A High-School Flower Show.- — On September 30, October i 

 and 2 the high schools of New York City held a flower show at 

 the American Museum of Natural History that was in some re- 

 spects unique. The show, intended to stimulate interest among 

 high-school pupils in wild and cultivated flowers, was in charge of 

 the Biology Teachers' Association. Over twenty high schools co- 

 operated. In some schools the pupils brought the flowers to the 

 school on Thursday morning and an exhibit was arranged in the 

 school for the day. the flowers being sent to the museum after 

 school. ^luch of the work of arranging the exhibits, as well as 

 the collecting of material, was done by pupils. In addition to the 

 display of dahlias and other cultivated flowers ; of asters, golden 

 rods, grasses, fall berries and foliage ; fruits and vegetables from 

 home and school gardens ; there was an attractive display of posters 

 made by pupils in the various schools. As was to be expected, the 

 finest show was made by schools in the outlying parts of the city, 

 Jamaica and Newtown High Schools having especially attractive 

 exhibits. Those in charge of the show consider it to have been of 

 sufficient value to their pupils to warrant making it an annual 

 event.
