Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Landscape Improvement of Rural School Grounds The following bulletin, written at our request by Professor J. W. Gregg of the University of California, with the addition of lists of trees, shrubs and ﬂowers, suitable for school grounds, furnished by Assistant Professor Ralph T. Stevens, and Miss K. D. Jones, while designed to meet some of the immediate and pressing needs of our schools, has elements of permanent value. It, therefore, should not only receive careful consideration now, but be kept for future reference and study whenever the planning or planting of school grounds is to be undertaken. The detailed plans for grounds are sufficiently numerous and varied to be distinctly helpful to any district where the school grounds are ample enough to admit of landscape treatment. Grounds of such amplitude are of course desirable for every school. It is not always feasible to provide them in large cities, but there is no suburban or rural district in California that can not have them if only there be a' resolute and an intelligently directed effort to do so. In districts where the present population is too small to provide or to maintain such grounds, the desired ends can be obtained by judicious consolida tion of neighboring schools. Such consolidation would result in a triple benefit, for not only could the school grounds be enlarged and beauti fied, but the school buildings could be made more spacious, and more convenient, while the courses of instruction, made more numerous and more varied, could be carried on under better conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Gardening IN the curriculum of the rural, the provincial, or even the urban school, there is no more delightful subject than that which is treated of in the following pages. It is a subject that introduces the scholar to the possibilities of the soil and to those physical forces that in days past have built up our national wealth; it brings him into contact with the agencies of Nature whereby the plant is induced to yield its contribution to the dietary of the human race. There is no more fascinating work for boys who in their small gardens learn by seeing and doing. Of course, as in all things, it is essential that procedure should be carefully directed and both teachers and scholars should derive much useful information and guidance from this small book. School Gardening is gaining in popularity year by year, and county after county is adopting it as a valuable practical asset to the curricula of their schools. In its bearing on the study that is conducted in the class-room it has proved itself of sterling value as a medium for the correlation of the Nature subjects. It is a subject, however, that demands some amount of experience on the part of the instructor, and where this has been limited through uncontrollable circum stances the present work should do much to establish the teaching upon correct lines.

Godard, our State School Supervisors, have felt the necessity for presenting their teaching on industrial subjects in a more definite and permanent form. The need for this exists rather more keenly than in other departments of the educational field where the form of instruction has been agreed upon and fixed through custom and practice for years. This pamphlet is the result of their conference and deliberation at the Department of Education, and I cordially endorse its purpose, and believe it will be of decided benefit to the schools of the State.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Among School Gardens "Among School Gardens" is intended, (1) To answer the questions: What are school gardens? What purpose do they serve? Where are the best? (2) To give such explicit directions that a novice may be able to start a school garden; and to show that even the simplest one can be of great benefit to children. (3) To share with those already interested in school gardens knowledge of work done in different places. Until a few years ago it was difficult to obtain the right sort of instruction in school gardening unless one left home for a long period. Many are unable to do this. General information and some experience in cultivating flowers in a city yard constituted the few foundation stones upon which I decided to build a good superstructure of knowledge applicable to all phases of the subject. The fact that I had to collect my own equipment may enable me to help others who cannot obtain the proper training for school gardening.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gardens for New Brunswick Schools Care of the Garden After Planting - When once the planting is done. Two half-hours' work per week is sufficient to keep the garden in good condition. The prevention rather than the eradication of weeds should be aimed at. If cultivation is carried on regularly and systematically from the first. The weeds will all be destroyed in the germinating stage and will give no further trouble. Mere weed killing is not the greatest value to be gained by cultivation, however for if the soil is thoroughly stirred around the roots of the plants a couple of times every week. The necessary supply of air in the soil for rapid growth will be ensured. In many cases the top soil forms into a hard crust, especially after a heavy rainfall, and in this hard soil are many little channels through which moisture escapes into the air by evaporation. This soil should be finely pulverized to a depth of two or three inches, thus forming an earth mulch which prevents the rapid escape of moisture from the soil. If mulching and cultivation are thus carefully attended to, the difficult problems connected with the weeding and watering of the garden are incidentally solved. The garden rake should supersede the sprinkling can under ordinary circumstances. Of course it is necessary to water plants after transplanting, and there are certain soils that need watering occasionally during a dry season. But such cases are not common. If artificial watering is needed it should be done in the evening and a plentiful supply should be given. Merely wetting the surface soil encourages shallow rooting and is injurious to the plants.
