Book excerpt: Excerpt from Design for a City School Building The class room is the fundamental unit of the school-house design. In American practice it is distinguished on the one hand from the recitation room, which has only chairs or settees for the pupils and is used, as its name implies, only for reci tations (or sometimes also for lectures and dictation exercises), and on the other from the general study room, which is found more frequently in Europe than With us, and in which a number of class es, aggregating a hundred or two of pupils, spend the assigned hours of study between recitations. The normal American class room accommodates from 30 to 50 (or rarely up to 60) pupils as fixed desks. In some special or private schools the number in a class room is as low as 25; but economy of administration makes b it desirable that the number should not fall below 30 to 35, while efficiency demands that it should not greatly or often ex esed 40. Each pupil has a desk, and the total floor area should not be less than 18 square feet per pupil, with at least 216 cu bic feet as the minimum cubic volume per pupil. Twenty square feet and 260 feet, respectively, are better figures for all ex cept the lower grades attended by small children. A slightly oh long room, with the teacher's desk at one end, is the best shape. Thus for a 40-desk class room in an upper grade grammar school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American School Building Standards The present work is offered to the public in the belief that there is still great need for the dissemination of reliable information regarding correct design and construction in public school buildings in this country, and that "every little helps." The author makes no claim of originality for most of the matter contained in the work, unless it be as regards arrangement and selection. He has drawn freely upon all the well known modern works upon the subjects treated, modifying conclusions as experience and the most recent authorities approve. The controlling motive has been to so condense and standardize the best present day practice as to produce a compact handbook for ready reference, eliminating both the historical and purely aesthetic phases of the subject, for the sake of utility. The author acknowledges help received from, and opinions influenced by, publications of The Boston Schoolhouse Commission, Mr. Edmund M. Wheelright, Prof. A. D. F. Hamlin of Columbia University, Mr. Warren R. Briggs, Mr. M. C. Huyett, Prof. Rolla C. Carpenter of Cornell University, Prof. S. H. Wood-bridge of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Mr. R.

A city is now conceived as a corporation working for the common good in a businesslike way. This implies adapting for city development the methods employed by the successful commercial and industrial corporations of the country. Part Of the program followed by such organizations has been the study Of the future needs of the people they expect to serve, as well as an attempt to discover the increase in growth of population in the communities in which they are doing business. The business corporation serving a widely scattered public which does not build in terms Of the future development of the territory which it serves soon fails to make adequate dividend returns to its stockholders.

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.

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.

Download or read book Toward Better School Design Classic Reprint written by William Wayne Caudill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-03-22 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Toward Better School Design The material for this book has been gleaned largely from three sources: (1) research findings of the Texas Engineering Experiment Station, (2) experience of the author as a practitioner, and (3) experience of leading architects and educators whose great contributions made this book possible. The book offers no total solu tions or complete plans. These were intentionally left out. Solutions are relatively unimportant because they apply to only a few situations. What is important is a methodology to be applied in each planning situation to make every new school a better school. The readers will note that this book has not been organized into grade grouping classifications such as elementary schools and high schools. But is there really a difference in the approach to planning elementary schools and high schools? The author's experience has been that there is no difference between planning problems on the two levels which is important enough to require a distinction.

Download or read book Planning Secondary School Buildings Classic Reprint written by Nickolaus Louis Engelhardt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Planning Secondary School Buildings In this volume, the authors have endeavored to envisage the secondary school of the future. It will not be a standardized school. American communities will continue to plan and build to meet their local requirements. The school building will be planned to make the curriculum work. It will offer expanded opportunities for learning. It will serve, not a limited number of special minds, but will advance the individual interests of the various types of youth. It will make provision for learning the social arts as well as for growing in physical health and emotional stability. It will be the educational focus of its community serving youth and adults alike. It will become a superior educational and inspirational center for all American youth. This volume has been long in preparation. During three decades many of the Engelhardt students in school administration in Teachers College, Columbia University, participated in discussions and conferences, the results of which appear in these chapters. Architects, with whom the authors have been associated as educational consultants, have raised issues and offered suggestions that have been incorporated here for school building improvement. During the five year period, 1942-1947, N. L. Engelhardt, Sr., as Associate Superintendent of Schools of New York City in charge of'the Division of Housing and Business Administration, supervised the preparation of the New York City Manual of School Planning, modification of which has been included in several chapters. Scores of individuals contributed to the development of this manual. School board members and superintendents of schools and their staffs, who have frequently made valuable contributions to the planning of school buildings in association with the authors as educational consultants, will find many of their ideas incorporated here. Several sections of Volume VII, Planning Guides for San Francisco's School Buildings, prepared by the authors as a part of the twelve volume school building survey report of that city in 1948 have also been modified or expanded for inclusion in various chapters of this book. In their surveys of the school plant of cities in all parts of the United States, the authors have discovered unusually excellent characteristics of high school buildings, recording of which here has been felt worthwhile for future planners.
