cared for by the children's class, and in September the products 

 were harvested by the half bushel basket, beans and radishes 

 supplying the most abundant crops. Since then the lot has re- 

 mained cleared and available for garden purposes. The ashes 

 and other materials contributed before its transformation, seem 

 tp have added to its productivity rather than to have interfered 

 with its success. The faithful workers of 1909 visit the school each 

 year and proudly recall how they made their garden.

The school since its beginning has been under the management 

 of the Department of Public Instruction of New Jersey, assisted 

 by a local board of trustees in Cape May and supported pratically 

 by state appropriations. Last summer it passed from under the 

 original management and became one of the number of schools 

 under full control of the state. The system of certification of work 

 is thereby somewhat changed, but the spirit, which has dominated 

 the school since its beginning, will be an influence in the state con- 

 tinuing as long as its students recall their busy but happy summers 

 at Cape May.
