Open-Air School Habit
Getting Better Every Year
Rr wILI1AM BRADY, N. D.

vT1HE open-air school habit IS gettlne
better every year. People in general
are letting a little common sense trickle
into their cerebral hemispheres. and the
SCHOOL children, especially the physically
defective ones, are reaping the benefits
OF open air life.
New York city has some 20 open
window schoolrooms, and the children
fortunate enough to be in those rooms
make Just little better progress In
their schoolwork than do children In
closed-window schoolrooms, as one would
naturally expect. II fresh air is good
for the body, II is good for the mind.
open window schoolrooms are all right
for merely anemic children, or those
with catarrhal tendencies or those
threatening to undergo operations for
enlarged tonsils or adenoids. But open
windows are not enough for children or
families or households where tubercu-
losls exists or has recently existed. Open
windows bring in some fresh air-and
fresh air is i.-thing but cool, moving
air-but there Is still something to be
gained in a real open al: schoolroom
that can't be had in an open window
schoolroom. We are unable to define
what this something is, but we know
Il is We know there is something the
porch bedroom adds to health that the
open bedroom window does not add. And
there is something the open air shack
brings to the victim Of tuberculosis that
open windows will not bring. Perhaps
Il is light. or some chemical influence.
We can't define 1t, but It Is there in the
open air.
In every school there are at least some
children whose health demands the open
air schoolroom, saying nothing of the
anemic, nervous, rundown teacher her
self.
Have you an open-air room in your
school building7 Or do the people in your
district feel that the less fresh air a
schoolchild has the better for the tax
rate?
