DOMESTIC SCIENCE. SCHOOLS AND GARDEN SCHOOLS.
The domestic science schools are for the purpose of training young·
girls for domestic life. The number of these schools was 100, in 1926.
The garden schools are small lots of land which are cultivated under
the direction of male or female teachers by the pupils of the primary
teaching institutions. The Department of Agriculture is fostering this
rnovemen-t by supplying the necessary seeds and chemical fertilizer. The
pupils are given rewards. The following table shows that the number
of tbese gardens is increasing rapidly, Table 47 shows the names of
domestic science schools together with the number of their pupils.
