Built for Experimental Purposes 

 Now a School 



Ever stop to think how many things start 

 to be one thing, and end in being an- 

 other? 



For example: Eli Whitney saw a cat 

 clawing off the feathers of a dead chicken, 

 and it ended in his invention of the cot- 

 ton gin, which separates the seed from 

 the cotton. 



Colonel Deeds, of Dayto.i, Ohio, built one 

 of our big houses, to conduct experi- 

 mental investigations with soils and fer- 

 tilizers. He ended with using it for ex- 

 perimenting with children instead. Ex- 



perimenting on teaching boys to be reg- 

 ular men from the start. 



The big house with its shaded roof is now 

 a full-fledged community, as it were, gov- 

 erned, in the main, by the boys. They 

 conduct regular business transactions 

 quite as you and I do, in the every-day 

 things. Of course, the usual school things 

 are likewise taught. 



Does this not prove conclusively that 

 Lord & Burnhams Greenhouses are well 

 built? They are. Time has proved that 

 Lord & Burnham build the best green- 

 house built.
