In the Brooklyn Institute prospectus for 1910-1911 two courses 

 of lectures are announced in botany. They are given by Dr. 

 C. Stuart Gager, the director of the new Brooklyn Botanic Garden. 

 The first is a series of ten illustrated lectures on plant physiology 

 given on Saturday mornings beginning October 15, but omitting 

 November 26, December 26, and 31. The course will deal with 

 modern views and interpretations of various fundamental life 

 processes of plants. The second course is on the teaching of 

 botany, and will be given on Saturday mornings beginning on 

 March 4, but omitting April 5. This is intended primarily for 

 teachers (including teachers of nature work) and those intending 

 to teach. Readings will be assigned in the literature of the 

 pedagogy of botany, and a comprehensive bibliography may be 

 secured. All the lectures begin at ten o'clock, are open to 

 teachers in the public and private schools, and will be held in 

 the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
