Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bulletin of One, Two, Three and Four Room School Buildings
In considering the ?oor space of a building, the matter of cloak rooms, vestibules, library and fuel room ought to receive careful attention. These are essential elements in the planning of any school building of whatever size or material. Separate cloak rooms for boys and girls should be arranged. They should be provided with hooks for the hats, cloaks and coats, and shelves for the dinner baskets. The doors of the cloak rooms should open into the main room. To have them open only into the vestibule adds considerably to the problem of discipline. It is especially important to keep the cloak rooms in a sanitary condition. To that end ample light and ventilation should be provided.
A small room for library and storage purposes has come to be one of the most useful agencies of the rural school. With very little additional expense such a room may be provided with books, book cases, reference works, a table and a few chairs. This will give a place for the older pupils to study when they have special work to prepare. The library room is an in dispensible part of the modern country school house. A fuel room or fuel basement should also be included in the plans. It will cost less than a separate coal house and Will add greatly to the convenience of the school plant.
