For five years our horticultural school has given a 

 course for teachers, which is held in two divisions of four- 

 teen days, one in spring, the other in August. A quite 

 special programme is sketched out for it, and everything 

 necessary for regulating a school garden is taught to 

 teachers in the shortest possible way. Teachers must carry 

 out all the tasks given, by themselves. Twenty-five 

 teachers have taken advantage of this course, four of 

 these from Konigsberg, in East Prussia.
