More and more thought is constantly be- 

 ing given to the surroundings of the pub- 

 lic schools. Not only with an object of 

 improving the appearance of the grounds 

 is this attention given, but with the ar- 

 rangement of children's gardens there is 

 seen direct bearing and influence upon the 



continued appreciation of nature by the pupils. The work of the 

 children in these small experimental gardens becomes both a source 

 of pleasure and training for later work. Also in this connection 

 comes the planning of children's playgrounds to give them the 

 space due them for enjoyment and in this way make the school 

 and its surroundings a place of attraction and interest to the 

 children.
