I. COOPERATION WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS 
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden aims to cooperate in every practi- 
cable way with the public and private schools of Greater New York 
on 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, material, 
etc., which would not otherwise be available. | 
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 list of talks and for appointments. 
B. School Classes at the Garden—(a) Schools not provided 
with a stereopticon may arrange for classes, accompanied by their 
teachers, to come to the Botanic Garden for 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 1922.
