Abstract
THE death of Dr. Lilian Jane Clarke, at the age of sixty-eight years, marks the passing of the pioneer of the best modern methods of the teaching of botany and Nature study in schools. The subject early attracted her and having gained the gold medal of the Apothecaries’ Society for botany and entered University College, London, in the session 1887-88, she took her B.Sc. degree in 1893-94, after studying botany under Prof. F. W. Oliver. She was appointed science mistress at James Alien's Girls’ School, Dulwich, in January 1896, and from that time onwards devoted herself whole-heartedly to developing her own ideas of botanical teaching.
