COOPERAIMONIW iE LOCAL SCHO@OUS 
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden aims to cooperate in every prac- 
ticable way with the public and private schools of Greater New 
York in all matters pertaining to the study of plants and closely 
related subjects. The purpose of the Garden in this connection 
is to supplement and enrich the school work in the way of instruc- 
tion, demonstration methods, study material, etc., which otherwise 
— 
would not be available. 
Geography classes, as well as classes in nature study and botany, 
find the collection of useful plants in the Economic Plant House, 
the Local Flora Section, the Oriental Garden, the Herb Garden, 
and also the Meridian Panel, the Armillary Sphere, and the La- 
beled Glacial Boulders, valuable adjuncts to their class work. Ar- 
rangements may be made by teachers of geography to have their 
classes study these features under guidance. I[lustrated lectures 
ary 
at the Garden for geography classes may also be arranged. 
To visiting college classes in geology and physiography the Bo- 
tanic Garden offers interesting material for a study of glaciation. 
Notable features are a portion of the Harbor Hill terminal moraine
