Excerpt from Hygienic Requirements of School Furniture
The subject of the hygienic requirements of school-rooms, and of school furniture, has been engaging the attention of scientists, physicians and teachers for the last half century, during which time numerous reports before educational societies, and articles in magazines, have been accumulating, both in this and in other countries. But, as yet, so far as the author of this treatise is aware, no publication exists that treats the whole matter comprehensively; and, in presenting to the public his own views on one branch of the subject, - that of the proper construction of school furniture, - he thinks he is rendering a service to teachers, school committees, parents, and all interested in the physical well-being of the young, by indicating the scattered sources from which information on the subject may be had, and by quoting at some length whatever has seemed to him of value in publications alluded to.
To one unfamiliar with the subject, the dangers pointed out in the following pages as likely to arise from defective schoolrooms, and more particularly from improperly adapted furniture, may seem purely imaginary, but he will probably be surprised when he sees the long list of writers who, like the author, believe these dangers to be real.
