WINDOWS IN SCHOOLS
FOR AIR OR FOR VIEW!
A change in the placing of the win- ' dows of the schools of the Dominion was urged by Mr. R. A. Wright (Wellington Suburbs) in the House of Representatives last night. Mr. Wright asked the Minister of Education -whether he could see his way in the building of new schools, particularly schools foi young children, to have the windows placed as low down as possible, so that the children might be a^le to see into the outside world. The experiment had been tried in one school in Wellington, and had proved a great success. .He knew the architects were against it, but the teachers, with practical experience, wero enthusiastic, and he therefore urged the Minister to overrule the architects in the future. He did not blame the architects, for people were all conservative on some point or other.
