actly how much had been made from the garden, estimating the 
crops at market prices. Two first prizes were given in this class; 
one to Milton Gay, of Erasmus Hall High School; and another to 
Robert Barr, of P.S. 89. The first prize was $15.00 in War 
Stamps. The second prize, $10.00, or two War Stamps, was won 
by Karl Klostermaier of P.S. 89, while the third prize of one 
War Stamp was won by Russell Mungar of the same school. It 
is interesting and significant that so many of these prizes should 
be carried off by a school where garden teaching has been a part 
of the curriculum for the last three or four years. 
The prizes were given out on September 28 at 2:30. At the 
same time, prizes were awarded to boys and girls in the Brooklyn 
Botanic Garden who have done exceptionally fine work. These 
latter prizes consist of bronze and silver medals, War Stamps, 
and Thrift Stamps, as explained in the Botanic Garden Leaflet 
for June 12, 1918. The school trophies and stamps were pre- 
sented by Mr. Alfred T. White, through whose generosity the 
War stamp and Thrift stamp prizes were made possible. The 
medals and certificates of honorable mention were awarded by 
Dr. Gager. Miss Theodora Hay, chairman of the Garden Teach- 
ers Association of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, presented the 
silver cup which is awarded annually by the Association to the 
boy or girl who has attended Botanic Garden classes for more 
than one year, who has done work of superior merit, and who 
has been adjudged most generally helpful in connection with the 
work. The award this year was to Miss Sylvia Anderson. 
As one of the innumerable evidences of the genuine interest of 
the children in their work, it may be mentioned that one of the 
boys, Irving Greenfield, came once a week all summer from Far 
Rockaway, L. I., a round trip of about 30 miles, to care for his 
garden plot.
