not in use these should be stored in some sort of reoessed area - not a_ssposed to view.
U not feasible, side wall installation should be included. (thermostats arid other
items which would preclude this should be cUsabated in the early planning stages.)

chalkboards to hold darts.

should be planned. This screen should be mounted &seed 16 inches out frees the

in the front of the room and, when lowered for use with an overhead projector, it
can be slanted to eliminate the 'keystone" effect. In all cases (electric or n0a-
olectric) it should be instructor controlled.
7. OUTLETS (ELECTRICAL AND TELEPHONE) -There should be ample electrical
outlets at front, sides, and back of each classroom to aecommodate the various
types of projectors used. Lighting should be controlled so romp may be
either dimmed or *blacited-out" by the instructor with one or two switches rather
than having a series at switches to turn all lights on or off. in the Urger rooms,
two or more spotlights aimed at the front area would provide more effective illumine thin.
