HEADS GARDEN WORK
With a view to stimulating food
production, more attention is to be
given to the home garden movement
by teachers of Lexington schools and
by the children under supervision of
McNeal James, Professor of Vocational Training, University of Kentucky.
A supervising teacher has been selected for each of the thirteen schools.
Last year, four students of the College
of Agriculture took charge of all
school gardening and more than fifty
acres of ground in the city were cultivated by children.
Each supervising teacher will organize pupils of schools into garden
clubs which shall hold regular meetings for Instruction.
The main purpose of the meetings is to sustain the
interest of children in the cultivation
of gardens. Tho supervising teacher
will help students plan gardens and
prepare soil. Professor James will

The rogular meeting of the Horace
Mann Literary Society was held Thursday evening in the Education building.
Hubert de Wageanere spoke on "Kul-u- r
and the Collapse of the Superman."
Mr. de Wagenaere gave the several
definitions of "Kultur" taken by the
various German writers In their works
and showed how the German education had been cheating the people of
that country for the last fifty years.
The speaker went on to prove that the
German instead of being the superman is really inferior to the other
peoples of the earth.
This can be seen in the fact that
England and France with a few
months preparation were able to hold
Germany, while It took Germany years
to prepare. While she is winning now
'she has not done all she set out to do,
and the superman should have the
spirit and the power to accomplish all
that he sets out to do.
Mr. de Wagenaere is with Victor

war ln its true proportions and blames
