ffom {hree to five feet. Wo quote the following, tbucliing on 

 l^atmf's ideas rfelative to the inside structure : 



" The wood-work should all be stained, and the walls tinted 

 sbme soft nefttSml tfeit — gray, cream or pearl color. The windows 

 '8*6 all sash inflows, double hung for purposes of v^tilation ; 

 stod, in addition, there are two ventilating shafts rising from ithe 

 floor through ihe attic, and terminating in the ventilator on the 

 ridge of the main roof. These shafts have openings near the 

 floor and ceiling, with arrangements for opening and shutting at 

 Will. They are made of smoothly planed, well jointed pine 

 boards, and measure each sixteen inches square inside. In oirder 

 to keep up the circulation, and to supply cool air from outside, a 

 shaft is introduced, running along under the floor, and terminat- 

 itg at the platform on which, in winter, the stove or heating 

 ^paratus will Stand, and from this distributed into the room by 

 numerous sfliall holes in the riser of the platform. We consider 

 the simplest methods of ventilation the best, and the above will 

 be found both simple and effective. The great desideratum is to 

 provide m^ns for the discharge of a certain quantity of vitia,ted , 

 air, and to supply its place by the same quantity of pure air, 

 properly wamted in winter. To make the discharge more 

 Effective, tke Btove pipe may be carried up in connection with one 

 61 the shafts, rarrfying the air, and making the upward current 

 JBtrongifer, i)ttt in ordinary cases this will be hardly necessary. 



JPhete ftre two entrances to this house, one for boys and one for 

 gi*ls. Bg& entries are ten feet apatt, and are in the main build- 

 '»!%, ^opening dii«e% iato the school Toom.
