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. There should be
