B. Courses for Teachers: Given in Cooperation with the 
Brooklyn Teachers Association 
These courses have been accepted by the Brooklyn Teachers As- 
sociation, and appear in its Syllabus of Courses. On satisfactory 
completion of each course, the student 1s awarded a certificate by 
the Brooklyn Teachers Association, in cooperation with the Brook- 
lyn Botanic Garden. The courses are also accepted by the New 
York Board of Education for credit toward higher teaching licenses, 
one credit being granted for each 15 hours (with the exception of 
“ B8, Plant Culture”). Through an agreement made in January, 
1931, with Long Island University, undergraduate credit for these 
courses will be allowed toward fulfilling the requirements for a 
university degree, provided the admission requirements at the Uni- 
— 
versity and the laboratory requirements have been fulfilled. By 
arrangement with the institution concerned, these credits may also 
be used as undergraduate credits in other colleges and universities. 
Nature materials used in the courses, and plants raised become the 
property of the student. 
Members of the Garden are entitled to a 50 per cent. discount 
from the regular fee for all “ B” courses; from other persons 
the indicated fee is required. No course will be given when less 
than ten persons apply.
