The first expense is a very email percentage of the total cost of the building, and the cost of maintenance Is minimised by allotting to the school the caxe of the plants and the shrubs, thereby furnishing valuable Instruction In plant life to the children. I am not advocating expensive lawns.

I am referring mostly to the planting of shrubs, using lawns only here and there as spots of color where it Is necessary.

After these duties have been fulfilled! the results are dependent almost entirely upon the wisdom of your selection of leaders.

This paper Is concerned with the former, that Is, grounds and building, and if failure marks these undertakings, successful teaching may follow, but only with a continuous handicap. When you build permanently it is only once In 60 or 6U years, and even much longer than that, before a school is abandoned; therefore, that which, has to be dene for all time should lie executed So that the best workable conditions are attained, and attained to give pleasure as well as satisfaction. This applies to playgrounds, as well as to buildings. The teacher working with poorly arranged classroom, the principal administering with a poorly designed school building, and the playground director controlling a misfit lot, are working with much the same handicap as a child with a physical deformity.

PAINTING TREATMENT.

With regard to painting, beat reflected light is obtained when ceilings are treated with a light tone just off the white, and pleasing wall effects by the use of washable wall paints In light buff colors and the trim stained to harmonize with the wall coloring. Speaking further about the color scheme of the interior of a class room, I can easily close this part of the paper by appealing to the interested parties to endeavor to carry a complete color scheme Into the desks, chairs, tables and into the window tshades, and a good point In speaking of window shales is that It is not desirable, nor was It ever intended, to exclude- sunshine from a class room by dark opaque shades, but rather It, la better that the sunshine be diffused experiences of Irwin, Celayo ana Mams.

locality, size is me most important item to consider In selecting a school site. School grounds are natural recreation centers, and since the school is generally placed near the center of a populous district, therefore, It follows that the grounds as a recreation center will furnish the greater use and do the most good for the community and the city, if it is of sufllclent size to accommodate the iieeUi; oi piu. it must be satisfying to know that the large school grounds is a combination of school and public play grounds and generally cost less than two distinct and separate to meet the needs of a community and Is a better arrangement.

In referring to the assembly hall we find It la rro longer a large room Just for occasional convocations. Besides serving as a place of assemblage, one of Its best ues is that for a gymnasium, and 1 would suggest that the.

dressing rooms be used for showers and locker rooms or the space under the dressing rooms be used for this purpose. The space under the stage, when properly arranged, serves well as storage space for the movable seats of the assembly hal floor. With the structural work of the celling exposed the various gymnasium apparatus may be suspended therefrom. The other details of converting the assembly hall Into a gymnasium are easily attained by careful study of the signed buildings, and this brings me to the point of discussing architectural da- iS" PUBLIC TASTE DEVELOPS. In the last twenty years the publlo taste in this country has been developed ln architecture to an amazing extent by the opportunity to travel, by the Increased wealth of the country, by current magazines, and particularly by the numerous well-trained young men from eoyr universities where architecture is one of the courses.

Consequently, there is a demand for more than the commonplace ln school architecture, and there is no rea-, son why our buildings should not be pleasing, Inviting and interesting In themselves. The meaningless dome, the misapplication of the column, the misapplied worthless ornament, are fast becoming things of the past, and are nothing more than reliys of the carpenter-archtteot period whiLh crowned the spike and the ten-penny nail and are -indicative of poverty In imagination and lack of training. Instead of these are the well studied plan and elevation, the expression of good wholesome thought and the working out of each problem by Itself, that It may have a character of Its own, and not a borrowed mask from some state upe oi transoms in ciajwrooms, a scneme which has been adopted ln all the new schools of Oakland and now followed In many sections of the country. The purpose of same Is to- create natural ventilation when the heating and ventilating system Is not 'In use. These transoms fhould be placed close to the celling on the wall opposite the windows.

I say close to the celling for the reason that when placed lower reflected light will enter tne room and create a cross-light effect on the desks, and. if too low, there Is frequently a strong draught across the heads of the children. These transoms should be not more than 2 feet 6 Inches ln height and should open Into the room, and chains holding them open to an angle of about 45 degrees with the normal. In the work we have been doing here we have used from three to five transoms to a class room. A point to mention Is that in the use of transoms the corridor floors should be covered with battleship linoleum or some similar material ln order to eliminate noises.

SIZE OF CLASS ROOM. Assuming that the number of pupils for a grammar grade class room shall not be more than forty, and for the primary not more than forty-two, we have ound that the best results are to be had with the else of the room of the following dimensions: Width, 22 feet: length, 31 feet 6 Inches; height, 12 feet 6 Inches or 13 feet. This allows 2 feet for width of desk and 1 foot 8 Inches for wldth of aisle between desks and 3 feet between side walls and desks.

As we are fast arriving to the point when we look for these assets to our buildings and communities, and It 1s onlv necessary for you to visit the slgn a good question to discuss is, the building be a one, two or three-story building? A matter most vitally Important, for these are many angles to thla question.

Having been the architect for a number of each type recently constructed, I feel free to talk to you about the merits and demerits of each. "ONE. STORY MANIA."

These areas require from ten to twelve' acres of ground as a minimum, remembering, however, that these large grounds are sparsely located throughout the city or towrj For the smaller school ground, at least four acres of land advisable. This will permit at least one baseball field and subdivision for tennis, croquet and basketball courts for both boys and girls. A great many of our boards of education and that part of the public who have Interested themselves In this work, realize the need of large school grounds, but the uninformed must be enlightened to th fact that what was termed sufficient, ground a few years ago, is entirely antiquated by the requirements of today, die to the wider use of the school and Its grounds.

In fact, the outdoor side of school life Is as important for good citizenship as what occur, within the wall of the building. Inasmuch as small children play close to the walls of a school the east side of the building ln temperate climate should generally face the playground. This will minimize the shadow, falling on this rnuch-uped play space. Also one-half the building and the play-yard will receive warmth from the morning sun.

In adopting the size of a room the following units of measurements have been used: Dimensions of seat and desk, 2 feet ln width by 2 feet 6Vi Inches ln length. This makes a bank of seats consisting of five rows In width by eight seats ln length a block equal to 46 feet hy 20 feet 4 Inches. This ln a room 81 feet 8 Inches ln length, will allow 3 feet between the rear wall and the last row of seats, and 8 feet 2 Inches between the front-row and the teacher's blackboard, which 1b ample room for the teacher's table and circulation ln front of same. This size room will permit of approximately 69 lineal feet of blackboard spaco. FAVORS SLATE BLACKBOARDS.
