4. For Primary and Grammar School Teachers.—The course is
adapted to the needs of directors of drawing, and to those who desire to teach the
subject in their classes, but have not done so on account of fancied inability to
draw sufficiently well themselves. Instruction in drawing combined with methods
of teaching for Primary and Grammar school teachers. Black Board Drawing:
practice in drawing conventional forms in order to gain automatic facility. Nature
study with Drawing, adapted to all grades. Pictures and sketches appropriate
to the different seasons. Stories and Classics for Primary grades illustrated. Outdoor
Sketching: A sketch class will be organized with a view to making a study of landscape
composition, drawing from nature, etc. The beautiful campus, with its picturesque
surroundings, affords a most interesting field for this phase of the work.
Simple Design, with illustrations in water color and ink or pencil. Map Drawing
and chalk modelling. A Drawing Book to be used by each member of the class.

Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor Blair and Assistant. Mechanical Laboratory,
Room 1.
