Gentlemen: Last week We planted

days. 1t rained and there was enough
water for the plants Some plants are
not growing well because the soil is
not good. The rain did not destroy
our garden crops. We have worms
but very few We have more land
that We could plant but it is very
rocky. 1t will take long time to pre-.
pare it. We measured plants, hoed
grass and dug up stones. The girls

and pulling the weeds in the garden.

collect the money. After lunch the
lunch girls have to wash their own
dishes and the dessert girls wash
their own while the rest wipe the
dishes. clean the stove and sink, sweep
the floor, scrub the tables and empty
the garbage box. All this work is done
before 1915. Then we take our aprons
off aud leave the kitchen until our
turn comes again.
Well think this is all about cook
ing in our school.
