needs of our own city schools. Practice is given in all this work 
with classes of children of different ages. 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 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 is twenty-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 thé outdoor garden practice. This 
practice is of two kinds: (1) Practice with children. There are 
over two 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 the 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 children. 
To those who satisfactorily complete this course a certificate will 
be given. The courses offered in children’s gardening are con- 
sidered as a unit. 
These courses have been accepted by the Board of Education 
for teachers’ credits as follows: 
1. Any of the courses will be accepted toward meeting clause 
“bh” of the conditions of eligibility for high school license in

3. This course will be accepted as a pedagogical course, and 
either of the other four courses will be accepted as an academic

demic paper in the examination for license as assistant to prin- 
cipal. Such exemption is granted to those who offer 120 hours
