A selection of the type of mounting should be determined by the situation in which the screen is to be used. If there is a railing above the blackboard in the classroom in which two small hooks or nails may be easily placed, these can be used to suspend one of the screens mounted on an ordinary shade roller either covered or uncovered. However, it will be necessary to have these nails or hooks placed in each room where the screen is to be used, so if it is not convenient to make such a provision, it will be better to purchase a screen on a tripod which can be easily adjusted.
