book stores when in the city; to care about the Hfe and times of authors. 

 Books help in the real life and in the dream. We must all do a real 

 work, but for our soul's safety the dream must be in our hearts and to 

 help discouraged comrades they must sometimes see it in our eyes. 



Garden Seeds. — In the March Leaflet we will give suggestions for 

 making gardens. Nearly all educators now realize how valuable garden 

 making is in connection with school work. It is gratifying to find how 

 many of our own teachers realize that it is important to have the children 

 plant something even if a well-ordered piece of garden work can not be 

 done on the school grounds. It is well worth the while to plant the seeds 

 and have the children get the initial lessons on the growing of plants. 



We are already receiving letters asking if we send out seeds from the 

 College of Agriculture. We regret very much that it is impossible for 

 us to send seeds to the schools. Seeds can be obtained, however, with 

 but little trouble and cost, from James Vick's Sons of Rochester. We 

 are printing their announcement and wish the teachers would read it 

 over carefully before encouraging the children to send for seeds. The 

 teacher should send all orders with great care. It would be well to 

 follow the form given in this issue so that the seed house may have no 

 difficulty in knowing the full name and Post Office address of the teacher, 

 and exactly what the order calls for. 



Send all orders through the teacher.
