20 GOOD HEALTH 



Each child needs as much as you do, and grown people 

 need more. This shows how much air must come and 

 go every hour to supply the fresh air needed in a room 

 full of school children. 



In almost every city there are old schoolhouses where 

 the rooms do not get fresh air enough ; but in New York 

 City the new schoolhouses are made in such a way that 

 each child has eighteen hundred cubic feet of fresh air 

 every hour.
