The Contributions so far received are not sufficient to carry 

 on the work of the Service Bureau as outlined at the conven- 

 ti.,n m Cleveland, and as published in detail in the report of 

 the proceedings sent to members. The estimate of the cost to 

 test out the merits of the Service Bureau and its benefits to 

 the association and the profession, was a conservative one. 

 .\t the present time over eighty dollars a month is being ex- 

 pended for advertising alone, but those at all familiar' with 

 advertising cost, will realize that the expenditure of such an 

 amount for advertising is a very meager one, though it is 

 bringing in good results. Those members' interested in the 

 development of the Service Bureau, who have not yet con- 

 tributed to tlie publicity fund, sliould send in their contribu- 

 tions without delay, that the committee mav know what funds 

 it can rely on, and complete its plans. 



THE SECRETARY'S CORRESPONDENCE 



Owing to an r,nusually largr amount of mail whicli has reached 

 the secretary's office during the last two months, . besides the 

 other activities of the association, the secretary has not been 

 able to give the communications the prompt attention he would 

 like to give them, and must ask therefore the indulgence of 

 members, wlmsc letters have been delayed in being answered. 



COMMITTEE ON SCHOOL GARDENS 



BU.\RD OF EDCCATIOX 



Division of Educational Extension 



Cleveland, January 23. 1920. 

 Mr. G. H. I'ring, Chairman Committee on School Gardens, 

 Tlie Xational .'Xssociation of Gardeners. 



St. Louis, Mo. 

 I wish to thank you for yours of September 25, which I 

 regret has been unanswered to now for various reasons. 



Personally I wish to say that the report of the Committee 

 on School Gardens appointed by the National .Association of 

 Gardens was very timely and of considerable assistance in 

 the Fall when we revised our course of study. I wish to say 

 for your information that the science department here 

 passed resolutions approving your recommendations without 

 change. 



The Cleveland Board of Education is verv grateful to the 

 committee and to the Xational .\ssociation of Gardeners 

 for their suggestions and help in iiKtking the course of study 

 more practical. 



O- M. Eastman, 

 Supervisor of Gardens.
