B. School Classes at the Garden——(a) Schools not provided 
with a stereopticon, and other schools, may arrange for classes, 
accompanied by their teachers, to come to the Botanic Garden for 
lectures either by the teacher or by a member of the Garden Staff. 
(b) Notice of such a visit should be sent at least one week 
previous to the date on which a talk is desired. Blank forms are 
provided by the Garden for this purpose. These talks will be 
illustrated by lantern slides, and by the conservatory collection of 
useful plants from the tropics and subtropics. Fall and spring 
announcements of topics will be issued during 1931-32. 
(c) The Garden equipment, including ereenhouses, plant mate- 
rial, lecture rooms, lantern, and slides, is at the disposal of teachers 
who desire to instruct their own classes at the Garden. Arrange- 
ments must be made in advance so that such work will not conflict 
with other classes and lectures. For High School classes address 
the Curator of Public Instruction. For Junior High and Ilemen- 
tary School classes address the Curator of Elementary Instruction, 
(d) The principal of any elementary or high school in Brooklyn 
may arrange also for a series of six lessons on plant culture to be 
given during the fall or spring to a class. A small fee is charged 
to cover the cost of the materials used. The plants raised become 
the property of the pupils. The lessons will be worked out for the 
most part in the greenhouse, and the class must be accompanied 
by its teacher. This is adapted for pupils above the third grade. 
C. Lectures for High School, Junior High School, and 
Teachers’ Training School Students.—To supplement biology 
sttidies in the schools of Brooklyn, a series of late afternoon 
lectures will be held in the spring of 1932, arranged especially 
for high school students. The subjects will be selected from 
among those in the New York Biology Syllabus, and will follow 
as closely as possible the sequence of that outline of study. When 
entire classes attend, it is recommended that they be accompanied 
by their teachers. Announcements of topics will be issued early 
in 
D. Seeds for School and Home Planting —Penny packets of 
seeds are put up by the Botanic Garden for children’s use. In 
the early spring, lists of these seeds, order blanks for teachers and 
pupils, and other information may be secured on application to 
the Curator of Elementary Instruction,
