Fifth streets, directl}' opposite a public school of 1,200 pupils. In 

 addition to the regular school garden work, classes of different grades 

 from the kindergarten up had nature study lessons at the gardens 

 during school hours and raised illustrative material for these lessons 

 on class plats. 



Several gardens were also maintained by the Civic Betterment Asso- 

 elation, the Civic Club, and the Vacant Lots Cultivation Association. 



In the city of Cleveland, Ohio, an advanced step in the school- 

 garden movement has been begun by the appointment of a special 

 officer as curator of school gardens, who will have charge of the 

 planting and improvement of school gardens and grounds through- 

 out the city.
