THE GENERAL PLAN OR THEORY OF THE PLACE 11 _J L and simple curves; and alongside the walks, especially in an- gles or bold curves, planting may be inserted. A suggestion for school premises on a four-corners, and which the pupils enter from three directions, is made in Fig. 4. The two playgrounds are separated by a broken group of bushes extending from the building to the rear boundary; but, in general, the spaces are kept open, and the heavy border-masses clothe the place and make it home-like. The rioaa lineal extent of the group margins is as- tonishingly large, and along all these margins flowers may be planted, if de- sired. If there is only six feet between a schoolhouse and the fence, there is still room for a border of shrubs. This border should be between 4. Sug the walk and the fence, — on the very boundary,—not between the walk and the building, for in the latter case the planting divides the premises and weakens the effect. A space two feet wide will allow of an irregular wall of bushes, if tall buildings do not cut out the light; and if the area is one hundred feet long, thirty to fifty kinds of shrubs and flowers can be grown to perfection, and the school-grounds will be practically no smaller for the plantation.
