ADULT COURSES 
Total Registration —<A total of 907 adults registered in all our 
courses during the year. If we add to this 40 students who reg- 
istered for the special course (C9) “ Nature Study for Boy Scouts, 
Girl Scouts, Camp Fire Girls, Scout Leaders, and Others,” the 
total would amount to somewhat more than that of 1934; but about 
half of those who took C9 can not be classed as “adults.” With 
the omission of this course, then, the figures for the last seven 
years stand as follows:

Courses Conducted by This Department—Miss Rusk continued 
with her courses in General Botany (Bl), and Field and Labora- 
tory Study of Flowering Plants (B10). Miss Rusk also gave, 
both in spring and fall, outdoor courses on the Flowering Plants 
mh 
and Ferns of the New York Region, with a total registration of 
51 persons. Miss Vilkomerson and I gave the course in Trees 
and Shrubs of Greater New York as usual, with a registration of 
58 persons in the spring and 49 in the fall. I have given this 
course now for thirteen successive years, with a total registration 
of 1,105 persons. Regarding the course for nurses-in-training, 
we have received so many inquiries about the nature of this work 
that I am describing it in some detail, in the next section (p. 85). 
New Courses.—In the course entitled “ Greenhouse Gardening ” 
(A35), conducted by Miss Shaw, Mr. Free, and Miss Dorward, 
and open to those who had already taken the course in Funda- 
mentals of Gardening (A25), 25 persons were registered. The 
ants (B15-16), conducted by Dr. Cheney, 
was given for the first time this year, commencing in September.
