NATURE-STUDY REVIEW [14:3— Mar., 1918 



In the arithmetic class, they learn to keep their accounts accu- 

 rately, determine their financial status, and deposit their money 

 in the Bank. In the English class, reports of the work may be 

 written for the school paper. 



School gardening, by its very nature, cannot be separated from 

 civic training but must go hand in hand with it. It not only gives 

 opportunity for the development of the mental, physical and 

 social side of a child but in the training it affords in co-operation, 

 in the recognition of the rights of others, in arousing the sense of 

 personal responsibility, and in cultivating habits of activity and 

 painstaking care to say nothing of the business training before 

 mentioned, and moreover, it insures a development of civic pride 

 in the "Town Beautiful" which is coming more and rr. ore to be an 

 important factor in the success of town life. It affords the child 

 vital training in citizenship.
