Excerpt from Rural School Architecture: With Illustrations Sir: A concise yet complete treatise on the proper construction, heating, and ventilation of school buildings has been a desideratum. Works of this character written in other countries have been found quite unsuitable here, and the same objection applies for the South and West to most works written in the Eastern States. The efficient ventilation of school buildings is also a matter not well understood by the majority of builders and certainly is not provided for in most buildings, now erected for school purposes. After much consideration I requested Mr. T. M. Clark, a well known architect of Boston, to undertake the preparation of an article which would be specially serviceable in the construction of school-houses in rural districts and in small villages in every part of the country, and which would include the latest and best information not only about the construction and ventilation of school buildings, but also as to their decoration. I transmit the result of his work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
