successful through the Bureau of Edu-

teachers and children in the schools
of the United States in the cultiva-
ton of home gardens. Every boy and
girl who really sees what the home
garden may mean will, I am sure, en-
ter into the purpose with high spirits,
because I am sure they would all like
to feel that they are in fact fighting
in France by joining the home garden
army. They know that America has
undertaken to send meat and -four and
wheat and ether foods for the support
of the soldiers who are doing the fight
ing, for the men and the women VINO
are making the munitions, and for the
boys and girls of western Europe, and
that we must also feed ourselves while
we are carrying on the war. The
movement to establish garden, there
fore, and to have the children work
in them is just as real and patriotic
an effort as the building of ships or the
firing of cannon. I hope that this
spring every school will have a regI-
ment in the Volunteer War Garden
