BOOSTING LAND SHOW
The Northern Pacific is out with
an elaborate illustarted folder
booklet advertising the North
western Land Products Show to
be held in thp Auditorium at St
Paul, December 12th to 23rd.
It is profusely illustrated with
pictures of exhibits which have
been made in the past, also with
scenes from each of the north
western states through which the
Northern Pacific extends. A well
written account of the opportuni
ties which exist in each of the
states is given, and the booklet
not alone contains a forceful in
vitation to visit the land show,
but it goes further, and sets forth
compelling inducements to travel
through the Northwest to see its
productivity, and. having seen, to
locate here. The purpose of the
Northwestern Development League
and the Northwestern Land Show
are fully set forth, and in that
connection the folder says:
"The first great exhibition of
products, exclusively of the north
western states, will be held in the
city of St. P0ul, Minn, December
12 to 23, 1911. It wiil be under
the auspices of the newly formed
N or
League, an organization having
for its purpose to tell the world
what we have, and by the telling,
to influence settlement and de
velopment of the rich common
wealths comprised in the league
that is, the state of Minnesota
North Dakota, South Dakota
Montana, Idaho, Washington Ore
gon and also Alaska. The land
products exhibition in St. Paul is
one means adopted for carrying
out the objects of the Northwest
ern Development League. It will
be a show of the northwest states,
by the northwest states, and for
the northwest states, and not to
promote private or corporate in
terests."
Copies of the folder may be had
by addressing the general passen
ger agent office of the Northern
Pacific railway in St. Paul, or
any of its offices or principal
agencies.

SCHOOL GARDENS OF LONDON
Attempts to Grow Plants In Slums of
Metropolis Elicit Praise of
American Expert.
\v
A very Interesting report on Eng
lish school gardens has recently been
issued by the United States depart
ment of agricultural as bulletin 204.
It was written by Miss Susan B. Sipe,
a collaborator of the bureau of plant
Industry and teacher of botany and
nature study in one of the normal
schools in the city of Washington.
This report is based upon investiga
tions made by the author during a Eu
ropean trip. The local reader cannot
but wish that some of the unfortunate
children mentioned could be brought
to California, where there is at last
a small plat of earth for every child
in the state. It Is stated regarding a
school in Whitechapel (London)
where no unoccupied ground sur
rounds: "Each pupil has a small
space assigned to her in the roof gar
den, boxes, scarcely more than a foot
square, "but even so, more than she has
at home."
The writer regrets that lack of
space forbids the reproduction of
much of value and Interest to be found
in this report, but advises every one
entrusted with the teaching of nature
study or school gardening to get this
most valuable bulletin. When we read
of the futile attempts to grow plants
in the London slums one marvelB that
our own school gardens, where man
and nature have both conspired to ren
der conditions unusually favorable,
are not overrun with a riotous pro
fusion of leaf %pd blossom. Cn the
window slits in the hafi were some In
teresting though pathetic attempts of
the East Side children to grow plants
at home. The children were asked to
bring pots and soil from home in which
to plant seeds and bulbs. The re
sponse proved the scarcity of such
things in their homes. The teachers
then procured the material. Seeds
were given them and when vacation
came the plants were taken home to
be cared for. In one pot were a half
dozen varieties of weeds, the original
plant having been choked out of exis
tence, but the child-owner of the pot
though them 'so beautiful.' Stunted
and sickly merigolds and nasturtiums
gave ample proof of the blighting ef
fect of London smoke."
Notwithstanding the hard conditions
under which they labor this school
gardening is on a much broader,
grander and more comprehensive
scale than anything we attempt No
doubt there is far greater need of it
An exhibition was held in July in one
of the Whitechapel districts and there
were collections of wild flowers from
two country schools paintings of wild
flowers and nature studies by many
of the schools in London collections
of flowers and shrubs suitable for
growing in London parks and gar
dens a model back yard and garden

might be done in an ordinary London
back yard at little expense a model
recreation ground 24 feet square, con
structed to illustrate the many health

Introduced into public playgrounds
under good management and good
planning, and many other valuable
features. It is said the exhibit
was
visited by 30,000 people, 25 schools
lent In exhibitions, and altogether it
xras a great affair.

Bonny lad with sold laced coat
Buttoned tightly to yoyr throat,
You have checked my hat for me
All this summer— Let me see.
When 'twaa new you first began
To care for It, little man
And each day when I came In
You received It—with a grin
At the first, and then your smile
Faded wholly after while.
Day by day you took the hat,
Day by day your hopes fell flat
I could almost know the time
You despaired about the dime.
Still with plucky hope you came
.To receive it. Just the same,
And with optomistic faith
Which changed to a wistful wraith
Of a smile, you greeted me
As politely as might be.
Sometimes you tyere very gram
When at noon you saw me come
Sometimes you were blithe and bland
As you took it from my hand—
I could see what was your bent
First, the subtle blandishment,
Then the haughty air and stern
As though you a tip would spurn,
Then a pitying glance, whose aim
Was to make me yield through shame.
Well, my lad, If I each time
Had have yielded up that dime,
I by now had paid to you
What the hat cost when 'twas new
Still I've had this two months' use
Of the hat that's my excuse.
Coax the smile now to your Hps
Here, I'll give you all the tips
Of the summer, as to that
You, my lad, may keep the batl
