TEXTBOOK OF LANDSCAPE GARDENING 
8. Is there a good “‘swimmin’ hole’? — one or more? Might 
there be other swimming holes established? Are these on private 
land? Could and should such facilities be made public? Should 
there be similar bathing facilities available to the girls? 
These questions should not be answered from memory and 
upon snap judgment but upon mature reflection and frequent 
re-examination of the land. After each pupil has matured and 
written out these answers the questions should be taken up in de- 
tail for group discussion in class. It is neither probable, necessary 
nor desirable that full agreement will be reached on all such questions. 
What is important is that they shall be freely and fully considered 
and that each pupil shall develop a genuinely personal point of view 
regarding such matters. 
Making photographs of scenery during such studies will be 
found most helpful, and an exhibition of such photographs with 
contributions from many students will have great educational value.
