A Civic Prayer.

For our comfortable living, for our
fair surroundings, for our many bless
ings which the poor must lack, we give
hearty thanks; and we resolve that
from what store we have, a little more
than we can comfortably afford shall
be given to those servants Of the poor
who seek to cheer forlorn homes, to
lift up weary lives, to open the path
of opportunity, to remove old evils, and
to cure the plague Of poverty at Its
very sources. This is done in the hope
and faith that (our city, will thus
become a fairer and better home for
all alike, and that virtue, courage, and
peace will increase vislbly among US
and bless tour city, among all cities,
forevermore. Amen.-Trederick Almy

SCHOOL, GARDENING NOT FAD
Tendency In Some Quarters Not TO
Regard New Development Serious
Iy 10 Decried.

The federal bureau Of education OF
| the department Of the interior has is
sued a 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
the country indicates that while gar
den work is offered in the schools Of
about four hundred cities and enthu.
siastically praised by the school ON.
Gals Of these cities, there Is still a ten
dency in some quarters to regard It
merely as another educational fad
This It 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 1ndianapo-
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 to work can be
accomplished. This is the problem OF
the educators. Many cities have com-
planned that they cannot get good
teachers to- undertake the work. The
school authorities will have to cult
vate teachers as the children cultivate
their gardens-that is, If they are to
meet the demand. For 1t 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.

Same Problem in Each Case.

zone problem was similar in all three
cases. Mr.. Brown stated yesterday.
'That was the question of providing for
the accrued liabilities. for the retirements
of men who must so out before they have
had time TO pay enough to insure them
competence after retirement"
In the case of the government employees
and OF the school teachers the government
has been asked TO assume this liability.
In the clergy pension plan the 5000, 900
fund is expected to cover a portion of
these accrued liabilities. After forty years,
the average length of service of clergy
men as estimated by Mr.. Brown, the
Episcopal plan will be virtually self-sup-
porting.
