Excerpt from The School Garden: Being a Practical Contribution to the Subject of Education The "School Gardens, " by Dr. Schwab, is a little book that seems to come most opportunely to this country, just as the minds of educators are at work upon the problem of industrial education for the young. Industrial education for the adult is quite another matter, and yet its foundations should be laid earlier. Workshops of all sorts are gradually being established, in which various branches of industry may be learned after children leave the grammar school and high school, but the aim of the school garden is to make the young love industrial work - for what we love we do - and there is no introduction to such occupations so charming as the culture of flowers. Thousands of school gardens are in operation in Austria to-day. to say nothing of other places, as the fruit of Dr. Schwab's fertile and comprehensive brain. In preparing this work for the American public, certain adaptations will have to be made to our different institutions of society, and our different plants and birds, for it is designed for a manual as well as for an exhaustive essay upon the subject, in which light it is of world-wide application. Dr. Schwab's own animated words are best for the general consideration of the subject, and the reader will easily see where they do not apply in practice.
