RADIO, CINEMA AND DRINKS
OXFORD’S UP-TO-DATE SCHOOL
It is claimed that the S.S. Mary and John Elementary School, Oxford, is one of the most go-ahead in the country. Wireless installation of the most modern kind is the latest addition to its amenities, which include a school cinema, ‘‘soft” drinks, bar, and miniature meteorological station.
Patents have contributed part of the cost of the wiring of every room in the school, and programmes are received from all parts of the world. The school syllabus includes regular wireless lessons. Scholars have musical accompaniment to handicraft lessons, and when it is raining, instead of going into the playground, they remain in the school and listen to music. “We are trying to use every modern device for educating children,” the headmaster. Mr R. C. Cole, said. “We have proved how valuable a cinema can be in teaching and we are proving tiiat. radio is equally valuable.”
