During the past summer those who
have driven through Potomac Park
have noted In tho section below tho
bridges many acres Of little garden
plots, sometimes with men and women
and children at work in them In tho
lingering evening light. Often the
motor ears drawn up aienSsids Of the
roadway have testified that those t
work in the gardens have come a long
distance to manage their tiny farms.
Probably most Of those who have wit
messed this scene have wondered as to
the result of this amall,scaie garden
work. That result has now been
computed and an item is OF impor-
lance in the economy Of the comnu
nifty: Fifteen hundred persons alto
sether worked in these gardens In Pc.
tomac and Anacostia Parks during the
season; food was produced which will
be served to more than 200 people;
altogether about $4,000 hours of spare
time was spent in garden work; vess-
tables were grown sufficient to- fill
$4,000 cans in preserved form. and in
addition an unmeasured but great
number OF bushels Of feodstuffs that
will keep through the winter without
preserving: $4,000 is the valuation

trip, however, was the two days
spent at the Berry School near
Rome, Ga. Ever. since Miss Martha
Berry had spoken at my house three
years ago and had told of her work
among the boys and girls Of the
Southern highlands I have been
waiting for an opportunity to visit
the school and see it for myself.
We stayed in one Of the dormitories.
What the Boys Say
Berry School was started eight
cen years ago with five students
in small log cabin. To-day there
are more than $50 boys and $50
girls enrolled to receive an all-round
education. Most Of them have to
work their way through, the charge
for board and tuition being only
S100. Each student is offered a
thorough industrial education adapt
able to his home environment, and
there is college preparatory course
for those who wish to take further
educational training.
II never saw a healthier lot of
young men. Miss Berry is proud
OF the fact that Berry School boys
passed the highest physical test of
any school in the country when the
war emergency arose In 1917. Five
hundred graduates from this school
enlisted; many Of them received
commissions; several made the su-
preme sacrifice in France.
"While was the guest of Miss
Berry quite accidentally CHANGED
to ascertain the sentiment Of young
Southern boys in regard to Colonel
Roosevelt. It was the most hearten-
