The Condition of One Room School Houses

 -

 

The cracks and crevices which are now many in our school houses allow enough cold air in the winter , but not enough fresh air. The rooms should be larger and ceilings higher, and that more attention should be paid to the cleanliness our school and some of the scholars. The foul over- breathed air in the classrooms is a grave capacity for the students and the energy of the teacher. The occupants can not breathe freely. The school rooms were not clean enough nor were some of the students.
