This fall we are suggesting that the teachers or principals 
choose subjects that it might be impossible to take up at school, 
such as the recognition of common trees, fall wild flowers and 
weeds. In these talks material in limited quantity can be given 
to the classes to take back to their schools for further study. 
“Common garden vegetables’’ is another topic we would suggest, 
but only in those schools where the children have little chance to 
garden and so do not know much about vegetables. In schools 
where the children have gardens and feel that they are well ac- 
quainted with such material, it might be well if such a topic were 
given, from the standpoint of botany, taking up a little of the 
history of the vegetables and exactly what botanical part of the 
plant is edible. 
Blank cards may be obtained from the Botanic Garden to 
be filled out and returned to us from the school telling 
exactly the topic the teacher would like to have given to the 
grade which is to be brought here. On this card there is a 
place to fill in any topic not on the list, which the principal or 
teacher or the members of the given class would like to have 
presented. We shall be very glad indeed if new topics be sug- 
gested, because in this way we may work out a more helpful and 
interesting set of lessons. 
It has been in our minds to give out to the classes questions 
upon the lessons or demonstrations given, so that such questions 
may be a basis for the teachers’ lessons after they return to 
their schools. 
During the visits of all the grades from Public School 119, a 
year ago this fall, a rapid review of the lessons was given at 
the close of each period. Many of these same classes came for a 
second lesson, and at that time, different members of the class, 
either chosen beforehand or chosen at random, gave before their 
class a talk on the same subject that had been taken up before. 
If a given class could come more than once in a given season, 
the value of the work would be cumulative. This is a matter 
for the individual principal and teacher to decide, and for us 
only to recommend. It is, of course, not entirely valueless in
