A NEW NOTE IN SCHOOLS.

FLOWER NAMES FOR ROOMS.

In the hourt of the "Black Coun try? of Scotland; Lanarkshire Education Authority are carrying on an interesting series of experl ments for the propagation of art and knowledge among the children of the county,

A new public school, built at Machan, Larkhall, is beautiful even in its exterior, white walls with a red-tiled roof, single-storeyed, ris ing from a low foundation of red brick. Inside the entrance hall is a large mirror bearing the motto, "A merry heart goes all the way," and the corridor walls are decorated with reproductions of famous pictures. Three of the seven rooms occupied by the younger scholars are decorated to represent Mor ing, Noon, and Night, and the other four the Seasons. Notable pictures are panelled on the walls of the senior rooms. The school accom- modates 800 pupils.

Dalziel Secondary School has

been treated in much the soma

fashion, the pictorial scheme is cluding reproductions of views from the artistic posters issued by the railway companies, while the cor- ridors are hung with facsimiles of Medici prints.

Drunpark Special School is the most remarkable innovation of all. Every room in this building has been given the name of a different plant or tree, and decorated in a colour scheme to sait. From the Violet Room the visitor passes to the Poppy, Primrose, Larch, and Whin rooms; and one wall in each room is composed of sliding doors, which are.to be opened during good weather, so that the classes will be practically in the open air.

In the bathing room the pupils bathe twice a week, and there are classes at which they are taught tailoring and mending boots, and others for instruction in the care of pigeons and rabbits. Within the beautiful grounds of the scrccl stand a dovecot and a rabbit house, and the pigeons and Angora rabbits are given over for a week to the best boy in the school during the previous week.

Each week the class with the bost attendance has the honour of keeping a banner with the legend on it; "We like school."
