RURAL SCHOOLS
Proper Methods of Heating and of
Ventilatio
ny CHARLES r. BEEMAN
BY CHARLES r. BEEMAN

Thirty pupils in an ordinary school
room will breathe all of the air once il
about one half hour. By noon they viii
have breathed it over for about the fifth
time.
The air we exhale contains carbon di-
oxide, a poison, organic waste matter and
not infrequently dangerous disease
germs. Can you think of more dis
gushing and dangerous habit than that
of breathing, over and over again, air
that not only contains our own body
poisons but also those of many others in
the roomi
Besides the dangers to health there are
other results which prevent the best of
school work. Much of the listlessness
and disorder in schoolroom and the
nodding of heads in churches is due to
poor ventilation.
In vast majority of rural schools the
ventilation is usually furnished by the
friendly cracks or the broken window
pane. That some better system is needed
is very evident to anyone who has ever
attended rural school and seen the re-
suits of the teachers efforts to ventilate
the room by opening a window. Usually
the windows are so located that it is al
most impossible to open them without
causing a draught on one or more pupils.
OF course make shift for ventilation

number of years has met with splendid
success in the middle and northwest
