Talks at Secondary Schools and Colleges.—Informal illus-

are always gladly given at Secondary Schools and Colleges by 
members of the staff. Arrangements for such talks should be 
made with the Curator of Public Instruction. 
School Classes at the Garden.—Public or private schools, 
both elementary and secondary, may arrange for classes to come 
to the Botanic Garden for illustrated lectures by a member of 
the Garden staff, or for guided tours of instruction through the 
conservatories and outdoor plantations. Such lectures, conserva- 
tory trips, and outdoor trips are planned for correlation with the 
New York City school syllabi in nature study, biology, and 
geography. 
Visiting classes must be accompanied by their teachers, and 
notice of such visits should be sent at least one week in advance. 
Blank forms for this purpose are provided by the Garden. Lists

classes and lectures. For High School and College classes address 
the Curator of Public Instruction. For Junior High and I£le- 
mentary School classes address the Curator of Elementary Ju-
