An Ideal Country School

High ideals In sanitary REQUIRE
ments for rural schools are proposed
In bulletin that Is distributed
through the United States Bureau of
Education. The bulletin comes from
tho Joint committee on health pro-
biems In education. composed of mem
bers OF the National Educational AS
sociation and the American Modica,
Association.
The general ideal proposed "a that
the country school should be as sani-
tary and wholesome In essential mar
ticulars as the best home i'm the COM
munity."
The schools should be located I'm
hcalthful place." declares the COM
mittcc. Noise should be eliminated
children should not be Obliged to wall,
farther than two miles or ride more
than six. Fairgrounds should be ample
and well drained. and tho school
ground should include real garden
or experimental farm. with trees and
plants grouped artistically."
The school house. according TO tho
bulletin should be as nearly nreproof
as possible. Doors should open out
ward. a small room for consultatlons
ana emergency purposes, and one for
workshop, instruction in cooking and
preparing refreshments should be pro-
vided.
In the matter OF ventilation and
heating. the bulletin gives specific
suggestions. Fresh air should be pro-
vidod through window board ventilo-
tors except where the furnace or iaolk-
eted stove is used in which case ade-
quate inlets and outlets should be pro-
vided. Every school should haye n
thermometer and temperature I'm cold
weather should be between 60 and 6S
degrees.
Light should be abundant. "The best
arrangement" says the bulletin. "is Ia
nave the light come only from the left
side of the pupil and from the long
wall or the class room. Tho school
room should receive direct suni,rh,
some time during the day, but the
main window should not face directly
south. East or west facing is dcsir-
able In providing shades for win
dows dark ones should be used at the
top OF windows TO control light on
bright days.
There should be no dry sweeping
or dusting," says the colnmittee
Floors and furniture should be
cleaned with damp sweepers and oily
cloths. Scrubbing, summing and air.
ing are better than any form of fumi-
CATION"
Ihe common drinking cup should
not be tolerated. Care should he
taken that drinking water always
comes from safe source. drinking
fountains, located just inside or ont
side the school house, with sufficient
pressure for running water, should be
provided. That water for washing
should be easily accessible and should
be utilized always after using the
toilet seems little enough to ask. but
many schools arc found TO be lacking
In this respect"
The bulletin speaks at length upon
sanitary toilets. If there is no water
system, separate closets for boys and
girls should be at least so feet from
the school house i'm different direc-
tions.
Copies OF the full set of REQUIRE
monts may be had free by writing To-
the commissioner of education. Wash-
lngton' ID. C. County superintendents
OF schools and county boards OF edu-
cation may obtain sufficient number
to supply all their teachers and school
committeeman.
