Efforts of Teachers Appreciated.

81 appreciate most heartily the eff
fort our teachers have made in the
past, believing that a foundation has
been laid for the broad development
of AN important factor in our city life.
In view of this past effort I feel the
more free to urge that teachers recog-
nize the special public interest onw
manifested in the home garden move
ment and that they use the wonderful
opportunitieS they have with the chill
rem of the city to give the movemen mt
further impetus and to make the work
that may be done in home gardens by
school children really worth while.
In my recent talk on Thrift Educa
ton" I mentioned home gardening as
an important factor. Even a. small gar
den, wisely planned and handled in
tensively, may produce many vege-
tables a family needs during more
than half a year, and may give a. sur
plus for preserving or canning. With
the present high cost of living this is
not a factor to be despsed. Even a
very small plot. which any child might
cultivate, will produce much that is
worth while.
For the child gardening has a dis
tinct value. He learns much of grow
ing things by actually growing them.
His love for out-of-doors is increased.
He is busted in a health giving occupa-

HOME GARDEN HINTS
Proper Times to Plant Va
rious Vegetables.

The garden specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture divide
vegetables into two classes-"warm tenn
perature' and cold temperature vege-
tables. When peach and plum trees are
in blossom, they say. it is time to SOW in
the open ground such seeds as lettuce,
radish, parsley, heets, turnips, cabbage,
carrots, peas and onions. The wrinkled
peas should not be planted until later, as
they are more liable to rot in cool ground
than are the smooth varieties. When the
apple trees bloom It is time to plant the
heat loving vegetables such as cucumbers.
beans. sweet corn, pumpkin and squash.
This is an old but excellent rule.
The quickest crop to mature is the
radish. Lettuce, turnips, peas, beets and
beans usually require from six to nine
weeks, corn from eleven to thirteen weeks
and potatoes from fifteen TO sixteen
weeks to mature.

To Promote Claxton Scheme.

officials of the bureau of education,
in charge of garden work, will consult
with Mr. Thurston regarding the pro-
motion here of the so-called Claxton
scheme for encouraging home garden
ing in cities. This plan is similar to
the one which has been carried on in
Washington for some years. except
that it provides for trained supervisors
of the work. more of whom are needed
| here.
Mr Thurston's letter to school en-
ployes, outlining the fun scope OF the
school garden work, follows:
This is again an appropriate time
to call the attention of the teachers of
our public schools to the opportunity
they have to benefit the children under
their care and to contribute to the
thrift life of the community and to the
beauty of the District in which we life,
through proper emphasis on school and
home gardening. For many years they,
a whole, have carried on quietly
work which has promoted undoubtedly
the welfare of the city and has made
it a more attractive place in which to
live. With very little appropriation for
specialized garden work. great part
of our activity has ycsulted from the
work of the regular grade force OF
teachers, who have f.isIilIed love for
and an interest in home gardening
through their nature study-tlasSes and
through participating in the School
gardening.
Through the machinery of the
schools, although without expense to
the system. 1851 packets of seeds
and many bulbs have found their way
i'm a single year into the homes of the
city Definite suggestions for garden
planning and planting and care have
been given Steadily the number Of
home gardens has grown. Miss Sipe
in charge of our garden work. speaks
of finding Il fourth grade in which
every child had u home garden last
wear and Of many cases where three
fourths Of the class enrolment had

SpecldI 10 Tue W ollu
BRISTOW, Okla, Aug. l3.-It has
been decided by the school board of
this district to open the public
schools of this city September 15.
This is Just two weeks later than 1t
was last year and is caused this year
by the new school building not being
completed. The contractor has stated
that he thot that the building could
be finished by that time so the board
has set that day for the opening. The
new building Is now up past the sec
ond story and work will be rushed as
fast as possible. The difficulty has
been in getting brickmasons. The
new building will contain eight
rooms and this is thot will relieve
the congested conditions of the
schools for some time to come. Last
year a number of the lower grades
had but a half day OF school. owing
to this fact. New teachers have been
added this year which will occupy all
of the new building.
