The results of the survey reveal that a typical course in general botany in a liberal arts college for w'omen is a year in length; is conducted in separ ate lecture and separate laboratory per iods; requires students to make their own laboratory drawings; includes lab oratory quizzes; requires student pro jects and field trips; is supplemented with various aids to teaching, including lantern slides, radio and motion picture programs; is outlined by the head of the department with his associates; cor relates with other departments, espe cially home economics, chemistry, social service, physical education, physics, and education; and allows instructors time for student conferences. Seventy-two percent of the colleges answering the questionnaire, which was sent to 132 colleges in 32 states and elicited a response from 107 colleges, reported increased demand for the course, with only 26 percent reporting a decline.
