Excerpt from Town and Country School Buildings: A Collection of Plans and Designs for Schools of Various Sizes, Graded and Ungraded With Descriptions of Construction, of Sanitary Arrangements, Light, Heat, and Ventilation Yet the important fact remains that at the present time the pub lic school is the only possible basis for popular government. Of course the converse of this is true; that it is only in republics that popular education is either possible or, so far as government is concerned, desirable. This book, it hardly need be said, deals with only one phase of the common-school question, and that a purely external one - the buildings. Not indeed the most important element in education, but a highly essential one. Possibly the generation that has passed away was so eager to get the wisdom of books that the visible appearance of the temple was of no moment. Our fathers may have been so anxious to gather the fruits of the tree of knowledge that they were indifferent to close, dirty, poorly lighted, poorly warmed, and non-ventilated rooms. That state of affairs no longer exists. If the public school is to be popular, if it is to do the work that must be done, if it is to exert the influence and gain the respect that is due to the fundamental institution of the country, its external equipment must be worthy of its high service. There must be the same regard for sanitary considerations in the heating, lighting, and ventilation that is exercised in the best private houses. There must be a thoughtful and scientific study of all matters of convenience and safety, and there must be in addition to this a wise provision for the cultivation of the aesthetic sense which is nowhere so easily developed as in children, and nowhere more imperatively needed than in their training.
