Publishers and editor offer Gardening to 
the schools with every confidence in its 
sincerity and practicability. They believe 
it to be that rare product in the publish- 
ing world, a text in a subject that holds a 
secondary place in the schools, worked out 
with the same skill and attention to details 
that are given to the making of texts in 
subjects having a major place in the curric- 
ulum. World Book Company shares the 
author’s conviction that gardening should 
be taught in our schools. Its hearty accord- 
ance with a pedagogy that combines know- 
ing and doing in an almost perfect way might 
easily have been forecast from the motto, 
“The application of the world’s knowledge 
to the world’s needs.” Alike to the friends 
of school gardening and to those who do 
not yet realize the educational richness of the 
garden field, this volume is commended
