BI. Courses ror 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 are planned to acquaint the prospec- 
tive 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. Whenever possible it is urged that the 
entire course be completed within two school years. Special im- 
portance is attached to No. Brr. 
The fee for the entire course 1s Fifteen Dollars. In case credit 
is given for work done elsewhere, the minimum charge for a cer- 
tificate will be Ten Dollars. 
To those who satisfactorily complete the work a Certificate in 
Children’s Gardening will be granted.
