_School Gardening_

By C. E. H.

THE school gardens of Washington, D. C., have been unusually successful the past summer. Not only have they been of value as an educational factor, but a large quantity of vegetables has been raised. We find the following report published in the Star of September 4:—
After laboring hard during the summer months with spade and hoe in the school gardens, hundreds of boys and girls of the city are now reaping the last of the fruits of their work. During the past week many loads of tomatoes, string-beans, Lima beans, lettuce, and other vegetables, have been carried away from the gardens. All those who have worked in the gardens have enjoyed the labor performed, and at the same time have gained much practical knowledge of truck gardening.
Nothing is better calculated to prepare students for after-life than a practical education in gardening. It is a step to be commended in educational work.
