Excerpt from Ventilation and Furnishing of School Houses
The recommendations and suggestions contained in this circular embody the results of long experience in the school room. They are sanctioned by those whose opinions are entitled to weight in such matters. The writer is indebted for valuable hints in various ways to an able circular issued in 1886 by Dr. Hodgkins, of Ontario.
The purpose of this circular is to offer suggestions in regard to the selection of suitable schoolhouse sites, and the erection of commodious school buildings. It seeks to guide and, so far as it may, to stimulate district boards to greater care and diligence in the conduct of this important factor of school interests.
In 1881 Superintendent Whitford sent from this office an able circular embodying his own views and suggestions, and embracing carefully prepared plans of schoolhouses and sites.
There is abundant evidence that this paper was fruitful in many ways. Unfortunately, the evidence is equally abundant that it is still needful to direct attention to the inadequate houses and untidy surroundings in which so many of the pupils of the public schools spend the years that are most potent in determining the character and conduct of their after lives. In the cities and larger villages of the state, school buildings and grounds are often, perhaps generally, a credit to the good taste and public spirit of the communities in which they are situated.
