A Novel Innovation

-- School Equipment A LOUDSPEAKER in every classroom, bringing to the students important radio programmes from a central radio receiver, or, at other times, messages direct from the principal; a cafeteria equipped with speakers that furnish musie for the pupils at lunch: time; and an auditorium in which the entire school may enjoy such programmes in a body-these are innovations in a.new high school at Great Neck, New York.
