 dress the Curator of Elementary Instruction for list of talks and

2. 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.

 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 1921. 



(c) The Garden equipment, including greenhouse, plant ma- 

 terial, lecture room, lantern^ and slides is at the disposal of 

 teachers who desire to Instruct their own classes at the Garden. 

 Arrangements must be made in advance with the Curator of 

 Elementary Instruction, so that such work will not conflict with 



other classes and lectures.
