('ooperating for Home, School Garden .t Chattanoog; Yenri.lias, organized n I plan for introducing school' and home (gardtns that is considered one of the best yet devised for interesting vari ,ous community groups in home-garden work. ; The Chattanooga plan, according to reports received by the Bureau of Edu cation 01 tne Department of the In terior, enlists Federal, State, city, mid local association agencies in the work. The following are actively represented in the movement for school gardens: United Stutcs Department of the In terior, Bureau of Education, through the Commissioner and an assistant in home and school gardens; City of Chattanooga, Department of Educa tion and Health, through the Commis sioner of Education and Health, Sup erintendent of Schools and Garden Supervisor; Federation of School Im provement Leagues, through its presi dent; President of District Leagues repi-cscntisig the eleven districts; Di rectors of Home Gardening; Prinji pals, teachers, parents, pupils; the newspaper. j Similar work to that of Chatta nooga, though in most cnises not so carefully organized, is being done h 32 cities this year through a special appropriation by Congress in 1915. In describing the movement for home gardening directed by the school, Dr. P. P. Claxton, Commissioner of Ed ucation, declares: '' "After the school day, is finished and during the long vacution period, millions of American children are idle. Without proper occupation, these fu ture citizens of the United Status are thrown 011 their own resources for amusement until school begins agni". "It seems manifestly the duty of the public schools to furnish employ ment for these millions of idle young people. The schools are established and maintained for the purpose of ed ucating children into manhood and womanhood and for preparing them lor citizenship. j "The Bureau of Education, after much careful thought and research work, has evolved a system of home gardening done under the direction of the schools that seems to offer many opportunities for this sort of instruc tion and for filling satisfactorily the child's idle hours. "The Bureau recommends that there should be in each school throughout the country at least one teacher who ' knows gardening both scientifically and practically. This teacher should . be employed twelve months in the year, should teach elementary science in the school during the school hours and should, out of school hours, di rect the home gardening of the chil dren between the ages of 10 and 15 years. "If possible, the teacher should (heve the assistance of an expert gard I ener so that tho work may be done in I the. most practical and profitable way. The teacher and the gardener should nelp tlic children find the plots of ground near their homes best suit able for garden work, aid them by some cooperative method in having the lots propertly plowed and prepared tor cultivation, help them select seed and show them how to plant, culti vate, and harvest, so as to obtain the best results. The teacher should spend the afternoons and Saturdays of winter, spring and fall, when school is in session, and all of the vacation days of summer, visiting the children in their homos, directing their work. and giving to each child siK'h help as it most needs. Once a week or of tener, during the vacation months, the teacher should assemble the children in groups for a discussion of their work and of the principles and meth ods involved. "Vegetables, berries, and fruits grown should be used first as food for the children and their families; then the surplus should lie marketed to the best advantage. Through lh2 help of the teacher this can be done in a cooperative way. Ten or 15 cents' worth of vegetables each day from the gardens of 200 children would nmount to $L'0 or $30. In summer and fall, when the surplus is large and can not be marketed to advantage, the teacher should direct and help the children in canning and preserving for winter homo use or for sale. The can ning and tomato clubs have already shown what enn 'be done in this way. "It is difficult to estimate all th-; results of this plan once it is in full operation throughout the country. For the children it will mean hea'ih, strength, joy in work, habits of in dustry. n" understanding of the value of money as measured in tomis of labor, and such knowledge of the phe nomena and forces of nature as must I e hixl for an understanding of most -if their school lessons. "This plan in full operation would (..'for a vnlimble supplement to tho child-lubor laws. A proper substitute for hurtful chil! labor is only less desirable than its prohibition. A boy 1(1 or 12 years old,- with a small plot of land, working under careful direc tion, can produce more for th; sup port c-f the family than could be pur chased with xY.t s-'ime boy's wages working in factory, nhop, or mi'l.
