Domestic science, principles and application

Walls are best tiled or made of glazed brick, but these materials are too expensive for the average school. Hard wall plaster with a flat paint finish gives as good results and costs much less. Rooms are made much more attractive if tinting is done in blue and white, and there is no difference in the cost.
