A GOOD EXAMPLE.
Messrs Nimmo and Blair have forwarded to every head teacher in Otago a collection of packets of flower seeds, with the following circular, which explains itself : — " Recognising, from an educational point of view, the benefits to be derived in the growing of plants, &c., and hoping to instil into the minds of the younger portion of the community a love for plants, flowers, &c, we are mailing a collection of packets of flower seeds. These we hope you will have sown somewhere about the school grounds, and thus help to beautify what may be at present a bare, uncultivated piece of ground. We leave the distribution of the seeds among the children in your hands, and would suggest that the sowing of them be made the subject of an object lesson on ' Nature's Gifts,' and that the opportunity might also be taken to impress \ipon the children the desirability of keeping the school grounds neat and tidy."
