2. Drawing: The following admirable logical catalogue of the drawings from the Columbus schools was prepared by Professor W. S. Goodnough, superintendent of that branch of instruction, and is given in his own words:

Drawings. These drawings, 389 in number, are arranged in three horizontal rows, the upper consisting of work in construction, or the kind of drawing necessary for the construction of objects. In the middle row is representation, or drawing from objects, showing them as they appear. The lower row shows decoration, or original designs. A printed notice hung with the work explains the nature of the exhibit and the conditions under which it was arranged. From it we learn that everything exhibited is regular class work, none having been done with reference to exhibition. We also learn that drawing, as taught in the Columbus schools and as represented in this exhibit, is arranged under three general heads, each including several subjects, as follows:

Construction.-1, Geometric terms; 2, Plans and elevations of simple objects; 3, Geometrical problems worked with instruments; 4, Working drawings of objects to scale, showing plans, elevations, sections, details; 5, Architectural drawing; 6, Machine drawing.

Representation.-1, Geometrical lines and forms; 2, Drawings from simple flat objects, or showing but one face of slide; 3, Single objects drawn from solids in outline; 4, Groups of objects in outline; 5, Foliage from nature and plaster casts in outline; 6, Instrumental perspective; 7, Light and shade from models and casts; 8, Color. Flowers from copy and from nature.

Decoration.-1, Variation of simple forms; 2, Repetition, horizontally or vertically, forming borders: 3, Repetition for surface decoration; 4. Conventionalization of natural forms for designs; 5, Designs in geometric forms, conventionalized foliage used; 6, Applied design in pencil for various manufactured articles; 7, Botanical analysis for design in color; 8, Applied design in color for printed or woven fabrics, wood, stone, metal, pottery, etc.

These three divisions commence in an elementary manner in the lowest grade, and are carried along in three parallel lines through ali grades, with a greater degree of development in each. Drawings are exhibited in all the various subjects mentioned above. No work, however, is shown from the lowest, or D primary, grade, as the pupils of that grade work entirely on slates, and it was not deemed expedient to show their work.

On the south side of the north wall of the Ohio exhibit, high-school work will be found. · On the north side of the next wall south, primary grade work is shown, and consists entirely of pages cut from the drawing-books in use during the year, mounted on cardboard. Two hundred and fifty-eight pupils are represented. The first vertical row is from C primary, or second year, and shows three sheets containing twenty-four drawings. The second vertical row is from B primary, or third year, and shows twentyfour drawings. The third row is from A primary, or fourth year, and shows the same amount of work.

Though all the work is arranged in three horizontal rows-construction, representation, decoration - the distinction between the three lines of study becomes more apparent in this grade (A primary) and those above, where it becomes further developed than in the primary grades.

The fourth and fifth rows show work from the D grammar, or 5th year, and consists of 42 drawings.

The next two rows are from the C grammar, or 6th year, 36 drawings.

The eighth, ninth, and tenth rows show 44 drawings from the B grammar, or 7th

year.

The last three rows are from the A grammar, or 8th year, and represent 54 pupils. The constructive drawing shown, except geometrical problems, is from objects. The representation is principally from objects, and always so where shown on a blank page. The decoration is all original.

On the other wall, showing high school work, the drawings, 131 in all, are arranged by classes, commencing at the right, as follows:

First, second, junior, and senior. Here the three divisions are fully developed and represented. On the line of construction drawing, beginning at the right, are six drawings-elementary projection and simple machine details. All are drawn to scale, from objects. Next to the left are four drawings of furniture, drawn to scale, from objects, from measurements and rough free-hand sketches made by the pupils.

Next are 24 architectural drawings, rough free-hand sketches, some being original designs. They show plans, elevations, sections, inside and outside details, and perspectives, in ink lines or colored.

In the middle row, or representation, are 6 instrumental perspective drawings. Next are 22 drawings from geometric models and vases in outline, several of them being groups. Then come 13 pieces shaded with the stump and charcoal or sauce, from copy, models, or casts. On the lower row, at the right, are 30 original designs in pencil, for surface decoration, as an oilcloth, tile pattern, etc. Next are 18 designs in monochrome, for borders, centers, etc. Then 6 designs in color for various purposes, as wall paper, wood carving, book covers, etc. Finally, two sheets of botanical analysis, in color, for design, showing a painting of a plant, and also the various parts conventionalized and arranged for designing, with an original design made from the given forms.

Drawing in the Columbus schools is a required study in all grades, no scholar being excused, except for some physical disability and upon the presentation of a certificate to that effect from a practicing physician.

The average time given to drawing is one hour and a half per week, and in the primary and grammar grades the regular teachers do all the teaching, under the supervision and instruction of the superintendent of drawing.

In the high school the teaching is done by a special teacher of drawing and the Superintendent of drawing. In the normal school the teaching is done by the superintendent of drawing.

Drawing books.-On the shelf under the drawings in the exhibit will be found one finished drawing book of each number used in the primary and grammar grades. In the high school blank books or paper are used.

Models.-A set of four models will be seen, constructed of wood and glued together. These were made by one pupil, in the lowest grammar grade, from his own drawings. In this and the grade above pupils are encouraged, for home optional work, to construct the objects which they draw in their study of construction drawing. They may be made of wood, framed, glued, nailed, or screwed together, or solid; of tin

soldered together; of paper or cardboard, pasted or sewed; of clay; or of any material that may be chosen. The only requirement is that certain objects be made of a given size from the pupil's own drawings. This work is not yet fully developed.
