AMONG SCHOOL GARDENS 



Therein" has become almost a text-book in 

 many schools in connection with the school 

 garden. ''Children and Gardens/' an English 

 book by Gertrude Jekyll, is suggestive, though 

 written primarily for home conditions. "School 

 Gardening for Little Children/' by Lucy R. 

 Latter, who did so much for the school garden 

 movement in England, has chapters which were 

 originally written for the Practical Teacher "in 

 the hope that the experience set forth might en- 

 courage other teachers to introduce nature teach- 

 ing into their schools." It is very explicit, de- 

 lightfully written, and full of helpfulness to both 

 teacher and children. The " School Garden Book," 

 by P. Emerson and C. M. Weed, is valuable. It 

 outlines the work for each month throughout the 

 year. Finally, of perennial interest, will always 

 remain that pioneer, "The School Garden," by Dr. 

 Erasmus Schwab of Vienna, the originator of this 

 recent, happy means of making school and its 

 studies delightful to children.
