THE SCHOOL GARDEN

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS

In the spring of 1906, at the request of President R W Silvester of the Maryland Agricultural College, I wrote, for publication as a _College Bulletin_, arden The introduction of school gardens as a factor in the school curriculureat advanceh the main issue is the same to-day as it was then This paper is a revised edition of the _M A C

Bulletin_ That President Silvester was a pioneer in the thought that ”agriculture should enter into education” is shown by the following quotation from his introduction to my article of 1906:--

”The time must come when the child of rural environment must find in the only school which ninety per cent will ever attend, a training which will give it an intelligent adjustment to its environment With this adjustment, the future work of the child cannot reasonably expect to escape the state of drudgery When a life's work degenerates into this condition, then contentment with it, or happiness as a result of it, becomes an idle dream Can the accuracy of this statee for the writer to receive fro forth the particulars in which he is wrong

”Let all who are interested in the child from the country, and every one should be, take this as a reat work before us: 'The country is entitled from its state and froive him every opportunity to secure an education as well suited to his conditions, as is enjoyed by his city brothers and sisters'”
