WALES' IMPROVED WRITING STOOLS. No. 15. IIIIIIII For most educational purposes, chairs are highly preferable, and this seems to be the general opinion; but, in cases where writing is taught in a separate department, the writing-stool is preferred, as being less expensive, and occupying less room. WALES' PRIMARY SCHOOL CHAIR. No. 16. The engravings No. 16 and No. 17, represent a series of three sizes, suitable for scholars from four years of age and upward, comprehending all the sizes needed in primary and intermediate schools, to wit: No.1, 2, 3, 10 inches high. Each chair is based on an iron pedestal, securely fastened to the seat at the top, and to the floor of the school-room at the foot ; thus becoming a permanent article of furniture, and completely avoiding the confusion, irregularity and noise, which are the unavoidable accompaniments of movable chairs in a school-room. WALES' BASKET PRIMARY SCHOOL CHAIR. The Basket Chair has a tastefully ornamented book basket of iron, into which the children can place their books, slates, and other utensils of study. As a whole, in view of their strength, comfort, beauty and adaptation to their object, these are regarded as the best Primary School Chairs extant. WALES' IMPROVED SETTEES. The engravings No. 18 and No. 19, represent an Improved Settee, eight feet in length, based upon iron supports, designed for that purpose. Such settees are well adapted for recitation-rooms, the walls of school-rooms, for the accommodation of visitors, or for any position where permanent settees are wanted. They are made of any required height, size, or length; often from forty to sixty feet in length, when placed on the walls of school-rooms; and, being without arms or other divisions, the whole length, in fact, forming a single settee, have been found to be very convenient, and of good appear ance. WALES' IMPROVED LYCEUM SETTEE. No. 19. ШКА The Improved Lyceum Settee is divided into five parts or seats, with fancy iron arms, made for that purpose. The engravings, Nos. 20 and 21, represent two substantial, well-made, and comfortable arm-chairs, having no other claim to novelty than may be due to the fact that they are constructed entirely of hard wood, and are finished without paint of any kind; they will therefore wear well, and retain their good appearance without soiling or defacement, for a long period. |
