rile serve two senses when used in a school building. Their highly light reflective surfaces raise the light level in classrooms. Their sound absorbent qualities make spoken instruction more disrincr--more easily understood.
These examples suggest the scope of acous tical tile use in school structures. It reduces the noise of reverberation in corridors which is often a disturbing element in adjoining class rooms. And in auditoriums, gymnasiums, class rooms, cafeterias it has functions which more than justify its cost.
Acoustical tile is almost universally used in new school structures. It is being adopted and installed in many existing buildings as well. For beauty--for quiet--for economy, the company named on the back cover of this magazine has the best sound control answer. Their systems of installation provide for all structural problems. Call them for reliable suggestions on acoustics.
