After this interesting course, the girls have more than ever come to believe in School Gardening as a “sound and reliable means of education and of moral regeneration. In these gardens experience, moral self-control and industry grow as well as the garden truck. Several of the students are planning to take the examinations for positions as assistant gardeners in Philadelphia this summer. 4= The Seniors have completed their course in bookkeeping. Under the able instruction of Mr. A. C. Geissler, the girls have mastered the principles of double-entry, posting and of making up statements of profits and loss, and resources and liabilities. Practical work has been resumed in Soils.” Each Friday afternoon the Juniors are busy performing experiments with the different types of soil. By means of these tests, the structure, texture and porosity of heavy and light soils are determined. The effects of fertilizers and of tillage, both judicious and injudicious, are studied and tabulated. This work adds much interest to the subject. Visitors Miss Katharine Reid, Brooklyn, X. Y.
