of
the educators. Many cities have COM
planned that they cannot get good
teachers 70 undertake the work. The
school authorities will have 10 culti-
vate teachers as the children cultivate
their gardens-that is, If they are TO
meet the demand. For il appears
from the government report that school
gardening has won its place. 1t has
developed the home garden under
school supervision, and this has proved
not only its educational worth, but
also its economic worth.
