COOPER MELON WITH LOCAL SCHOGOES 
anny 
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, 
the Local Flora Section, the Japanese Garden, and also the Merid- 
ian Panel, the Armillary Sphere, and the Labeled Boulders, valu- 
able 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 geography classes may 
also be arranged for at the Garden. 
To visiting college classes in geology and physiography the Bo- 
tanic Garden offers interesting material for a study of glaciation. 
Notable features are a portion of the Harbor Hill terminal moraine 
(Boulder Hill), the morainal pond (the “ Lake’), the labelled 
Je boulders, and the Flatbush outwash plain. See Guide No.
