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, ete., which otherwise 
would not be available. 
Geography classes, as well as classes in nature study and botany, 
find the collection of useful plants in the economic plant house, 
and also the Japanese Garden, the Meridian Panel, and the Labelled 
Boulders, valuable adjuncts to their class work. Arrangements 
may be made by teachers of geography to have their classes study 
these collections under guidance. Illustrated lectures for geogra- 
phy classes may also be arranged for at the Garden. See, also, 
pages 264 and 265 for statements concerning the Labelled Glacial 
Boulders and the Meridian Panel of special interest to classes in 
Geography and Geology. 
The systematic collection in the main part of the Garden, where 
the living plants are arranged by orders and families, is proving 
of great value for demonstration to visiting high school and college 
classes in botany. 
A. Talks at Schools.——The principals of public or private 
schools may arrange to have talks given at the schools on vari- 
ous topics related to nature study, such as garden work with 
children, tree planting, the conservation of wild flowers, and 
Arbor Day. If an illustrated lecture is desired, the lantern and
