While many will overpower and destroy the gen feasible. But the absence of this con- to a minimum, and the latest lnven- portraits and Madonnas are among eral effect of the picture. venlence Is no excuse for the unhy- - gienlc use of the open pall. Stone crocks with cover and faucet are not expensive, nor are the many water coolers and tanks that are advertised on the market. These may be ob tained In quiet, neutral grays, or even painted with enamel paints to match the general color scheme of the room. A stand, on which the drinking water should be set, may then be made of plain boards or boxes, stained to suit the color scheme of the room. In front an enamel funnel may be Inserted In a circular opening in the table, through which waste may run into a pall below. Placed in direct view of the teacher at the back of the room, with the open side toward the wall, such an arrangement has the appearance of a small cabinet and Is in harmony with its surround ings. Each child should have his In dividual drinking cup in his desk or hanging on a hook under the bench. Needless to say, great care should be taken in thoroughly cleaning crock, faucet, funnel and pail at regular in tervals. Cleaning and Garden Tools. If possible, every school entry should have a tall closet in which brooms, garden tools, and other equipment may be kept. In lieu of such a convenience, hooks may be placed under a projecting shelf, four to eight Inches wide, each hook be ing labeled. It should then be the duty of one of the pupils to be re sponsible for each tool for a certain period of time. The shelf should be high enough bo that the longest gar den implement will not touch the floor and Interfere with clean sweep ing. A plain curtain of burlap may be hung from the shelf In order to ex clude the tools from view. This should hang at least six inches from the floor and not lower than the end of the longest tool. The top of the. shelf can be used for supplies. Window Shades and Curtains. Good roller shades of a green gray or ecru color, according to the general color scheme adopted In the room, should be obtained if possible. The ideal arrangement for the sunny side at least is to have two rollers fastened across the middle of the window. These may be drawn half to the top or half to the bottom, at will, or the whole window may be shaded. If it is not possible to obtain double curtains, the next best arrangement is to have one curtain at the bottom. Thus the Btrong light from above need never be cut off. In case there are no shades, curtains of muslin, scrim, cheesecloth, voile or curtain madras, preferably plain or else with Bmall, dotted figures, may be stretched from the middle sash to the bottom of the window. Royal B. Farnum says that while these may be run on rods, it Is better to eaten them In nlace at the four corners over small, brass-headed tacks. The flat-hanging curtain Is considered to give a softer, better light. By at taching the rods or rings to the sash itRBif. the lower half of the window may be easily raised or lowered, car rying the curtain witn it. The Bulletin Board. An otherwise well-decorated room mav be completely spoiled by the dis play of Bchool work and of penny prints hung in rows above the black boards. Presumably this material is intended to be seen, but when hung so high It is certainly difficult to see it. Moreover, the papers are usually fastened at the two upper corners only, and the lower half curls In an unsightly manner.
