Educational Department

Fourth Meeting, May 18, 5 P. M.

The time of this meeting was occupied in the consideration of resolutions presented by the committee on resolutions.

The subject of the extension of our church-school system, and the distribution of literature among our people to deepen the interests of the church-school work, brought out many valuable talks.

Much interest was shown in a uniform scholarship plan for those who sell our books and magazines; and a committee consisting of H. G. Lucas, O. J. Graf, and C. A. Hansen was appointed to confer with a like committee to be appointed by the Publishing Department, in the preparation of a uniform scholarship plan which can apply to all schools.

Another subject which called forth much discussion was “school gardens.” These are being successfully conducted in many places. In one school in California a profit of $110 was realized by the children from their school garden. Another garden gained $45. Through these gardens the school grounds are beautified, and the children are taught to love the cultivation of the soil.
