EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT IN CHARGE OF EXEBCISES Civic Club Will Hold Interesting Ex ercises To-morrow at the Fresh Air School, Fifth and Seneca Streets To-morrow afternoon the educa tional department of the Civic Club will hold some interesting exercises at the Susquehanna school building. This is the fresh air school, situated corner ot Seneca and Fifth streets. The school board put several thousand dollars iu the proper equipment of the building itsell for this class of pupils, but there seemed no funds to put the grounds in proper order. The grounds, too, in fact, were about as unattractive as school grounds could be, and the Civic Club was anxious to do something to ward their betterment. oome years ago the board gave the educational department permission to beautify the grounds of the school buildings, and while some advantage lias been taken of this permission, the department has not done as much as it wished through lack of funds. The Susquehanna building, however, made a peculiarly strong appeal to the wom en. Ihe grounds are 112-0 by 100 feet fi!* 3 D °^, a Spear of B rass was growing there. The ground was ungraded, full ot lumps and hillocks, and the soil was made of ashes. The cost of putting the grounds in proper shape wag so tre mendous that it was evident the de fu r fuli nt 00 " l(1 DOt meet tlle ex pense However it was fortunate enough to enlist the aid of W. H. Lynch, held ot the department of streets and pub lic improvements and of Harvey M. Taylor, head of the department of parks and public grounds. The school premises bewg city property, the two commissioners could of course jrive legitimate aid there, and they did it most generously. Under Mr. Lynch's direction the ground was graded and some real soil placed on top of the ashes. City i orester Mueller, acting under the di rections of Mr. Taylor, hias surrounded the grounds with a most beautiful hedge; has planted trees, flowers and shrubs has made flower beds and a vegetable garden for the children—in fact has brought beauty from ugliness and has given the children a lesson in civic pride. While the flowers will not bo in bloom to-morrow or the grass sprouted, exercises will be held never theless in honor of the completion of the work. Some people have called it the most important work undertaken by the Civic Club. Those who never saw the grounds in their former condi tion cannot comprehend what a trans formation has taken place. All inter ested are invited to attend the exer cises which will commence promptly at 1.30 to-morrow. The Department paid for the planting and digging. Follow ing is the program: School verse, pupils; "Why We Are Here," Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones; greetings from the president of the Civic Club, Mrs. William Henderson; spring song, Marga'-t Rathfon; a few words from Harry Boyer, president of the School Board; William H.
