Excerpt from School Architecture, Containing Articles and Illustrations on School Grounds, Houses, Outbuildings, Heating, Ventilation, School Decoration, Furniture, and Fixtures
Those with professional knowledge concerning the requirements for a modern school house should prescribe the general standards, and from these let architects determine the other features of school buildings. In this book will be found the principal requirements for school architecture gathered from reliable sources. It is not desired that boards of education will follow these plans in every detail, but it is fully expected that they will build according to prescribed standards. The county superintendent should not agree to plans that break the well-established laws of school architecture. Some suggestions found in this publication will seem like dreams to school officers in regions where public money is scarce, but such officers should take courage, for the time is near at hand when all districts of West Virginia must, by some means or other, have sufficient funds to make school advantages approximately equal throughout the state.
We take this means of thanking the architects and business firms for many of the plates used. While we wish to call attention to this material, we wish it understood that no discrimination for or against any reliable firm with which school officers desire to deal is intended.
