 "It is desirable, where it can be made a class 

 exercise, that school time be devoted to this work, 

 for when done after hours it is necessarily volun- 

 tary, and those who do not volunteer are often the 

 ones it is especially desirable to reach/' — "School 

 Gardens,"' U. S. Bulletin No. i6o. Office of Ex- 

 periment Station, page 43. 



" In the school garden the fact should always be 

 kept prominent that the pupil is to be the most 

 active factor. We can put things in his way to 

 help him develop properly and keep him from 

 some of the things that fail so to help him, but 

 we cannot do his developing for him, and if he is 

 to have a knowledge of the elementary principles 

 of life, of industry, of mankind, of beauty and 

 justice, he must grow into these things by means 

 of first hand experience with them. To obtain 

 this growth and to eliminate some undesirable 

 things in the school, the school garden should 

 certainly prove efficient." — "School Gardens," 

 U. S. Bulletin No. 160.

 ganized for the development of school gardening 

 and other activities tending to occupy the people
