the improved standards Of lighting
established az q result of the rapid
development in the art Of lighting
in recent years. Systems and IA
cilities that were considered ade-
ouate few years ago are now re-
garded an obsolete even though the
equipment may be in good condi.
ton. Business interests have found
it worth while TO provide lighting
Installations according to the latest
approved standard for industrial
workers; 1t is certainly even more
important to give consideration to
the work rooms of children.
when new school buildings are
being constructed, adequate natural
and artificial light can be provided
with very little added expense. Won
derful improvements can be made
In old buildings by properly finish
ing the walls and ceilings, by the
Installation Of shades at windows,
by the, proper arrangement of
desks and by edipping the present
artificial lighting system with COR
rectly designed rejecting shades
and diffusing glassware. The low
warrants their careful consideration
by school authorities"
The three important elements of
lighting are declared to be amount
Of illumination, distribution OF light.
and diffusion Of light. Regarding
the design OF school buildings, Mr..
Henry said:
We are dependent upon the light
from the sky for all our natural
lighting, and since 1t is superior
to any form OF artificial light, every
means should be provided whereby
1t may be utilized as much as pos
sible. Windows and skylights are
the direct means by> which day.
light is admitted to the classroom.
The securing Of an adequate
amount, therefore, depends upon
the design Of the building. The
architect who plans the building is
responsible for this. He should de.
sign the school building so that
each room will have windows of
sufficient size and number. Further,
more, the windows must be prop.
erly located and the rooms must
be Of suitable proportions. It is
even important to consider the 10.
cation of the building with respect
to other buildings" :
Diffusion of light is called the
most difficult problem confronting
lighting experts.
