feet. It offers ideal arrangement and permits separate en- 

 trances to the schoolrooms and to the living apartments. 

 In grounds like these we also have two entrances from the 

 streets, provided the neighborhood is such that we have not 

 more than the usual intermeddling to guard against. The 

 patches of lawn are thrown in front. This serves a two- 

 fold purpose: we secure more pleasing arrangement as seen 

 from the street, and the playgrounds may be located more 

 unobserved in the shelter of the building. The lawn is laid 

 out in pieces to offer different grazing grounds for the lamb. 

 The divers holdings give the children an opportunity to re- 

 spect rights and to divide care. We have a commodious 

 shelter, 25 by 42 feet, freely placed apparatus, various toy. 

 gardens and runways galore. A may-pole is placed, and 

 strips for toy-beds and vines are encircling the entire lot. 

 It is indeed a paradise, the Garden of Eden realized. 



The next illustration, plate number six, finds our build- 

 ing in the very rear. Neighboring structures with high 

 walls conditioned such, and we spread our depth so as to fit 

 snugly against it. The wide grounds are almost undivided 

 and, for those who lay more stress upon a green lawn than 

 upon separate gardens, this design must appeal with force. 

 Shelter, toy-gardens, apparatus, and animals are arranged so 

 as to divide the area as little as possible. While it is true 

 that this partition gives the impression that a very large 

 number of children can be accommodated, it must be re- 

 membered that here it is more difficult to keep the classes 

 and games separate, as will be required at times.
