introducing the child to the life which 

 sustains it. It opens a whole new 

 world of interest to the city child. A 

 life outside the city begins to seem 

 within the realm of possibilities. The 

 city school garden does not effect an 

 exodus to the country, but it stimu- 

 lates a movement to the suburbs which 

 is of inestimable value. Then, too, in 

 accordance with the tendency to use 

 the school as a social centre for the 

 neighborhood, we find the city school 

 garden offering many avenues of ap- 

 proach to the heterogeneous population 

 which make up a city district. Most 

 city dwellers are country born or bred 

 and the sight of growing things — the 

 very stirring of the ground in the 

 spring — holds unbounded interest for 

 the passerby. I have gleaned many a 

 valuable piece of information from the 

 interested man over the fence. , 



Would say and glad to say that I 

 am sold out of my pansy stock. 

 Thanking you very kindly for the 

 immense business your paper has 

 alone favored us with, 



Your truly,
