B. Courses for Teachers of Children’s Gardening and Nature 
Study 
The courses for teachers in children’s garden work are planned 
not only to prepare for garden work, but for the teaching of nature 
study as well. ur courses are so arranged that they emphasize 
not only the theory of each subject, but its actual practice, either 
in classroom, greenhouse, garden, or field. At the same time the 
work is correlated to meet the needs of each grade of the ele- 
mentary school. , There is an increasing demand for good nature- 
study 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 with 
classes of children of different ages is given in all this work. 
The requirements for entrance are a certificate from a city 
training or normal school, a college diploma, or several years of 
certified successful teaching. These courses may be completed
