The past twenty years have witness
ed u marked advance In school archi
tecture In many towns Ju the rural
sections of the country. More atten
tion la Udng paid today to school
buildings, sanitation, aurroundlugs and
location than ever uofore. The United
States was slow In making the star,
but now that the Initiative has been
taken there Is no excuse for progrea
lve school directors not doing every
thing In their power to relegate tho
old, obsolete nnd frequently Insani
tary buildings to oblivion, replacing
them with modern, up to date, sanitary
and sightly schoolhouscs.
"The need for an enlightened nnd
liberal policy In schoolbouse construc
tion to tho end that tho schoolbouse
be attractive In appearance and scien
tifically constructed cannot bo too
strongly urged," saya lowa'a auperln
teudeut of public Instruction. "It may
require a few dollars more to aecore
such a scboothouse. but It should bo
remembered that the district la build
ing for half a century at least, and
only tho bent ahould bo considered.
The schoolbouse with Its surroundings
should bo tho most attractive place In
tho district. In which every cblld and
every patron will tnke pride. And tlw
schoolroom should not only be Inviting,
but It should be so ventilated, lighted
nnd heated that the physical health
and mental energy of the children
shall not tx Impaired."
The problem of supplanting tne oia
schoolhnuw with n new structure car
ries with It the discussion of several
Important topics, chief among them
lclng the school site, the school build
Ingnndtho ventilation of the building.
We can do no bolter In this connection
than to quoto from Professor W. II.

slopo secures rapid evaporation. Un
der no circumstances should tho stra

house ahould Iw located near tho geo
graphical center of the district, and
the board should select the site with
this In mind, but the site should be
high and dry and the brightest and
most beautiful spot near the center

'The foundation walls of tho school
house ahould bo brick or atone and ex

walls sbonld bo nt least one foot In

to have a vertical air chamber, and If
there Is no basement suitable ventila
