PROSPECTUS: 1934-35 
i COOPER AELON With LOGAL 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 
a" 
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, and also the Japanese Garden, the Merid- 
ian Panel, the Armillary Sphere, and the Labelled Boulders, 
valuable adjuncts to their class work. Arrangements may be made 
by teachers of geography to have their classes study these collec- 
tions 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 gla- 
cial boulders, and the Flatbush outwash plain. See Guide No. 7, 
“ The Story of our Boulders: Glacial Geology of the Brooklyn Bo- 
tanic Garden.” Sce also pages 239-241 for statements concerning 
the Labelled Glacial Boulders, the Meridian Panel, and the Armil- 
lary Sphere. 
A. Talks at Elementary Schools—The principals of public 
or private schools may arrange to have talks given at the schools
