COLOUR IN SCHOOLS
GETTING AWAY FROM DRAB DINGINESS. NEW POLICY COMMENDED BY MINISTER. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, . This. Day. The effort being made to depart from drab and sombre colours for school buildings was referred to by the Minister of Education, Mr Fraser, speaking yesterday at the Christmas party of the Wellington' Education Board’s staff. Colour and more colour was the prevailing cry, said the Minister. He referred to the dinginess of many Government buildings, including schools, and said that gradually the Education Department was getting away from all that, thanks in large measure' to pioneering work in Christchurch. There red, yellow and other bright colours had been used with pleasing effect and the result was to be seen in the advances made in the Hutt Valley schools, particularly Waterloo, where a complete departure had been made from the usual drab yellowy-brown colour.
