The Brooklyn Botanic Garden aims to cooperate in every practi- cable way with the public and private schools of Greater New York in all matters relating to the study of plants. The purpose of the Garden in this connection is to supplement and enrich the school work in the way of instruction, demonstration, study mate- rial, etc., which otherwise would not be available. Geography classes, as well as classes in nature study and botany, are finding the collection of useful plants in the economic plant house, and also our Japanese Garden, valuable adjuncts to their class work. Arrangements may be made by teachers of geography to have their classes study these collections under the guidance of a docent. Illustrated lectures for geography classes ne also be arranged for at the Garden. The systematic collection in the main part of the Garden, where the living plants are arranged by orders and families, is proving of great value for demonstration to visiting high school classes in botany. A. Talks at Schools.—The principals of public or private schools may arrange to have lantern talks given at the schools on various topics related to nature study, such as garden work with children, tree planting, and Arbor Day. If an illustrated lecture is desired, the lantern and operator must be provided by the school, but slides will be furnished by the Botanic Garden. Address the Curator of Elementary Instruction for a list of talks and for appointments. B. School Classes at the Garden.—(a) Schools not provided with a stereopticon, and other schools, may arrange for classes, ac- companied by their teachers, to come to the Botanic Garden for 127 128 lectures either by the teacher or by a member of the Garden Staff. (b) Notice of such a visit should be sent at least one week previous to the date on which a talk is desired. These talks will be illustrated by lantern slides, and by the conservatory collection of useful plants from the tropics and subtropics. Spring and fall announcements of topics will be issued during 1925-6. (c) The Garden equipment, including greenhouses, plant mate- rial, lecture rooms, lantern and slides, is at the disposal of teachers who desire to instruct their own classes at the Garden. Arrange- ments must be made in advance so that such work will not conflict with other classes and lectures. For High School classes address Curator of Public Instruction. For Junior High and Elementary School classes address Curator of Elementary Instruction. (d) The principal of any elementary or high school in Brooklyn may arrange also for a series of six lessons on plant culture to be given during the fall or spring to a class. These lessons will be worked out for the most part in the greenhouse. Such a course must be arranged for in advance, and the class must be accom- panied by its teacher. Adapted for pupils above the third grade. C. School and Home Gardening.—In order to encourage gar- dening in the school and at home, an annual Children’s Garden Exhibit is held at the Garden in September. Prizes for excellence in various subjects are awarded to both schools and individuals. The privilege of competition in this exhibition is open to any school and also to any boy or girl in Brooklyn, even though the garden products exhibited may have been raised at his summer home. Leaflet describing in detail the conditions for the exhibit and the prizes offered will be mailed on request. The exhibit for 1925 will be held on Saturday and Sunday, Sep- tember 26 and 27. All exhibits, of schools as well as of individ- uals, must be brought to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden before 12 o'clock, Friday, September 25. The exhibits will be judged at 1 o’clock on that afternoon, and will be open for public schools at 2 p.m., Friday, when classes are invited to come with their teachers. The exhibit will be open to the general public on Saturday and Sunday from 10 to 4. After 4 o’clock on Sunday afternoon the exhibitors may remove their exhibits. . Prizes will be presented on Saturday afternoon, October 24, at 2:30 o'clock. 129 D. Seeds for School and Home Planting.—In order to assist the above work, penny packets of seeds are put up by the Botanic Garden for children’s use. In the early spring, lists of these seeds, conditions for entry as an exhibitor, and other information may be secured on application to the Curator of Elementary In- struction. E. Conferences.—Conferences may be arranged by teachers and principals for the discussion of problems in connection with gar- dening and nature study. The last Monday afternoon of each month will be reserved for such conferences: appointments must be made in advance. Address Miss Ellen Eddy Shaw. F. Study and Loan Material——To the extent of its facilities, the Garden will provide, on request, various algae and protozoa, as well as living plants, leaves and twigs, or other plant parts for study. Where containers are necessary, as in the case of the algae and protozoa, they must be furnished by the school. Petri dishes will, on request, be filled with sterilized nutrient agar ready for use in the study of bacteria and molds. They should be delivered to the Garden, clean, and in general one week before the agar is desired. In all cases arrangements must be made by the teachers for calling for such material. | MATERIAL USUALLY AVAILABLE Protozoa: Paramoecium, Vorticella, and others. Blue-Green Algae. Moss plants: Gametophyte and sporophyte, with capsules. Fern Prothallia. For these, a Petri dish with a cover is the best container to bring, since the prothallia dry out quickly. 8. Fern Sporophylls (with sori). 9. Coleus and Tradescantia—Variegated green and white, loaned for photosynthesis experiment. Cacti, Pitcher plant, Sundew (Drosera), and Venus’s Flytrap (Dionaea)—Loaned for demonstration. Elodea—To show movement of protoplasm.
