2 6 THE SCHOOL GARDEN. 



The school garden will not only take care of the gen- 

 eral education of the children ; but will do duty on 

 other points, for scientific instruction forms only a part 

 of the instruction of the people. A lively moral feeling 

 and a sound religious direction are impressed by it upon 

 the youth, and thus the public school may turn out a 

 race so virtuous, brave and thrifty through indepen- 

 dence, as it would be difficult to produce without the 

 help of so beneficent an aid to progress as a good school 

 garden.
