B I. Courses ror TEACHERS OF CHILDREN’S GARDENING 
The course for teachers in children’s garden work is planned 
not only to prepare for garden work, but for the teaching of 
nature study as well. Our courses are so arranged that they 
emphasize not only the theory of each subject, but its actual prac- 
tice, either in classroom, greenhouse, garden, or field. At the 
same time the work is correlated to meet the needs of each grade 
of the elementary school. There is an increasing demand for 
good nature work in our schools, and we make a special point of 
giving simple, definite, helpful work, grading it so that it applies 
directly to the immediate needs of our own city schools. Practice 
is given in all this work with classes of children of different ages. 
The requirements for entrance to this course are the following: 
a certificate from a city training or normal school, a college 
diploma, or several years of successful teaching. These courses 
may be completed during one year, or as in the case of city school 
teachers, may extend over a period of two or more years. The 
fee for the entire course 1s twenty dollars, payable either in full 
at the time of the registration, or ten dollars at the time of regis- 
tration and ten dollars six months later. No money will be re- 
funded if the student drops the work, and no monetary allow-
