B. Courses for 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 w^elL Our courses are so arranged that they em- 

 phasize 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 

 elementary school. 



nature study work in our schools, and we make a special point 

 of giving simple, definite^ helpful work, grading it so that it ap- 

 plies directly to the immediate needs of our own city schools. 

 Practice is given in all this work with classes of children of dif- 

 ferent 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 com- 

 pleted 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, payable 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: (i) Practice with children. There are 

 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 work. (2) Practice in the teacher's garden. Each student has.
