What the Child
Sees in the
Garden.
GAINS," FOR SEEING
IS BELIEVING"
Plants Not All Weeds and Sweet
est Flowers Grow Among
Vegetables.
At the Nature Study meeting Tues
day evening Mr. Pope, agricultural in
structor at the Normal School, read the
following interesting paper on School
Gardens:
It was something less than a hun
dred years ago that the educators of
the leading European countries began
to see the benefit of school gardens in
connection with their common schools.
The early growth was slow and steady,
while in the last twenty-flve years this
branch of their educational system has
made rapid progress. It is supposed
that Sweden alone has 20,009 school gar
dens, France 'about 30,000, with Eng
land, Germany and Austria each a pro
portional number.
In due time- this educational function
began to expand throughout 'the. United
States, Massachusetts taking the lead,
followed closely by New York, New
Jersey, Ohio and Wisconsin, with many
of the other States taking up the work
"We find their agricultural and
horticultural societies along with city
governments, school boards and private
individuals encouraging it by offering
prizes for good work, by furnishing lit
erature and by making liberal dona
tions of plants, seeds and money.
The school garden is a laboratory for
the students of nature. It is a place
set aside where they can study the life
history of plants at their convenience,
a place to train the hand, the eye and
the mind to handle, to see and to com
prehend some of the common things
about them. Some one says, "Seeing
is believing." It is more than that; it
is knowing and remembering. The
mere reading of statements in some
text-book in the sultry school room is
of little value compared with the ob
servation of those facts that present
themselves in the garden. To go out
into the garden, work up the soil, plant
the seeds and watch the germination
and growth to maturity is by far the
better way if not the only way to get
the pupils interested in the things that
grow. We all agree that without in
terest good results cannot be obtained.
Any kind of a plant is of some interest
if it is nothing more than a- weed. But
the cultivation of flowers, vegetables
and fruit will be more beneficial as
their products can be made a source of
income worthy of mention as well as
specimens of study.
School gardens may vary in size from
a single flower bed to as much as an
acre of land, where many things can r
be raised. These gardens can be of
several kinds. The teachers of a school
may have an inclosed plat or portion
for their own private recreation, where
they can show their skill in growing,
training and . ornamental arrangement.
The students' co-operative garden,
which is one of the most common sys
tems practiced in the United States, s
cared for and studied by the entire stu
dent body under the direction of the in
structors.. It is this form of garden
that is generally recommended for the;the fair pavilion more than covering
common schools where the pupils are !
of various ages and of unmatched skill. !
in iiiiomer system me garaen is ai- i
A'idf d so as to give each pupil a plat; in
this way they can grow and study those '
plants that they choose. This system
gives a mixed arrangement and a very
poor landscape;, but it plainly shows
th care or neglect of the various in
dividuals. It also affords opportunity
for greater enthusiasm and a strife to j
produce the best. j
Again, the school garden can be di
vided into plats each manipulated by
small classes or squads of pupils in
charge of F.enior students. This sys
tem of instruction is perhaps the most
practical for normal schools as it will
enable the graduates to be in readiness
to present to the common schools this
method of studying plant life. i
We often see gardens containing both
flowers and vegetables, but the flower .
garden is the most common, and per- '
haps far more beneficial for study, on
account of its attractions.
- In preparing the garden select a good
location, where the . plats will not be
shaded by the tops of large trees or the
fioil sapped of its vitality by their roots.
The soil should be made rich and
plowed or spaded up deeply and raked
into beds about four feet wide and from
twelve to twenty feet in length. These
dimensions can be conveniently culti
vated. The most natural way to start the
plants is by sowing the seeds in the
beds, but it is not alwavs practica-
ole to do so on account of the coarse Board of Trade relative to the methods

Fair made by chairman P. R.
Helm, signed by P. R. Helm, George
W. Smith, J. W. Waldron, W. W.
Dimond, J. G. Rothwell and Robert
Catton, gave a financial statement
showing total receipts of $2645. The
total expenditures were $2,417.60, leav
ing a cash balance of . $227.40. The report
concluded witn the following remarks:
"It is with pleasure that your commit
tee calls the attention of the asso
ciation to the decided returns received
in some quarters from the fair. In
several lines there were sales made at
the entire cost of the display and gen
eral trade throughout the city received
an
impetus, and we believe that the
results will warrant the regular estab
lishment of an industrial, mercantile
and agricultural fair which, if made
broad in scope, would be of general
value to the Islands, and could be made (
of suflicent attraction to draw visitors (
from the Mainland. j i
"It is but fitting in closing this re-' )
port to express on behalf of the asso-' ?
tion, our thanks, and appreciation for
the work done by the press of the
Islands, not alone the newspapers of
Honolulu, but those of Hilo and Wai
luku as well; to tne gentlemen who
acted as judges of award; to the mem-;
bers of the Jockey Club, who carried
through a successful race meet, and to
i the president and members of the base-!
ball league, who arranged a special .
series of games.'.' j

was as follows: .
"Referring to the conversation of
yesterday, I have the honor to submit
the plan by which I ran the 'Informa
tion Bureau.' It was planned to insert
in about fifty of the most prominent;
dailies throughout the States an ad
vertisement worded something in thej
following manner: 'Full and reliable
information concerning the commercial
and other conditions in the Territory!
of Hawaii. Positions sought and ac-j
commodations arranged. Enclose one
dollar for reply.' Enlarging upon this
idea, I thought of inserting a similar
advertisement in country papers. By
this means the farming population
would be reached. The vast majority !
of these papers are 'patent sheet' and
the expense would be small compared ,
with that of the dailies, and the num
ber of people reached very large. At '
t!"? head of the paragraph a cut of!
:..:e hist-, iic or scenic place might be
inserted. 'Blocks' could be prepared at
a nominal cost and changed from one
paper to the other, as often as deemed
necessary by the manager of the bu-
reau

such persons as might be induced to
visit the Islands through the agency."
