Needs of Country Schoolhouse

a school bulletin board for the dis
play Of this sort Of material, and
papers on exhibition should be Sc
curely fastened to the board at the
four corners with thumb tacks or
pins. A sheet of artificial board
many kinds of which are advertised,
serves as an excellent bulletin board.
1t is light and inexpensive, and 1t
may be tinted to suit any color
scheme. If possible, it should be
framed like any picture, but without
glass. If framing is impracticable,
a dark band two or three inches wide
may be painted around the edge of
the board, thus giving the appearance
Of a frame.
If the composition or manufactured
board is not obtainable, a wide,
smooth and flat piece of soft pine,
or two pieces carefully joined to-
gether, may be used instead. These
may be stained, or covered with a soft
colored denim or monks cloth. The
advantage Of a covering is that the
holes do not show.
No room is complete without some
fine pictures. Modern processes Of
reproduction have reduced their cost

Frames.
Pictures should be framed in plain,
comparatively flat molding. When
the elements of the composition ex-
tend to the edge of the picture, a
mat may be required. "At the Water
ing Trough" by Dagnan-Bouveret, is
Of this type. Corot's landscapes, and
such a picture as Whistler's Little
Rose" have plenty of space around
the subject and do not need a mat.
Where there is a mat the lower mar
gin should be slightly wider than
the other three sides and the color
should blend we'll with the general
color of the picture. 1t should be
darker than the lightest parts and
lighter than the darkest parts. The
frame should then be slightly dark
err than the mat. For a colored print,
the frame may be similar in value
and color to the predominating hue
of the picture. Often when the color
is rich a gold frame is suitable. 1t is
not difficult to stain a natural wood
frame any color.
The width of the frame depends
on the size and character of the pic
ture, but under no circumstances
should the frame be too wide, or It
will overpower and destroy the gen.
eral effect of the picture.

lions in printing have made possible
the most faithful copying of the fin
est works Of art, both in monochrome
and in color. The masterpieces of the
early painters are not the only good
pictures to be secured. Many fine
illustrations in the magazines and
photographic reproductions of modern
painters offer fine examples for
schoolroom decoration.
No picture should be chosen solely
for Its subjects, says Royal Farnum.
Unless 1t has the merit of beauty
for its own sake, 1t should never be
hung as a permanent decoration. Poor
prints of a popular subject do not
make fine pictures. Pictures with
fine detail are seldom suitable for
wall decoration. Large, simple masses
should predominant, with good con-
trast of light and dark.
In the average rural school Of
mixed grades, the pictures should ap-
peal happily to all ages. The best
subjects are those that appeal to the
sense of real living and to a whole
some interest in the pictorial ele-
ments. Strong action, animal and
child life, and daily occupations are
best suited to the usual child. For
this reason Dupre's Dignity and I'm

are especially good. While many
