COURSE FOR TEACHERS OF CHILDREN’S GARDENING 
There is an increasing demand for persons adequately prepared 
to become teachers or supervisors of children’s gardens, but op- 
portunities to secure the necessary preparation are not numerous. 
As in other cases where special problems are to be met and solved, 
an interest in children, a mere liking for the work, or even native 
teaching ability, while highly essential, are not, of themselves, 
sufficient to insure success. 
The following ten courses (11-20) are planned to acquaint the 
prospective teacher with some of the main problems to be met 
with in this work, and such effective solutions of them as have 
been worked out in practice. The ten courses are considered as 
a unit, and are not offered separately. Wherever possible it is 
urged that the entire course be completed within two school years. 
Special importance is attached to No. 20. 
The fee for the entire course is Fifteen Dollars, which must be 
paid at the time of registration. 
To those who satisfactorily complete the work a Certificate in 
Children’s Gardening will be granted. 
11. Elementary Botany.—A survey of general physiological
