he saw at once the ravages that trou-

TO CULTIVATE YARD
Miss Flora L. HendIey, Super
vising Principal, Tells of
Plans of Sixth Division.
WOULD INTEREST PARENTS

Every person who raises a potato or
tomato in back yard this summer
is doing patriotic duty. Our school
children are anxious to perform their
patriotic duties. Hence we are going
to push home and school gardening.
This is the appeal made by Miss
Flora l.. Hendley, supervising principal
of the schools of the sixth division. in
northeast Washington. to parents of
that community to attend meeting at
the Apollo Theater, ga II street north
east, in the interest of the garden
movement. The meeting will be at
o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
The children of the sixth division
have obtained a lot 240 by 100 feet,
situated just back of the Ludlow
School. and there all children of the
sixth grade will do gardening work.
But the work we are trying to do is
not simply on this school garden. MISS
Hendley explained, but to get all the
children to raise vegetables in the back
Yards at their homes The meeting
Wednesday is to arouse the interest OF
parents, and al lof them are invited

SUPERINTENDENT LAUDS
PATRIOTISM IN SCHOOLS
Also Urges Teachers to Impress on
Pupils Historical Importance Of
Present Session.

Pupils in the various branches OF
Washington's public school system are
today having their thoughts turned to
the great importance of the convening
of the present special session of Con-
gress as a historic and patriotic occa-
sion. The emphasis being laid on this
date and all that it implies follows a
suggestion contained in a letter writ
ten Saturday by Ernest L. Thurston,
superintendent of schools. addressed to
all supervising principals and to prin-
cipals of high, normal and vocational
schools
In this letter, which follows in full,
Mr.. Thurston also indicates his apppe-
cation of patriotic letters already re-
celVed by him from certain of the in
dividual public schools:
Ladies and Gentlemen: l suggest
that the attention of the pupils in the
grammar grades and in the high. nor
mai and vocational schools be called
to the special session of Congress of
Monday. April 2, 1917. Undoubtedly
this is great historic occasion. and
the pupils should recognize it as such.
The patriotism of the country will
focus through any action Congress
may take on the matters placed before
it by the President 1t seems to me
very advisable that our older pupils
should have an Intelligent view of the
various actions of the government as
they take place during these coming
days
Il am receiving from individual
schools reports showing the action
taken by the student bodies expressive
of their loyalty to the country, and of
their patriotic desire to serve her in
ways within their power. AS a school
officer and as citizen these express
sions give me deep, personal pleasure.
coming as they do spontaneously from
the real desire of the students to show
their feelings
