Saskatchewan's School Gardens 



The furthering of agricultural education 

 in the primary schools of Saskatchewan, 

 inaugurated about a year ago, has already 

 given most encouraging results. Since the 

 formation of an agricultural instruction com- 

 mittee last winter and the appointment of 

 Messrs. Cocks and Bates as directors of 

 School Agriculture, much preparatory work 

 has been done by them to encourage the 

 formation of school gardens, by interview, 

 ing teachers and trustees, and by giving 

 lectures and addresses to public meetings. 

 A Farm Boys' Camp held at Regina Exhi- 

 bition was a pronounced success, and the 

 number of excellent Junior Fall Fairs, which 

 have been held at various points, show 

 clearly the good results obtained. 



The benefit derived from bringing all the 

 children in the Province on an equal foot- 

 ing in school garden competitions is very 

 evident, and has been pointed out by many 

 public speakers, for not only have the 

 children of non-English-speaking communi- 

 ties had their share of successes in these 

 competitions, but several scholarship win- 

 ners are to be found amongst them. 



The latest evidence of co-operation be- 

 tween the Departments of Education and 

 Agriculture is that the latter has under- 

 taken to provide the seeds of vegetables, 

 flowers, grasses, cereals and trees at a re- 

 duced price. A catalogue of the seeds is 

 now in course of preparation, and will be 

 sent out to every school district before the 

 end of the year.
