ORNAMENTING SCHOOL GROUNDS. 



THE SCHOOL GARDEN. 



Appropos to the special attention given to the above general topic is the 

 following extract from a translation of Prof. Erasmus Schwab, by Mrs. 

 Horace Mann : 



One demand is, deeply dug, well arranged and sanded paths, which shall 

 always be kept clear and in good condition by the children of the upper 

 classes. A school garden which would comprise everything desirable (that is, 

 such a garden as should be appended to institutions for the training of teachers) 

 should contain 



1. A selection of the characteristic plants of the plain and meadow, mountain 

 and wood of the given country. 



2. All home evergreen and foliage trees; at least one sample of each, and 

 all the more important wood shrubs.
