Excerpt from Practical Illustrations of the Principles of Schools Architecture

In 1842, George B. Emerson, Esq, in Part Second of the School and Schoolmaster, devoted a chapter to The School-house, inwhich sound and practical views Of the location, size and ventilation and warming of edifices for school purposes, are presented and illustrated by appropriate cuts. A copy of this valuable work was presented to each of the school districts in the State of New York, and each of the districts in Massachusetts. In 1846, Nathan Bishop, Esq., Superintendent of Public 'schools in the City Of Providence, published a Report on the School-houses of that city, with numerous wood-cuts illustrative of the peculiarities of the furniture and internal arrangements of the buildings devoted to each grade of school. These houses were constructed after an examination of the latest improvements which had been introduced in the School-houses of Boston, Salem, and other large cities and villages in Massachusetts, and have been much consulted by committees and build ers as models.
