during one year, or may be extended over a period of two or more 
years. The fee for the entire course ts thirty-five dollars, pay- 
able in full at the time of registration, or course by course as they 
are covered. No money will be refunded if the student drops the 
work, and no monetary allowances will be made for courses taken 
at other institutions, although time allowances will be made. 
Special stress is put upon the outdoor garden practice. This 
practice is of two kinds: (1) Practice with children. There are 
one hundred and fifty children in our outdoor garden, and every 
opportunity is given for practice in working with children and for 
— 
the solving of problems connected with this phase of the work. 
(2) Practice in the teacher’s garden. Each member of the class 
has a garden of her own and works it herself, thus performing 
— 
all gardening operations to be taught later to children. 
To those who satisfactorily complete this course a certificate 
will be given. The five courses offered in children’s gardening 
constitute one unit. Open only to teachers.
