SCHOOLS OF LANDSCAPING. 



In the Gardeners' Magazine (Lon- 

 don) there recently appeared an ex- 

 haustive discussion of the facilities of- 

 fered in several countries for securing 

 an education along the increasingly im- 

 portant line of landscape architecture, 

 from which the following is taken: 



"It is in the United States that one 

 finds a model precedent which may be 

 of great assistance, and it will surprise 

 many to find how seriously the question 

 of education in the art of landscape 

 gardening is considered in that go-ahead 

 country. It is, in many respects, an ideal 

 land for the development of gardening 

 of all kinds, owing to the individual 

 wealth and public spirit of the inhab- 

 itants — to competition - in luxury — to 

 the sylvan resources of the country, and 

 to the new and vast spaces available for 

 treatment. 



' ' The capacity of Americans to con- 

 centrate and specialize makes them rivals 

 always to be respected, and there is lit- 

 tle fear that impracticable schemes of 

 education will be found at their best 

 universities. Americans use the phrase 

 'landscape architect' in place of our 

 term 'landscape gardener,' but in the 

 references which follow the English ex- 

 pression is substituted. 



"Definite instruction in landscape 

 gardening is given at Cornell University, 

 Ithaca, N. Y.; at the University of 

 Illinois, Urbana; at Columbia Univer- 

 sity, New York city; at Massachusetts 

 Institute of Technology, Boston; and at 

 Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass. 

 Some tuition in landscape gardening is 

 offered by many of the horticultural and 

 agricultural schools and colleges, but I 

 do not know what weight is to be at- 

 tached to it. A typical example of this 

 group is to be found in the Massachu- 

 setts State Agricultural College at 

 Amherst. 



"The course offered at the famous 

 University of Harvard is decidedly the 

 most complete and important obtainable 

 in America. . The oflScial register of the 

 university deals with and illustrates the 

 importance attached to the question 

 fully. 



"A pamphlet issued in 1907 states 

 that 'the object of the courses of edu- 

 cation outlined, is to provide instruction 

 in the elements of technical knowledge, 

 and training in the application of prin- 

 ciples of design, which together form 

 the proper basis for the professional 

 practice of landscape gardening.' A 

 student may obtain professional train- 

 ing in landscape gardening in Harvard 

 University, including both elementary 

 and advanced work, or having had the 

 necessary preparation in another col- 

 lege or scientific school, may proceed at 

 once to the graduate courses. By reg- 

 istering in Harvard College a student 

 may elect courses which will be counted 

 for the A.B. or S.B. degree, and prepare 

 him for the concentrated professional 

 study in the Graduate School of Ap- 

 plied Science."
