Dedication of Sun-Dial, the prize for best school garden. 
irict, as a reward for having the best 
school garden. The dedication in the 
autumn brought together parents, 
children, school authorities and city 
officials in a delightful, informal way. 
These occasions are always made as 
educative as possible, and we feel the 
results are very fruitful. 
The Doan school garden was a 
very close second and received a sun 
dial from the Home Gardening Asso- 
ciation. 
We are hoping from time to time to 
add features of real artistic merit and 
permanent value to the school yards. 
Many gardens in the city have been 
re-arranged. Sun dials have been 
placed, benches and seats secured, 
showing that a suggestion is all that 
garden. It

In close connection with the work 
Miss Miller describes, we present 
also three illustrations from the 
eighth annual report of the Cleveland 
Home Gardening Association, whose 
remarkable work in the beautifying 
of home and school grounds have 
been noted before in these pages. 
The association distributed 546,946

When Mrs. James M. Bryer pre- 
sented the sun dial she closed her re- 
marks as follows: 
‘‘As we leave our gift with you, 
may we hope that ever as you look 
upon it, it shall be to you as a symbol 
of what your lives should portray. 
May the deep dug foundation be the 
cement of education and training that 
no process of time or nature can dis- 
turb or take away. Upon which shall 
be firmly placed the granite of char- 
acter that the storms and stress of 
this life shall only polish and make 
more beautiful, and ever above shall 
this slender finger pointing upward, 
ever point you to those higher, better, 
finer things that like this dial shall be 
the crowning grace and beauty of 
your whole life’s structures. In the 
name of the Cleveland Sorosis, I pre- 
sent this sun dial to Rosedale school 
garden.” , ^ ,
