i^r supervising the work and for teaching nature lessons based 

 on the pupils' actual experiences. The pupils are also provided 

 with booklets on gardening. The seed packets, too, give direc- 

 tions for planting and cultivating and also suggest specific lines 

 of observation. More than 6,000 children in about 200 schools 

 will be interested in the work this year, in at least one feature. 

 One of the gratifying responses has been applications from forty 

 schools for the vines. About sixty schools will have forestry 

 seedling plots at the schools. More than this number are fram- 

 ing a picture of the Agricultural College as a school decoration. 

 The work is only in the experimental stage. There are 

 signs that it may grow into large, influential uses as time goes 

 on.
