Establishing a School Garden may change the entire 
healthfulness of a neighborhood. The school grounds, 
themselves may be better planned and more healthful, but 
the best effect may be at the homes. The School Gardener 
soon wants a garden at home. No matter how small the 
3 r ard, there is room for a garden for the boy or girl, even if 
it has to he established in a soap-box. There is much waste 
room often used for ashes, tin cans, or rubbish in many 
3 r ards. What was once unsightly, unsanitary, and unpro¬ 
ductive, becomes a resort of beauty, of health and utilitv r 
for a whole family. It opens up a source of revenue, 
creates a love of industry, and respect for property, and is 
often the beginning of better things. The gardener be¬ 
comes a better American citizen.
