Thus far only TWO rooms for pima chii-
dren exist. and these have been looked
upon as experimental tests from which TO
draw models for more rooms of the same
general type in new school buildings.
Delicate experiments in the problem OF
lighting effects in the night schools have
recently been conducted. TO light az night
or on dark days school room containing
forty-fve desks experiments have indi-
Gated that nine - 2-candlepower electric
lights were sufFicient-one TO each five

recent tests were the ascertainment Of the

various details relative to reflection, ETC.
and the results obtained will be of great
benefit il is said. in drawing plans of all
future school buildings, and will probably
inspire similar improvements in many
school houses now in use.

swooped down on the more or less harried
