LR W CIVITANS TO SECURE GARDENS FOR BOYS Will Seek to Give Country Recrea- tion to Wards of Protective Society. BENNING SITE = PROPOSED Agriculture Expert Promises to Help in Work. Members of the Clvitan Club have | become interested in the Juvenile Pro- tective Assoclation of Washington and have agreed to support a plan by which the boys can be given in the spring, summer and fall an oppor- tunity to get into the country and to engage in gardening. The land which the association will procure for gardening purposes prob- ably will be at Benning. Mr. George Beattie of the bureau of plant in- dustry of the Department of Agricul- ture has agreed to superintend the boys. There will be a personal dai- rector of the work present at all times. Volunteer members of the Clvitan Club will go dally to the garden to give thelr boy proteges support and inspiration. It Is intended by the Civitan Club not only to give recrea- tive work to the boys, but to instruct them after an interesting manner in ihe ways of good Amerlean citizen- ship. The boys' organization will be called the Clvitan Gardening Club of the Juvenile Protective Assocla- tion. FINED FOP{ASSA(JLT.

Dr. Ballou, superintendent of schools, notified the assoclation that its suggested recommendation for the control of the manner of dress of high school students was a matter to be regulated by the parents and school associations rather than by the board of education.
