Great efforts are being made in France to have gardens attached to all public schools. It is found in Philadelphia that there is always a pressure to get into those schools that happen to have little gardens attached-The Newton School in West Philadelphia, has a nice garden, and there is one in Frankford that has a very beautiful fern rockery in the front yard. These efforts, however, all come from the local School Boards. The Board of Education that has the matter wholly in their hands, has done nothing to foster or encourage this love.
