IV. Approval of guardian-- This project, Beautifying Our Yard, selected by Alta, is a very profitable project, especially at this time of the year when our thoughts are directed toward the planting of flowers, shrubs, etc. A beautiful yard adds so much to the home and makes everyone more happy and contented. This project should create a desire in Alta to take more interest in the yard and in planting it. Also watching the plants grow will make her feel some responsibility in caring for them, while at the same time every member of the family will enjoy the realization of the project. I wish her all success in making this project come true. NOTE.--An excellent planting plan worked out on squared paper accompanied this project. _Name of Project: Improving Our Home_ (Reported by an Alabama high school girl.)
