The land, tools, seeds and instructor were 

 furnished by the Company. Most of the 

 boys supplied their families with vegetables 

 duringf the summer months, and many earned 

 enough money by the sale of vegetables not 

 needed at home to pay for their school books. 



The boys were given a supper, ten money 



prizes amounting to $35, five prizes each in 

 the form of the Youth's Companion for a 

 year, bronze medals and a stereopticon lec- 

 ture by the president, Mr. Patterson. 



Such an example is most worthy of imita- 

 tion by other companies and associations 

 having in view the uplifting and proper 

 training of boys.
