And not merely the knowledge of the homeyf^r^, as far as it can be brought within the sphere of the school garden, but of a ' portion of our fauna — that is of the lower forms of animal life — should be kept in view. The garden and its surroundings give abundant opportunity for the knowledge and observation of the insect world and its interesting transformations. If it is possible to have a little basin in the garden, or if water is near at hand, there is open to the teacher a rich source of in...- formation upon the remarkable lower insect world of the water. And as the flowers among plants, so stand the^ birds among animals, nearest to the heart of chil- dren. In large school gardens the thorn hedges afford protection to the singing birds, and hedges in the neigh- borhood must serve the purpose for the small school gardens. PRACTICAL OBJECT LESSONS. Not the school room but the school garden will spread correct views upon the subject of our animals. The future husbandman and gardener, and the future forester, will desire to know the friends and enemies which those denizens of meadow, field and wood as represented in the school garden, possess in the animal world.
