AGRICULTURE 



It-tins on school gardens, and consider whether your school can longer 

 afford to do without one. See also note to Section XXX II and Appen- 

 dix. In city schools or elsewhere, boxes of flowers in the windows 

 serve a useful purpose. Let the main aim be to make the pupils closer 

 observers and more appreciative of flowers. Urge them to bring flowers 

 to the class now and later to be used as object lessons. Familiarize the 

 pupils with the foliage as well as with the blooms of the flowers that can 

 be inspected. Is an excursion to some greenhouse or flower pit prac- 

 ticable?
