Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Grounds: Their Design and Development Modern education seeks to contribute to the expansion of the life of the child by providing an environment of beauty - buildings of pleasing architecture and grounds with the charm of landscape gardening. Our school grounds should be attractive, placed where they will conveniently serve their tributary districts according to the best standards of city planning, large enough and of such well chosen topography as to provide amply for playgrounds, parking, borders, and gardens, all so judiciously planned, that their orderliness and obvious wisdom of arrangement become elements of beauty in the unity of the whole. It is advisable to have a well studied plan for every school ground, regardless of size. A definite portion of the funds allotted for building purposes ought to be set aside for the development of the grounds, in the very smallest districts as well as in those which can afford to secure the professional services of a landscape architect. A worthy appreciation of artistic school buildings has been created during recent years, especially in the cities, and in the more progressive rural districts. Construction should be the basis of building design. With this in mind, false fronts are to be avoided, especially that too prevalent imitation of the "mission" style with weird scrolls concealing a simple gabled roof. Closely following the desire for good architecture has come an understanding of the value of landscape development. Our schools have assumed a more important role in community life through the wider use of the buildings and playgrounds as public meeting places. The location of such an important feature should receive. careful consideration from the viewpoint of modern city planning.

This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Improvement of School Buildings and Grounds A well ordered, well kept school garden would not only give instruction in the best practical methods in horticulture, but would give an introduction to the plant life of the vicinity and, in many cases, would so open the eyes of the pupils and others in uenced by them as to give a closer and happier relationship with Nature and a broader and more generous view of life. Improved methods and appliances in gardening would give an additional interest to life in the country. Why should not our children be taught to take something of that interest in Nature which so delights one in the writings of Thoreau or Emerson, of John Burroughs or of Bradford Torrey? To enrich the school life of the country boy with a wider knowledge of trees and owers, Of birds and other animals wouldbe of great prae tical value to him in whatever circumstances his subsequent life might be spent. Interest in such objects is a source of perennial pleasure. One cherishes in memory special occasions of suc cesses or surprises in finding rare owers or unusual numbers of more common ones and enjoys again their beauty as Words worth so quaintly expresses it in his poem on The Daffodils.

This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Landscape Improvement of Rural School Grounds Our forefathers in New England, while facing, problems involving their very existence, did not neglect the development of their home grounds or the improvement of their village streets, as the beautiful old colonial gardens and state American elms so frequently testify. The love for beautiful gardens and well developed home grounds which were such intimste parts of their lives in the mother country, continued to manifest itself, and not until the struggle for an independent national life began, did the spirit of progress in landscape gardening begin to wane. Later, as economic conditions began to improve and the people became more prosperous, there was a renewal of interest in better home surroundings and general civic development. There were new and unimproved sections of this country, however, which in turn were destined to pass through the usual pioneer stage, but which were not quite so fortunate as New England, because colonial life with many of its cherished traditions had ceased to exist and the influence it had exerted over the landscape improvement of that sec tion was partly lost to others. The Spanish padres in the early days of California established gardens around the missions, but with the advent of the white settler and the days of '49 the interest in these gardens began to wane, and they have never since been very important factors in the landscape gardening of the state.

Download or read book The Evaluation and Improvement of School Buildings Grounds and Equipment Classic Reprint written by Charles W. Odell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-17 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evaluation and Improvement of School Buildings, Grounds and Equipment Although school plants have been roughly evaluated ever Since they were first constructed, it is only within the last few years that this evaluation has approached Objectivity. During-the last decade a number Of score cards by which school plants and their equipment may be rated have been devised. Each Of these is composed Of a num ber Of items, most Of which apply to building plans as well as to buildings already in existence. In addition to the list Of items, several cards provide, either as an integral or as an accompanying part Of the scale, more or less detailed suggestions both as to the accepted standards and the most common deviations below these standards. Thus a superintendent or anyone may use these scales not only for actually rating a school plant or proposed plans but also for improv ing faults in an existing plant. It is true that these scales yield more reliable ratings when used by experts but they in general are simple enough and are accompanied by such directions that they can be used with profit by a school administrator who is willing to devote a little time to their study. In order to secure reliable ratings for buildings it is recommended that at least two, or better three, persons do the scoring and that their scores be averaged.

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 Design for a City School Building Classic Reprint written by Walter Thomas Bailey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-26 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
