CO-OPERATING FOR HOME AND SCHOOL GARDEN WORK
Chattanooga, Tciui., has organized a plan for introducing school
and home gardens that is considered one of the best yet devised for
interesting various community groups in home-garden work.
The Chattanooga plan, according to reports received by the. Hur
eau of Education of the Department of the Interior, enlists federal,
tate, city and local association agencies in the work. The following
are actively represented in the movement for school gardens: United
States Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education, through the
commissioner and an assistant in home and school gardens; City of
Chattanooga, Department of Education and Health, through the com
missioner of Education and Health, superintendent of schools and gar
den supervisor; Federation of School Improvement Leagues, through
its president; presidents of district leagues representing the eleven
districts; directors of home gardening; principals, teachers, parents,
pupils ; the newspaper.
Similar work to that of Shattanooga, though in most cases not so
carefully organized, is being done in thirty-two cities this year thru
a special appropriation by congress in 1915. In describing the move
ment for home gardening directed by the school, Dr. P. P. Claxton,
commissioner of education, declares:
"After the school day is finished and during the long vacation
period, millions of American children are idle. Without proper oc
cupation, these future citizens of the United States are thrown on
their own resources for amusement until school begins again.
"It seems manifestly the duty of the public schools to furnish
employment for these millions of idle young people. The schools are
established and maintained for the purpose of educating children in
to manhood and womanhood and for preparing the mfor citizenship.
"The Bureau of Education, after much careful thought and re
search work, has evolved a system of home gardening done under the
direction of the schools that seems to offer many opportunities for this
ore of instruction and for filling satisfactorily the child's idle hours.
"The Bureau recommends that there should be in each schorl
throughout the country at least one teacher who knows gardening
both scientifically and practically. This teacher should be employed
twelve months in the year, should teach elementary science in llr.
tahool during the school hours and should, out of school hours, direct
the home gardening of the children between the ages of 10 and 15
jears.
"If possible, the teacher should have the assistance of an expert
gardener so that the work may be done in the most practical and prof
itable way. The teacher and the gardener should help the ehildiei.
find the plots of ground near their homes best suitable for gardeii
work, aid them by some co-operative method in having the lots prop
erly plowed and prepared for cultivation, help them select seed aim
how them how to plant, cultivate, and harvest, so as to obtain tin
best results. The teacher should spend the afternoons and Saturdays
ef winter, spring, and fall, when school is in session, ami all of the va
cation days of summer, visiting the children in their homes, directing
their work, and giving to each child such help as it most needs. One.
a week or oftener, during the vacation months, the teacher should as
semble the children in groups for a discussion of their work ami oi
the principles and methods involved.
"Vegetables, berries, and fruits grown should be used first a
food for the children and their families; then the surplus should h
marketed to the best advantage. Through the help of the teaehe,
this can be done in a co-operative way. Ten or 15 cents' worth o.
vegetables each day from the gardens of 200 children would amoun.
to $20 or $30. In summer and fall, when the surplus is large and cat
not be marketed to advantage, the teacher should direct and help tin
children in canning and preserving for winter home use or for sab
The canning and tomato clubs have already shown what can be don
in this way.
"It is difficult to estimate all the results of this plan once it is it
full operation throughout the country. For the children it will meat,
kealth, strength, joy in work, habits of industry, an understanding oi
the value of money as measured in terms of labor, and such knowledge
of the phenomena and forces of nature as must be had for an under
standing of most of their school lessons.
"This plan in full operation would offer a valuable supplemeni
to the child-labor laws. A proper 6U.b.sLitule for hurtful child Lho.
is only less desirable than its prohibition. A boy 10 or 12 years old.
with a small plot of land, working under careful direction, can pro
duce more for the support of the family than could be purchased wit I
the same boy's wages working in factory, shop or mill.
"Everyone grieves to sec children ground in the mills, or such
ed in the factories and shops. It is a crime to sap their strength an
ruin their health by forcing them to toil in the heat and turmoil o
indoor industries. Vet there isn't a doubt in the mind of the seriou
ocial and economic worker that all children should learn to worl
Work is good for them and they enjoy it. And what work could l
more ideal than work in a garden?"
