BI. Courses ror TEACHERS OF CHILDREN’S GARDENING 
The course for teachers in cliildren’s garden work is planned 
not only to prepare for garden work, but for the teaching of

same time the work is correlated to meet the needs of each grade 
of the elementary 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 is given in all this work with Classes of children of dif- 
ferent ages. The requirements for entrance to this course are a 
certificate from a city training or normal school, a college di- 
ploma, or several years of successful teaching. Thesé 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
