REPORT OF THE CURATOR OF ELEMENTARY 



INSTRUCTION FOR 1920

my report as curator of ele- 



Dr. C. Stuart Gager, Director. 



Sir: I beg to submit herewith 

 mentary instruction. 



The Curator of Elementary Instruction was appointed Sep- 

 tember i, 1913, but because of the buildin<r conditions and lack 

 of facilities at the Laboratory Building of the Brooklyn Botanic 

 Garden, the appointment did not take effect actively until Oc- 

 tober I, This, therefore, is the seventh annual report of these 

 activities, counting three months only for the first year. 



On October 6, 191 3, the first regular class under this Depart- 

 ment was held at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. A request was 

 made by Dr. Marguerite T. Lee, Head of the Biology Depart- 

 ment of the Girls' High School, that a regular weekly class be 

 given at the Botanic Garden for the benefit of her botany stu- 

 dents. Not only one class was started, but two.
