SCHOOL OFFICIALS SEEK
DUSTLESS BLACKBOARD
Chalk. Flying Around the
Rooms Is Declared to Be
UnheaIthfuI.

Wanted-Green blackboards, which are
absolutely dustless, after chalk marks are
erased from the surface.
That is one of the greatest needs Of the
school system, according to statements
made by officials of the schools today
The chalk dust flying about the room
every time the board is erased is not
healthful. say the school chiefs. The
blackness of the boards now used in most
Of the schools is hard on the eyes OF
the pupils, 1t Is said.
Although many experiments have been
tried successful board has not yet been
found nor do the school chiefs anticipate
finding one in the immediate future. They
would like very much to do SO and to-
ward that end are keeping their eyes
open" all the time.
The chalk termed 'dustless," say the
school chiefs, has not proved serviceable.
When enough grease is mixed with 1t to
lay the dust. they say, the chalk slides
over the board without making clear
enough impression. To see the lines
made by this chalk the children must
strain their eyes, it is claimed.
The usual blackboard is smooth plaster,
coated over with silicate paint. This has
so far proved the most serviceable and
cheapest board. it is explained. Each
year the boards are reprinted with the
silicate solution.
Boards of Ground Glass.
Boards Of ground glass, painted black.
are in the Mckinley Manual Training
School, but because the chalk makes
rather streaky, faint lines on most of
the boards say the school heads, these
boards are considered poor also. Nc
kinley, which probably has the greatest
assortment of boards In the city, has
slate and paper blackboards we'll as
the glass ones. The paper ones have
proved failures because dampness has
caused them to warp as much as two
inches from the walls.
The coloring of the boards is not such
difficult problem, say the educators,
several green boards having already been
put up, but to find a dustless blackboard
or crayon. which will write clearly seems
almost impossible.

fend. Novelty and special acts, many of

rooms at either side OF the house. These
are at the bend of the main stairways.
The mezzanine floor, too. is proving a
feature of interest. This. dropping down
from the balcony floor, is composed of a
series OF boxes, which not only command
an excellent view of the stage, but also
of the house, and form a distinctive fea-
ture. O.
The Imperial is well equipped scenically.
The asbestos curtain, while plain. Is one
of artistic merit. From a background OF
buff hang curtains of brown. while in the
center is the monogram of the playhouse.
The main curtain represents a woodland
scene surrounded by gilt frame.
1t is said by the management that not
only has comfort and beauty been con-
sidered in the construction. but the safe
ty of the patrons well. Four exits
lead from the ground floor, while the
ba lcony is as well supplied.
