A couple of things I find quite interesting about this report card actually portray the changing times in the near-dawn of the 20th century. The idea that the printed form only allows for a "Mr." as recipient coupled with the fact that Blanche is excelling in both Science and Politics shows both innate bias and progressive promise. I hope Blanche got to do what she wanted to with her life.
As always, take care and thanks for stopping by.
