One simple motion t,uffiees to convert this unifold davenport into a full
size, comfortable bed. There is nothing about the davenport to indicate the bed
underneath, but the pulling of a strap turns the seat completely over. The
bed legs, spring and mattress take position automatically. The bed illustrated i
of selected quartered oak stock, the seat, and back are plain and upholstered
in Spanish chase leather. A heavy oak rail runs across the top. An attractive
and satisfactory bed in every particular.

T4E SCHOOL GARDEN is a veri
table "melting pot" for the amal
gamation of the children of all na
tions. White, yellow and black chil
dren are working together, each group
for the honor of the school and each
child for his own interest in the task.
In the set tasks of the classroom there
is little opportunity for the marked
characteristics of the children of dif
ferent nationalities to stand out and
to be observed and copied by those hav
ing markedly different characteristics.
' Century-old traditions crop out in
the many ways the children go .about
the same tasks, The English children
are patient and invariably have an eye
for beauty; the sons and daughters of
Scandinavia are slow and painstaking
and the children of the Orient display
the habits of agriculture ancestry in
their natural Inclination for Intensive

characteristic is his joy In the work.
Surley the child or the man who slngw
at his work has a natural or acquired
quality that should add flavor to all
who share in the "melting pot." Shalt
not the patience of the English child;
the neatness of the Swedish; the econ

of the Negro go to make up the best
qualities of the American of the fu

of tilling the soil?

The old Lincoln High School building
is now used as a grade school under the
name of the Lownsdale School. It has
the first three grades only. The chil
dren are from the down-town busi
ness district north of Morrison street.
These children have their school garden
two blocks from the school on a corner
of the former Multnomah Club grounds,
at Sixteenth and Taylor streets. Th
use of. the ground was donated by
Thomas Kerr. Forty per cent of the
children working in this garden are
Orientals. There are Chinese, Jap
anese, Filipino, Negro children and
white children, all working harmon
iously together. Fifty-two of th
youngest gardeners In the city havt
plots here.
As a rule, the children working In
community gardens are from grades
not below the fourth but all of th
Lownsdale children are below that
grade. These young children do splen
did -work but require somewhat more
supervision than the older ones.
I.ovr of Flowers Instilled.
The children of the Davis School at
Twenty-first and Raleigh streets have
their community garden on the lots
directly west of the school building.
The TJavls School children are keen
for flowers. Their tract is 70x120 feet
and they have three flower beds run
ning the length of the tract. The prin
cipal. Professor McCormick. and th
other teachers of this school have in
stilled a love of flowers in the chil
dren by doing much to beautify the
school grounds. A number of attrac
tive flower beds have been planted
around the school building. The Davis
children are as much Interested in their
vegetables, however, as are those of
any other school.
