What Has Been Accomplished.
l. One million five hundred thousand
boys and girls have responded to the
call of the president and enlisted in the
United States school garden army,
2 Twenty thousand acres of unproduc-
tive home and vacant lots have been con-
verified into productive land. This will
release an equal acreage now used in
truck gardening for the production of
other foodstuffs more important for war
purposes II will also relieve transporta-
tion congestion through home consump-
ton Of home produced foodstuffs.
8 Fifty thousand teachers have re-
ceived valuable instruction in gardening
through the garden leaflets written by
experts in this Office and distributed from
here.
T. Boards OF education and other civic
organizations have been influenced to
give financial and moral support to the
school and home garden movement and
to pay extra salaries for supervision and
teaching.
s. Hundreds of thousands of parents
have become interested in the garden
movement and are working with their
children in home gardens. IN Salt Lake
City alone $500 mothers, representing 81
parental associations, are actively sup
porting food production in the schools
g. Thousands of civic, commercial and
patriotic organizations have become in
terested in the movement and are giving
| it hearty support.
Z. One and one-half million children
have been given something to do this
summer: something that win help carry
the burden of their country in this strug
gle for freedom, something that viii help
them TO build character and something
that will appeal to and develop their pa
triotism.
8. Home and vacant lot gardening in
cities, towns and villages have been dig
nifed and made popular to degree that
practically insures them a prominent
place in the school system of our coun-
try. 1t would be difficult to estimate
the educational and material value Of
such results

SCHOOL GARDEN ARMY.
What 1t Has Accomplished After Being
Formed in March, 1918.

rOTIneu III Md1Cn, l9lS,
The United States school garden army
was organized in March of 1918,
President Wilson set aside $4,000
from his national security and defense
appropriation to promote the work for
the first six months. He has since appro-
priated 100000 more to carry the work
through another ten months.
Two main purposes prompted the plan
ming of the United States school garden
army; (a) Increased food production and
tb) training of school children in thrift,
industry, service, patriotism and respon-
sihility.
The necessity for manpower was be-
ing felt. This was especially true in ag-
Ticultural pursuits. Not alone were the
drafted young men going from the farm,
but great numbers of farm employees
were being attracted to the cities by
higher wages offered in other industries
If the millions of city boys and girls
could be induced to give their leisure
time to cultivating the thousands of
acres of untitled land in front and back
yards and vacant lots of our cities, towns
and villages, it would result in a sub.
stantial increase in food production and
an improvement in the quality of our
coming citizenship.
The bureau of education undertook to
accomplish this through the organization
of the United States school garden army,
1t is an educational problem and can be
solved with economy and efficiency only
by the schools.
The plan of organization involves (al a
general director who is responsible for
organization, propaganda and admins
tration. (h) Regional directors who are
charged with the responsibility of writ
ing instructions upon gardening that will
enable supervisors and teachers to take
garden company successfully through a
season, even though not expert garden
ers. These instructions have been put
out in leaflet form and sent from the
central offices to all who applied for
them. tc) Assistant regional directors
who work under the regional director and
whose duties are similar to those of the
regional director excepting that of writ.
ing garden leaflets. Id Cooperation
with state council of defense through a
state representative appointed by them.
te) The army plan of organizing school
boys and girls into companies Of $50 or
less under the direction of a garden
teacher, a captain, first lieutenant and
second lieutenant. II An insignia for
each enlisted soldier. A double bronze
bar for the captain, single bronze bar
