Special stress is put upon the outdoor garden practice. This 
practice is of two kinds: (1) Practice with children. There are 
three hundred children in our outdoor garden and every oppor- 
tunity is given for the student to become accustomed to handling 
children and for working out problems connected with this phase 
of work. (2) Practice in the teacher’s garden. Each student has 
a garden of her own and works it herself, thus performing all 
gardening operations to be taught later to her group of children. 
To those who satisfactorily complete this course a certificate 
will be given. The courses given in children’s gardening are 
considered as a umt, and are not given separately.
