Horticulture is one branch of the subject whicli should 

 have attention in every school. It should create in the child 

 such interest as will lead him to get the information neces- 

 sary to meet the climatic and soil conditions Avhich are re- 

 quired for the cultivation of plant life in his community. 

 Homes all over the state will be much better provided with 

 home-grown fruits, and lawns and dooryards beautified in a 

 way that will not only bring pleasure to the eye, but a profit- 

 able supply of adaptable fruit, as soon as our public schools 

 are able to put in the necessary equipment and provide the 

 teachers who can ijroperly correlate the study of agriculture 

 with that of the other branches taught in the public schools. 



The Nebraska boj s and girls clubs in their work in home 

 gardening are bringing about a change in the idea as to what 

 can be done in the way of home products in fruits in Ne- 

 braska. The canning and preserving of fruits by our girls' 

 domestic science clubs has led to a better cultivation of fruits 

 and to a better utilization of the products. The subject as a 

 part of our public school work is here and here to stay, and it 

 promises greater development than any other subject with 

 which our public schools are concerned.
