72 STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. 



The freeliaiid driiwiug work has been elected hy more students this 

 year and I believe tliat a real need is being met. With the elective courses 

 offered, a girl may receive all the training necessarj^ to prepare her for the 

 teaching of art in our Public Schools. 



We have received visitors from other schools this year and their com- 

 ments have been very gratifying to us. 



This year the labor in the blue printing room has been handled entirely 

 by the teaching force and up to June 1st, a total of 800 hours has been 

 consumed. I believe this work should be handled by an expert who would 

 be employed on a full time basis. 



In closing, I have one suggestion to make concerning our grading sys- 

 tem. Comparative charts are worked up from time to time showing the 

 percentage of A's, B's, C's, D's, X's and F's given by the different depart- 

 ments, and I believe a few convocations for the entire teaching staff to 

 discuss the system would lead to more uniform results in the college as 

 a whole. 



Again, I wish to express my appreciation for the support which has 

 been given me during the past year by tlie members of the department 

 staff. 



The following is a teaching schedule of the department. 



Kespectfully submitted,
