Fig. 64.—At work "The garden is a lovesome thing, God wot; Rose plot, Fringed pool, Ferned grot; The veriest school Of Peace; And yet the fool Contends that God is not; God not ? In gardens; when the eve is cool! Nay, but I have a sign. ' Tis very sure God walks in ; It is time to begin to think about gardens. This article may come be- fore the teacher on a cold March day when the wind is blowing and the snow flying—when gardens may seem merely a dream of the past, and a doubtful promise of the future. Can any enthusiasm on the question be aroused at such times in the school- room? We believe it can. There should be some instruction in the growing of plants in every schoolroom in this State. Gardening is recognized as one of the best all- round helps in the education of a child. Since this is the case, let us be active in strengthening this line of work in New York State. I wish that there might be a well- organized school garden in connec- 735.
