REPORT OF THE CURATOR OF ELEMENTARY IN- 
STRUCTION FOR 1925 
Dr. C. STUART GAGER, DIRECTOR. 
Sir: 1 hereby present to you the thirteenth annual report 
from the Department of Elementary Instruction. 
Work with visiting classes has increased over that of the 
preceding year, the attendance (in this Department alone) being 
about 9,000 more than that of last year, making a total attendance 
of a little over 57,000. Registration in our teachers’ classes 
also has increased; while the registration in the children’s 
classes has dropped slightly, due to lack of classroom space. 
Attendance in the summer garden of 1925 was practically the 
same as in 1924. 
Three syllabi, for use with visiting classes, have been written 
this year, on Cotton, Rice, and Sugar, by Miss Mabel E. Turner, 
instructor in the Department until July first. She was succeeded 
by Miss Ethel V. Woodward. Two fine motion picture reels on 
“Oranges and Peanuts’’ were presented by the Alexander- 
Leggett Company of New York. 
A new feature has been added to the children’s garden, a 
Shakespeare Garden, the gift of Mr. Henry C. Folger, made 
possible through the interest of Mrs. Glentworth R. Butler.
