83 
classes in botany with research work, and. to assist in every 
practicable way the botanical work of local schools, both public 
and private. The plans provide for the organization of a staff 
consisting, not only of investigators to have charge of research, 
but also of members whose primary duty will be the conducting 
of classes in various branches of the science, including courses 
for beginners. Ample provision is made for carrying out this 
purpose in the plans for the laboratories, greenhouses and 
plantations. 
In addition to the institutions referred to above, there should 
be mentioned the gardens at Oxford and at Cambridge (England), 
at Munich, Amste rdam, Berlin, Vienna, Geneva, St. Petersburg, 
and research; while well-organized gardens are foun 
Michigan Agricultural College (Lansing, Mich.), the University 
of California (Berkeley), the University of Pennsylvania (Phila- 
delphia), and Smith College (Northampton, Mass.). The educa- 
tional work of the Royal Botanic Society’s Gardens, at Regent’s 
ark, London, is also extensive, covering popular lectures, the 
supplying of materials to classes in schools, and the organization 
of a practical school for the training of gardeners. Educational 
exhibits are also held here from time to time to illustrate the 
nature-study of the local public schools.
