"There should be a pool in every garden,” said Mr. Edgar 
Rice Burroughs, famous author of the Tarzan stories. "I have 
always had as many as space permitted. Children learn so much 
from pools. The birds come for drinks, and the children 
learn to know them. Pollywogs hatch and turn into frogs. 
Water-lilies bloom generously. And the ground around a pool 
lends itself to such interesting plant growing."-—Better Homes 
U Gardens, August, 1931.
