In our own country, Wisconsin, Missouri and Michigan are the slates that have made sonic advance in establishing such gardens in connection with the public schools. New York has forty hnrlicull'.iral schools in different parts of the state pi connection with the agricultural department of Cornell university. New Hampshire has a school garden in connection with its state normal school. In this garden all the grains H.n,i vegetables grown In the region are cultivated, and also a great variety of flowers, and tbe students in the training and normal departments take pari in the work. In connection with a few Individual schools in different Idealities, some gardens have been established. One of the best known instances Is the George Putnam school, Boston, where the school yard whs turned into a garden which has won prizes from the State Horticultural society of Massachusetts. Here in Colorado a serious obstacle, of course, is the fact that we can raise nothing without Irrigation, and, as a rule, nur country school houses are located In the most arid spot in an arid region. But were public spirit and interest sufficiently awakened upon this question, the meuns of solving the problem would be found in most Instances. In many cases a farmer might be found public spirited enough to donate the few square rods of ground for the purpose, or with out school finances permanently improved, with alight additional expense, a isirtlon of the school ground could le made available for the purpose. At the present Mine the grounds of most of the school houses of the state are an Illustration of the abomination of desolation, and their influence upon our young people Is. to say the least, not of an elevating : 'Hi j., en- 1 W1ER , r Absolutely Pure .

The school garden idea is not a new one. for we And it stated that the elder had Cyrus, king of Persia, 559 B. C., laid out the first school garden In Persia. in which the sons of noblemen were Instructed In horticulture. The Italian and other universities of Europe had botanical gardens ss early as the fifteenth century, and the noted educator, Comenius, who lived from 1598 to 1671. maintained that a garden should be connected with every school. lossl and Froebel urged that all children should do garden work. However, the garden as a feature of the elementIdea. ary school work Is a modem School Gardens and Nuresries. A feature of the normal schools of France la the school gardens anda There Is nurseries of fruit trees. course of agriculture in the normal school for men and of horticulture foe women, and the Instruction received by teachers in the normal school la in the school gardens established the country. The system nature. Any horticultural work that has been done by our Colorado schools up to the present time has been mainly through the Influence of Arbor day, which last year was more generally observed than ever before, and In spite of unfavorable conditions some good work has been accomplished. Of the 1.500 school districts in the state, reports have been received that 558 last year celebrated Arbor day. The schools planted 8.194 trees, 668 shrubs and made 783 flower bed a greater number than has ever been attained through all previous Arbor days. Creating Public Interest, The department of public Instruction has endeavored to stimulate this work, and has yearly sent out literature designed to create a greater and more intelligent interest in the subject, calling attention to the urgent necessity of In some way repairing the immeasurable harm done to our agricultural Interests by the wanton destruction of our forests, and touching also upon the need for protection of our bird life at present threatened with annihilation, and which is of such importance to the horThe office ticulturist of our state. urge the planting of grove of tree rather than single specimen, and also the beautifying of our school grounds by shrubs and flowers. The horticultural society might greatly assist In creating an Interest in such work throughout the state. The plan of having school gardens is a most natural one, and during the next quarter of a century we shall wonder how the schools ever got along without them and been true to their purpose, which I take to be the development of the child as a citizen and 1 have long believed that our schools would be able to accomplish more and better work If the school day were divided into two distinct parts, devoting lf to the literary and book work, and the other half to manual and art studies, physical training and general work, and with this arrangement the gardening could readily be accomplished. We are all undoubtedly Interested in our public schools and anxious to more nearly approach ideal conditions In them. I have In my mind an Ideal of what should be embodied In the public school work, and these are some of its features; Ths School of the Future. The best school of the future will be a rural school.
