School Garden Army and Its 

 Purpose 



Quotation Jrom paper by Lester S. Evans, Regional Director 

 of the U. S. School Garden Army, Washington, D. C. 

 "The United States school garden army * * * enlisted 

 1 ,680,000 garden soldiers in the United States during the 

 year 1918, probably more than 3,000,000 in 1919, and it 

 is estimated that more than 4,000,000 school children in 

 the United States will be working gardens under school 

 supervision during 1920. Children had greater appreci- 

 ation of food after having experience in its production 

 and preservation, * * * * and were taught valuable les- 

 sons in thrift, industry, patriotism, and responsibility."

 trellises, etc. These vines grow fast, they have large leaves, 

 and make welcome shade in summer.
