Excerpt from Plans and Specifications for School Houses
There is a growing interest throughout the State in the matter of school buildings. This is manifested, not only through the large numbers of school-houses being built, but also in the many inquiries received at the State Department of Education for plans in building new houses. The supreme need in many communities is that of a comfortable and attractive house in which the children may be taught, and people are commencing to realize this need.
Feeling this demand and the need and advantage of neat, attractive school-houses, the State School Commissioner laid these needs before the Educational Campaign Committee of Georgia, and by their direction this pamphlet has been prepared and is now presented to the school-workers of Georgia.
Most of the drawings and plans were prepared by Mr. A. F. N. Everett, of the firm of Bruce, & Everett, Atlanta, Ga. If more particular details are required they may be had at small cost by writing to Mr. Everett.
A supply of these pamphlets will be sent to each county school commissioner, and copies may be had by application to them, or by sending to the State Department.
Comfortable school-houses will conduce greatly to good work on the part of teachers and pupils. It is a notable fact that in the oratorical contests most of the prizes are borne off by students who have attended school in attractive houses. The records also show that the per cent. of attendance is higher in communities where the school-houses are well built and well kept.
