Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from High School Buildings HE popularity of High School Buildings, Volume I, which is now practically out of print, has encouraged the compiler to present this second collection of illustrations and sketch plans of American secondary schoolhouses. Even in so short a period as six years, since the earlier book appeared, there have been large changes in American secondary education and these have been reflected accurately in the design and construction of buildings. The high school has entirely out grown its academic limitations and traditions and has broadened its influence and its curriculum. Thus, the industrial arts and household arts are no longer basement subjects; the natural sciences are now taught in a way to require diversified laboratories; the physical care of students has been extended to necessitate very complete gymnasia and lunch rooms; and the' movement for the wider use of the school plant by adults has become a fixed fact which school authorities have recognized thru better auditorium and night school facilities. The high school building of the present day is far more inclusive and complicated in the number and type of activities which it serves, and the structures illustrated in the following pages bear out this statement. A departure has been made from the earlier book in the shape of text matter. This consists of articles which appeared originally in the School Board Journal and which aroused considerable attention as statements of fundamental principles in the field of high school architecture.

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.

Download or read book General Report on School Buildings and Grounds of Delaware 1919 Classic Reprint written by George D. Strayer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Report on School Buildings and Grounds of Delaware, 1919 All real progress must rest upon a solid foundation of fact. This is just as true in education as in business. Educationalists in the past have been too prone to follow theories, irrespective of the actual local conditions and needs. In August we published a report on the physical condition of the following schools: Alexis I. du Pont, Mt. Pleasant, New Castle, Newark, Middletown, Smyrna, Dover, Caesar Rodney, Harrington, Milford, Seaford, Blades, Laurel, Georgetown and Lewes. The report was made by Dr. George D. Strayer, Professor of Educational Administration, Teachers' College, Columbia University, and Professor N. L. Engelhardt, Associate Professor of Educational Administration, Teachers' College, Columbia University. They are recognized experts in their own field. In making the survey and writing the report they had no motive or purpose other than to give an accurate description of conditions as they found them in Delaware. This volume has been prepared by Dr. Strayer and Dr. Engelhardt in exactly the same way as the former one. It is an account of the majority of our schools in Delaware, with accurate descriptions and photographs of typical instances. Both of these reports are in the possession of the State Board of Education, and they have also been widely distributed throughout the State. The first impression the reader obtains is one of discouragement. Conditions are undoubtedly bad, but the people of Delaware today are anxious that things which are wrong should be righted as quickly as possible. If there were no prospect of improving our educational conditions, it would be a cruel humiliation to publish such a record as this. Happily we are in the position of being able not only to make the bad good and the good better in the matter of the physical equipment of our schools, but all over the State the best citizens are anxious that these things should be done and done at once. The cost to the taxpayer is not prohibitive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Score Card for City School Buildings Large sums of money have been spent, and still larger amounts must be made available, for the housing of school children. In the United States. In communities in which school accommodations are in use which were provided a generation or more ago, there needs to be a careful survey with a View to reconstruction 'b'r abandonment of buildings that are at present unfit for the purpose for which they are used. The ordinary observer is apt to think of a building as. Good or poor in terms of some particular part of the building with which he is familiar. There is need for much more care ful scrutiny and evaluation of each one of the elements which goes to make up a satisfactory school plant. Some years ago the authors of Standards for City School Buildings, which appear in this document, began to develop a score card and standards for the measurement of school buildings. Growing out of an experience in evaluating more than a thousand school buildings and in the careful study of school building standards, there have been developed a score card upon which is recorded the number of points out of a thousand assigned to any particular building and this state ment of standards. The score card and the accompanying standards have been used to advantage for two separate pur poses: first, the scoring of school buildings in the light of a school building program to be developed by a city, and sec ond, in the checking of plans for new school buildings.
