to grant preferential rail and water
freight rates on exports or imports
as well as passenger rates, unless
American owned vessels were used.
In order to permit this discrimina-

The bill would place the present

would be authorized to operate the

The house bill directed the board to

CHILDREN to the number of $780,
~ 600 were enrolled in 1919 in the
United States school garden army.
With the new year the problems that
confront educators are to increase this
army, to make the garden work more
permanent and to increase it's educa-
tional value. The motto of the garden
army-"A Garden for Every Child,
Every Child in Garden"-can only be
realized when gardening becomes a
definite part of school work.
City children will form habits of in
dustry and regularity by utilizing
their energies on the back yards and
vacant lots that are now largely un-
productive. School-supervised home
gardening requires only United
amount of school time, but it should
have as definite place and credit as
