Abstract
A CONFERENCE on school gardens was held under the auspices of the Berkshire County Technical Education Committee at Reading College on Saturday. Mr. T. G. Rooper, one of His Majesty's inspectors of schools, read a paper on “School Gardens in England and in Germany,” giving an account of those he has helped to institute in this country and others which he visited on the Continent. He dwelt, too, upon the provision made in Germany at the Pomological Institute for training elementary teachers, and one of his most interesting points was with regard to them. They are not, as here in England, expected in return for tuition, maintenance and travelling expenses, to attend courses of instruction during well-earned holidays, but they have the additional privilege of working at the Institute during term time, a substitute being paid to take their duty.
