What About Tour School Houses?

You may not this season be able to build a new one, or make the radical changes In the old one that you had in contemplation, but there Is no school district In the United States that cannot afford to tint with Alabastlne the interior of their buildings, thus making them more attractive, getting colors made with special reference to their effects on the eyes of the pupils, getting a sanitary and rock base cement coating that will not harbor disease germs. The closely crowded school rooms need all the safeguards to the health of the pupil that intelligent officials can surround them with, and all sanitarians unite in saying that Alabastlne is the only proper material to be used on such walls. What an absur<J,Xhlng it Is to pass over ■ll the valuable "parts of a man, and fix our attention on his infirmities.—Addison.
