In a later Leaflet the preparation for the Second Annual Chil- 
dren’s Garden Exhibit will be discussed. Any school may make 
an appointment with the Assistant Curator of Public Instruction 
to have this matter presented before its pupils, so that children 
or schools who wish to compete may conduct their gardens with 
that end in view.
