ATTRACTIVE PICTURES FOR BRIGHTENING SCHOOLS. 



At the present time there is a general movement in the direction of 

 making schoolrooms brighter by means of coloured pictures ; the pictures 

 to be attractive and educative rather than merely instructional. The 

 difficulty has always been to get good ones at any reasonable cost. We 

 have therefore ventured to prepare a series of landscape subjects, all in 

 colour, and some in glowing colours. The actual picture measures about 

 32 x 20 inches, and is printed on paper 35 x 22^ inches. They are 

 intended to be seen from a distance.
