 stories for children. In addition to this I still act as secretary

Summary 



In 1924 the seed work has increased greatly: many improve- 

 ments have been made in the work of the outdoor garden; 

 lecture periods to visiting classes have increased, attendance 

 remaining approximately the same; the number of sessions of 

 regular classes has increased; also the number of conference 

 periods with teachers. 



Fig. 10. Lesson In bulb planting at Public School 36. Tiiis lesson was 

 first given to a visiting class from this school at the Botanic Garden about five 

 years before. The method is handed down from year to year, and thus the 

 work "goes marching on." Nov. 19. (5226.) 



The need for exhibit cases is very evident; more motion-picture 

 films should be added, and more colored lantern slides to com- 

 plete sets. I would emphasize again, as I have before in reports, 

 the need of an auto bus for transporting students from schools, 

 and a small motor car for the delivery of seed orders to schools.
