108 NATURE-STUDY REVIEW [18:3— Mch., 1921 



work done by their predecessors by not only caring for the planting 

 already done but to add a new feature in keeping with the example 

 set them. 



A committee appointed each month takes charge of the plans 

 which have been carefully worked out and sees to it that each group 

 of pupils carries out the task assigned to it. 



A portion of the grounds, ideally located for such a purpose, is 

 being developed as a demonstration garden. When finished with 

 bird fountain, garden seats, arches, and trellises it will indeed be a 

 thing of beauty and a real joy as well as an inspiration to the com- 

 munity. 



A group of scarlet oaks planted as a memorial to fallen heroes 

 who formerly attended the school is growing vigorously and will 

 soon afford relief from the hot afternoon sun during the summer. 



While these activities are going on outdoors with every child 

 taking an active part, every room and the halls are brightened with 

 pot plants in vigorous condition. While paper-white narcissi were 

 in full glory from Thanksgiving until February first, over five 

 hundred tulips, hyacinths, and daffodils, potted in the fall, were 

 gradually forced into bloom. Many a dark day lost its gloom when 

 these unfolded their brilliant blossoms. 



Spring is eagerly awaited so that the work may begin or rather 

 continue in full force outdoors. 



EXTRACTS FROM THE SUPERVISOR'S REPORT, LOUISVILLE, KY. 



Emilie Yunker 



Supervisor 



Never before has there been such interest manifested in school 

 gardens as this year. More intensive gardening has been practiced 

 and a better system of cropping has been developed. A closer 

 relationship has been established with other departments. Excel- 

 lent diagrams were made in the drawing department; studies in 

 measuring, estimating values, marketing of products were con- 

 ducted in Arithmetic; reports were written in the English classes, 

 and flats, window-boxes, labels, trellises, flower stands and tool 

 racks were made in the Manual Training department. Projects 

 on broom corn, asparagus, com, peanuts, and others were devel- 

 oped, thereby laying the foundation for much purposeful study, 

 enriched with knowledge and experience.
