Plans for public schoolhouses approved by the state superintendent of public instruction with explanations, specifications, bills of material, estimates of cost . Design Xo.

This will give ap-proximately 200 cubic feet of air and 15 feet of floor space toeach pupil. The light, according to the best authorities, should comefrom the rear and left side, or left side of the pupil only,and the glass surface should equal from one-sixth to one-fifthof the floor area of the room. The windows should be set 3 or 31,4 feet above the floor,and the window head should come within 12 inches of the ceil-ing. The schoolroom windows should have a 24-inch transomsash, hinged at the bottom, to swing in. In opening a tran-som hinged in this manner the outside air is deflected upwardagainst the ceiling and distributed uniformly through theroom, instead of striking the children in a solid stream, aswhen an ordinary window is opened. The sash below thetransom bar should be hung with cord and weights. T
