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 in all matters pertaining to the study of plants and closely re- 
lated subjects. The purpose of the Garden in this connection is to 
supplement and enrich the school work in the way of instruction, 
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 usefu

Illustrated lectures for geogra-

(Boulder Hill), the morainal lakelet, the labelled glacial boulders, 
and the Flatbush outwash plain. See Guide No. 7, “ The Story
