A novel argument in justification of large sites for schools ancl playgrounds has been advanced by Dr George Macdonald, secretary of the Scottish Education Department. Speaking at the opening of a new school, he said land was anything but dear. How many people realised that it was cheaper, often very much cheaper, than linoleum. He believed that the feu-duty they were paying foil* the site of a new school represented a capitalised value of not more than £2OO per acre. That meant that they could have bought the whole ground outright for about one-tenth of the sum which it would cost to lay it with the best linoleum. Herr Hugo Stinnes, the chief of German industrials, is going into the cinema, business.. A company under his control has been formed for the production, selling, lending and general distribution of films. The concern will also build, acquire and run cinemas. It aims at extending its activities all over Central Europe. Herr Stinnes himself has never seen a “movie”; his theatrical experience is limited to one visit to the Berlin Opera House, on which occasion Wagner so bored him that he left halfway through the performance. 0, Night of Moonlight, Stars and Splendour! Gay night which crowned a perfect day, At a carnival on the Grand Canal In old Venice far away. A night of music, love and laughter, A dawn of languor to endure— Hoarseness- and chill, then comfort after Peerless Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure. (ft)
