and arithmetic. It is carrying forward
the school garden army idea, now so
popular in America, not only TO meet
a severe shortage, but also to set up
barrier against its recurrence in the
future,
The school children Of America are
greatly interested In the success Of
these Italian agricultural schools, for
they are aiding in the maintenance OF
more than 800 children In such schools
and orphanages through the agency
Of the Junior department Of the Amer
lean Red Cross.
The farm school at Seize Is typical
Of these italian institutions. Here 100
children from the streets of Rome,
war orphans and children who lost
their PARENTS In the Influenza epidemic
that swept Italy the year following
che World war, are being taught agri-
culture and given the rudlments of an
education while being well cared for
and restored to health In the sunshine
and open air. Their ages range from
8 years to lads in their early teens.
The farm school at Seize is unusual
because It is delivering practical farm
results In spite Of the youth of the
pupils. These youngsters are manag-
ing wheat fields, truck gardens and
barnyards In a way which brings in
fair profit and goes far toward feed
ing the community in which they are
placed. The fact that these children
are responsible for the economic re-
birth Of the town Is generally appre-
ciated In the neighborhood, and the
school is regarded as the business CEN
ter Of the village.
In addition to farm and school work,
the boys are reconstructing the school
building, an ancient monastery which
is rapidly being turned into a modern
structure with first-rate equipment. A
new wing is well under way and
American shower baths are being In
stalled. The school is not rich enough
TO hire any outside labor, even II such
labor could be procured. SO the chill
dren OF the orphanage are taking the
place Of the bricklayers and plasterers.
In real sense, this school is Co
operative experiment, because each
boy Is given a personal responsibility
in the farming and a personal share
in the results.
These italian children have q great
affection for their friends Of the Amer.

ing need arrives. Meanwhile, the
anonymous dollar hangs there as a
symbol Of the good will which makes
American children the big brothers and
big sisters OF those Young farmers OF
Italy.

CALIFORNIA TO GROW DATES
Possibility That That State May Be-
come Center of Culture Of Fruit
in the World.

Within a few years the Salton sea
basin, near IndiO, Cal, may become
the center of the worlds date culture,
thanks to the efforts of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. For neary twenty
years the bureau Of plant industry has
been endeavoring to procure shoots Of
the date palms which bear the fruit,
known commercially as the Sadly, or
Wahi, and Sewi varieties. SO difficult
was the source of the splendid fruit
to trace that, up to 1913, only few
shoots had been prOcurable. At that
time an immense grove of 100000 of
the palms in the oasis of Dakhla, Tunis,
was discovered.
Negotiations for the purchase of
specimens having been satisfactorily
concluded, the collection of the shoots
was begun. That it was slow is &C
counted for by the fact that tree puts
forth only twenty to thirty shoots dur
ing its lifetime. However, the collec-
ton was finally completed and the
work Of setting out $500 of the young
trees will be started within the near
future.-Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Following are leaves from the note
book Of Miss Noyes, director Of Amer
lean Red, Cross nursing service, pub
llshed In the Red Cross Bulletin. They
give a hint OF activities among the
children, as seen from Durazzo to
Podgoritza:
Leaving Durazzo on Sunday after
noon, by car, we arrived in Tirana in
the late afternoon. Here again we
found a personnel house. with Miss
McClann as hostess. This station
seemed to embrace the headquarters
for the financial agent, Mr.. Crawley.
the director Of Junior Red Cross, and
the transportation and supply offices.
To Tirana, the present capital of AL
bania, various experts In government
had been brought to advise the ruling
group which had been established. 1t
was interesting TO meet several Amer
leans, including Mr.. Dako, from Bos-
ton, and his slster-in-law, Miss Karies,
graduate Of Oberlln college, Ohio,
who had been sent by the Junior Red
Cross to assist In the organization Of
technical school. DIR. Reynolds was
also stationed at this point, acting In
an advisory capacity to the work
throughout Albania.
There were three separate cottages,
one for the office and men personnel,
the others for women. The schools
had been well developed, under the
auspices of the Junior Red Cross, and
Miss McQuaide. an American Red
Cross nurse, was doing the same type
OF work for the school children and
the refugees as that which was being
done in Durazzo. The same situation,
as to lack of facilities for the children
and refugees prevailed here. The
housing was In stables, buildings that
had been partially destroyed by fire,
ana the like. Soup distribution was
taking place from a tent; the, AL
banians had provided for the cooking
and the help, while the Red Gross
supervised the distribution and pro-
vided the food. There was morning
ration of cocoa and an afternoon ra-
ton OF hot soup which contained
meat, beans and lentlIs. / shall never
forget the pathetic line Of children
and adults-ragged, forlorn and de-
pressed, for whom there seemed, as
one watched them. absolutely no hope.
From Tirana we went to Scutari.
Here. also, we found a comfortable
