' It may be objected that I have left a nimiber of the commoner sorts out, notablv 

 beans. Of course, in preparation of these blanks for use, each group of teacliers must again 

 decide for themselves, according to local interests and conditions. The greatest danger 

 in the lessons will be the cut-and-dried, " systematic " inclusion of tilings too commonly 

 known to be anything but dull and unprofitable. And where garden work is all that it should 

 be in a neighborhood, where the children are carrying it along with success and enthusiasm, 

 most of it may safely be left in charge of the children and the home. 



New and choice varieties of common vegetables may he brought to attention of the 

 school, and knowledge about them thus be disseminated through the neighborhood. Insect 

 enemies and fungous diseases of even the commonest things will also furnish many valuable 

 lessons.
