Excerpt from Rural School Architecture: School Room Decoration, Appendix to the XXIII Biennial Report of the Superintendent of Public InstructionSize - With artificial ventilation, which should always be provided, the size of the school room may be determined by the area required to seat the pupils, with a proper allowance for aisles and front space. Forty-eight pupils in the grammar grades may be seated in a room with an area of 775 square feet. If the number of pupils is to be limited to 40, it is best to retain this size and allow a more liberal spacing of desks. The primary grades with their smaller desks may get along with smaller rooms, but the desirability of open space for games and exercise and the liability of changing the grades are argu ments against a reduction of size. On the other hand if the area is increased, there is a temptation to school boards to add extra seats and over crowd the rooms to the detriment of the school work.Therefore, it is wise to adopt 775 square feet as the standard area for a school room.If provision must be made. For 56 pupils, an area of 890 square feet will be required.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
