At j tills season of the year, too, the work ; broaden*. It leaves the confines of the normal schools and takes Ui all of the public schools in the city. Arrange ments are made with one of the local seedsmen to sell penny packages of seed to the children for home planting. Many of the older teachers are not trained, so to aid them the board of education, through one of the normal 1 schools, issues sheets of simple in structions to aid the children to cor rectly plan, plant and care for the home garden. They are encouraged to care for the garden during the summer and to bring something they have rais ed wholly by themselves to thu flower show in the fall. It may be a growing plant, a bunch of flowers or a bottle of seed. Flower day is an established feature of Washington schools. On the 20tli of last September every school in the District of Columbia invited the public to its exhibit. All buildings were open until dark, nini whese the buildings were lighted they were open through out the evening. The throngs of peo pie who visited the schools gave suf ficient proof of the appreciation of the public for the movement. Civic improvement is thus encouraged I and nlso by school ground improve i meut. Three years ago there was but one gardeu connected with schools in j the District. Last year 120 of the 121 graded schools made an effort to Im prove their surroundings. The teach ers are urged to relate whatever is done outdoors to the subjects taught In the schoolrooms. Skillful teachers j relate geography, arithmetic, spelling, composition, literature, drawing and design to the garden. The latest encouragement given bj the department has been the offer ti the board of education «112 more than an acre of lawn to l>e used for cliil dreu's gardens. The board has accept j ed the offer and will put the first six : grades of a school in the vicinity to work upon it. Each school will spend j an afternoon a week in the garden 1111- i der the regular grade teacher, who will I be Instructed from tlie normal school t She will lie expected to relate the work : closely to the regular schoolr .0111 work i The time spent in the garden will !>t ( a part of school time and not aftei . hours, as has been so frequently done j before, thus making an added Imrdei. ) oil the teacher. Each < liilil will have j a plot entirely his own, varying in si/? \ according to his ability. Beside these j individual plots there \rill lie plots ten ! feet square of grains, forage crops and I important local products for observn | tlon purpose*. The garden will be und r the imilie- | 1 dlate care of the normal ,ehool during i vacation and will be considered as-a ' vacation school for the southwest sec- ! | tion of the city, thus fortunately allow- ! I lng the board of education to grant a ! petition from the parents of that sec j I tlon requesting such an opportunity j ' for their children during the summer. 1 SFSAN' 11. 1.1 PH. Washington, I>.

The prosperous west has been led to oelieve that a reduced tariff on maim facturos would largely inure to its netiefit, and for that reason it Is fa vorable to any si.'heme of reciprocity proposed. Hut the west loses sight of die dangers of a reciprocity on any oth er Hue than that proposed by the late ['resident McKiuley in his last public •speech to his countrymen, when he de clared in effect Hint there should be 110 i-eeipi-ic4ty that Interfered with the pro tection of home Industry. That is the line congress should hew to in dealing with the subject. The agricultural west also should remem ber the inevitable truth that its pros perity is due to the prosperity of the manufacturing east and that any tariff arrangement that threatens to endan ger manufactures and labor will surely have a disastrous effect 011 agriculture by diminishing the home market for its products. The dual tariff scheme is fraught \rith danger, and congress will be apt togo slow in its consideration should it come before it.—Camden Cou rier. Tuft mill (IK* There are two main points in the Philippine policy for which Secretary Taft seems to stand. One is that when a people who are utterly Incapable of governing themselves have come with in American control it is the right as well as the duty of the American gov ernment to administer their affairs in the interest of civilization and prog ress. That lie does not believe in self ish exploitation of a weaker people by a stronger is apparent from his plea for the modification of the tariff laws of the United States to admit of the free entry of Philippine products to the American market. Ilis liberal views are also evidenced by his en couragement of the American plans for educating the rising generation of Fili pinos, with the object of imparting to the people of the islands a capacity for self government and ultimately con ceding them the political independence which will be a boon to tlieni when ttie.y are fit for it. but would be a curse to them at the present time.- Milwau kee Evening Wisconsin. Aii Irion I. | Free trade is an ideal theory. Reci procity Is an approach to the ideal. If all nations would do unto others as they would have others do to them trade could be carried on along Idea! lines, but that is not the way of com merce. and self defense is the law that must govern. When a man buys goods inn foreign couHtry he gets the goods, but the for eigner gets the money. The goods wear out. but the money does not. It stays In the foreign country, increasing its wealth. When a man buys g >ods made st home he gets the goods, and the money stays at home, adding to the wealth of the country. The men who make the goods hei'e get good wages, and the man who uses the goods gets good material. The country benefits by encouraging its own manufacturers. It reciprocity could offer as good results it would be a good thing, and it would not be necessary to hold conventions to advocate it. .Jersey t'itj Journal. The Heal Cause-. Free traders arc quick to claim that the census figures just reported show that the protective tariff Is not helping our industries, but the real cause of the failure of manufacturing to in crease as much during the last live years as during the preceding five years is not hard to find. No one who has traveled In the south and seen the children who work In the mills there, also the hours the mill hands work, wonders that the cotton industry is more profitable in the south than in this state.
