man, president of the North Shore 
Horticultural society, to explain the 
plan of the society to interest the 
school children in gardens. He said 
the members of the society had thus 
far been doing most of its work among 
themselves, holding discussions, exhi- 
bitions, and the like, and now they 
wanted to do something to help 
others. It was the plan to have a 
parcel of ground set aside and divide 
it up into small parcels some 8x12 
feet and let the children have an op- 
portunity to do work for themselves. 
Prizes would be offered the children 
at the exhibitions of the society. 
Eric H. Wetterlow spoke along the 
same line, and expressed the hope 
that all would do their best to bring 
this thing about. The children ought 
to be taught how to plant and till the 
soil. 
The social hour followed, ice cream 
and cake being served.
