Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concrete School Houses Owing to the monolithic character of the concrete walls and columns and their great strength, large window area is possible. This is particularly true where a reinforced skeleton system is employed and the walls are only a veneer to keep out the elements. Concrete factories have window areas as high as 85 per cent of the total wall area, and it is stated by some owners that the large amount Of light increases their employees' efficiency five to ten per cent. If such an increase is possible in the factory, it will be more than possible in the school-room. Children are very susceptible to their surroundings, and the influence Of a bright, well-lighted room can not help but be for increased efficiency.

This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Illustrations of the Principles of Schools Architecture In 1842, George B. Emerson, Esq, in Part Second of the School and Schoolmaster, devoted a chapter to The School-house, inwhich sound and practical views Of the location, size and ventilation and warming of edifices for school purposes, are presented and illustrated by appropriate cuts. A copy of this valuable work was presented to each of the school districts in the State of New York, and each of the districts in Massachusetts.

These houses were constructed after an examination of the latest improvements which had been introduced in the School-houses of Boston, Salem, and other large cities and villages in Massachusetts, and have been much consulted by committees and build ers as models.

This book was released on 2017-12-16 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concrete in the Country With little help other than looking and listening. The farmer grasped the idea of a concrete walk, and being a natural inventor and jack-of-all-trades. Improved on the method by adding a small curb next to his flower bed to keep the dirt from washing on the white walk. This walk was a blessing to the boy - all the time formerly given to scrubbing and weeding the old brick walk could now be devoted to fishing. The yard walk was extended to the barns and outlying buildings. Wading through seas of mud and resulting tracked-up kitchen floors became a thing of the past. By simply increasing the width of the walk, a cellar floor was provided and the farmer had a dry cellar. This was so clean and so odorless that he considered such a floor fit for that most immaculate of all places - the milk house. Concrete cellar hatchway and steps, safe under the heaviest barrel of vinegar. And water-tight, were made in a manner similar to walks. Brick work had long been laid up in a mixture of Portland cement and sand. As this kept the water out, the farmer reasoned that it would keep the water in. And he started to build cistern floors, walls and cover of Portland cement concrete at one-third to one-half the cost of the old brick cistern. After a little more observation. He quit digging deep cistern-pits, with the necessary annoyance of thawing out frozen pumps and carrying water - he built a concrete cistern on top of the ground and made the pumping and carrying of the water a mere matter of turning a faucet in the kitchen and the bath room. Several years ago corn was so cheap that in some sections it was burned for fuel instead of coal. No consideration was then given to the bushels wasted in muddy feed lots. If the mud became too deep, the feeding was transferred to the blue grass pasture. To be sure. As the sod wore out, the feeding-place had to be changed; but somebody had advanced the idea that this particular method of feeding was good for the soil. Many farmers had tried wooden feeding floors and had found them a paying proposition as far as the saving of feed was concerned. In the general health of the animal, and in the shortened time of fattening. But two great drawbacks were the rats that infested them and the constant need of re pairs. In concrete the thoughtful farmer saw the possibilities of an ideal floor - an easily cleaned, rat-proof, disease-proof surface Upon which his hogs, sheep, cattle and poultry might consume the feed even to the smallest particle.
