To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Criticism is due the Re- creation Commission, however, for this negligible percentage of Detroit's children engaged in garden work, after two summers' control of the moveraoat by the Commission, Com^oarisons vjith othar cities are not al\/ays a fair "basis for judgment, but a summary of the 1917 report of the City of Dayton, Ohio, indicates hov/ far Detroit is lagging behind in the home and school gardsn movemsnt, Day- ton had 3109 children's home gardens, 29 model school gar- dens in which 900... children were engaged and 2250 vacant lot gardens cared for by adulto, the last ilso under the same supervision as the children's gardens. it'Taether Detroit's shortcoming in this resi^ect is due entirely to a lacfe of interest on the part of the Re- creation Commission or to a lack of comprehensive organiz- ing ability on the part of the c'irector of garden^, it is difficult to state. It must be evident, however, that the home and school garden movement has missed such aggres- sive leadership as was and still is necessary to make it a seriotis part of the educational program for a large propor- tion of Detroit children.
