neirnlBtlon n.— Capacity of Schoolroom * ; At least 150
cubic feet of air, or 7 square feet of area, are to be allowed
for each sitting providefl
Ekmark L-Every pup- .-...uld have room to sit and more without
being confined or jostled^ ii^.ery child has a right to his own person-
ality and his own share of uncontaminated air. Comfort and conveni-
ence in sitting and moving depend upon the area of the room ; the
quantity of air upon the area and tlie height combined. The height
of the smallest School-room should be twelve feet, and this should be
increased even up to sixteen feet in the larger houses. Two hundred
and fifty cubic feet of air for each sitting is better than one hundred
Remark 2.--In building new houses, sittings should generally be
provided for about one-quarter of the entire population of the District.
Rcgrnlation O.— Cloak Rooms : A hall or room separate
from the School-room, for depositiug hats, cloaks, &c., and
supplied with hooks or pegs, regularly numbered, should be
provided for each school or department; and wherever the
building will perr^jt, two such rooms should be supplied, one
for the use of the boys, and the other for the use of the girls.
nevulation 7.— Form of Desks and Seats: Whenever
new furniture for pupils is procured by any District, it is
prescribed that the desks do not accommodate more than two
pupils each ; that the Seats for the same have suitable backs
and be so graduated with respect to height that the pupils of
different ages may be able to sit with their feet squarely upon
the floor. ^
Remabk l.-The physical comfort of the pupils is necessary to their
inental improvement while good order is impossible where the^re i, co^!
tant uneasiness and discomfort. Seats without backs, and ungradu-
ated, produce suffering and even distortion. To relieve the overstfained
muscles, unnatural postures are assumed by the children, and crooked
spines are a probable result. ' ^^"""-^^
Remark 2.—The best arrangement for seating School-rooms is that
of single or double desks, placed in parallel rows, with a Zb tween
tjie teacher s desk, and are able to give direct attention to the Teacher.

tability on the part of both Teachers and pupils ; headaches, bronchitis
and weak lungs; a sluggish vital action, depriving pupils and teachers
ot halt their mental activity; and weariness and exhaustion of all the
members of the School during the latter half of each day. The only
reason why life is not destroyed in some School houses is the loose and
imperfect construction of the buildings.
Remark 2.— Economy in the use of fuel, equal distribntion of heat
through the room, and a plentiful supply of pure and properly tempered
air, are problems involved in securing a proper system of ventilation.
Upcn fire-places cause a free circulation, but the heat is unevenly dis-
tributed and there is great loss of heat up the chimney. Stoves con-
sume much less fuel, but the heat is not evenly distributed, and there
IS almost no ventilation connected with the process of heating. Win-
dows opened at the top admit the air freely, but the cold current settles
at the bottom of the room, and keeps the feet of the pupils uncomfort-
ably cold. On Its way it strikes the unprotected necks and shoulders
ot many of the pupils, causing colds like any other draught. An onen-
ing in the ceiling is often made, but when it merely connects with a
room overhead no currents are .reated and no ventilation is induced.
When the outlet is through a flue directly into the outer air, the hot
air at the top of he School-room is drawn off, and the foul air below
remains. The air is changed but little, while the waste of heat is very
great. Two separate flues from the ceiling, or the division of a single
flue into several parts, are frequently employed. This plan secures an
upward current through one and a downwU current thrCghr^^^^^^
and causes a change of air in the room. But when a door or window is
opened the descending current ceases, while the hot air continues to
and ol PT ""-'^fu '^ '"^"l^'i'S ''^^ '^' «^P«»*« pupils to draughs
In School houses not having an economic and faultless method of
venHlat^on, the air n the Schoolroom must he ihLughl^ Znged t
eac^^ recess hj opemng the ^Mows and doors. During SchooT time
wh le the pupils are seated, the windows opposite the wind can be oneTd
just sufficient to al ow the escape of hot air. but not to admit coTd air
By causing the pupils to rise from their seats and engage in phvsicai
exercises, the windows can be safely opened at both^the t^p and the

Remark 3 —Recent improvements in hot-air furnaces hivP HntJa-
fac only solved the three problems, already referred to as b vol ved in t
system of ventilation. But hot-air furnaces are too costly for use in anv
considerable number of Schools. It is, however, within the reaeh of
almos every country district erecting a new School-house or eSL^
alterations in an existing one, to secure an inexpensive system of heat
ing and ventiation which possesses all the eLellenc s of^he costt
apparatus mentioned. The details of the plan are as follows :-- '

ResTulation o.— Outhouses : It is required that separate
and commodious outhouses be provided, aud kept in a cleanly
condition, for the use of pupils of different sexes.
Remark 1— The outhouses should be commodious, inoffensive, and
screened from public observation. A high tight board fence should
extend from the centre of the rear of the School-house to the farther
edge ot the lot, dividing the rear grounds into two parts. The out-
houses should not be placed beside this fence, but at a liUle distance
from It, and sufficiently far from the School house to secure their bein-
inoffensive to the School in warm weather. The approaches should be
guarded by a suitable screen or hedge.
Remark 2.— Each outhouse should be supplied with a well-stoned
u\'Ar . P' ^° ^"^"ge<i as to admit of being cleaned out. Care
should be taken to prevent the water running into the vault from off
the bunJin °°^^^ *° *^^ ^'''''*' *^^''®^'^''^' ""3* ^^ provided at the end of

the dust of the street, and the noise of the mill, the workshop
or the railway station. A dry, airy position (witli a very
gentle slope and a southern exposure, if possible), command-
lug as attractive a prospect as natural facilities will permit
will be found best adapted for School purposes. It is indis!
pensable that the ground bo thoroughly dry, and if not so
naturally, that it be well drained. For the moral health of
the pupils, the School house should never be placed in view
of even occasional scenes of brutality or debauchery. la
choosing School sites, Trustees and Inspectors* are to secure
those of readiest accessibility to the majority of the people
to be accommodated, subject to such modifications as a due
regard, in any District, to the foregoing considerations may
require. ''
Ileiruladon l\.-~Size of Lot: In the country. School
grounds should be an acre in extent, but not less than half
an acre ; in villages, not less than a quarter of an acre ; and
in towns, not less than one-eighth of an acre. Separate
play-grounds are required for girls and boys.
Remark 1.— Ainplo grounds should be provided wherever possible
Lxercise IS as essential to the health of children as air is to thefr life'

inents. Ihe relaxation and stimulus arising from physical exercise in
the fresh air, at certain intervals during the day, are productive ofa
very salutary influence upon the intellectual viJUr of^.^pupi• fia
their school work. Higher benefits are also secured by good p av
grounds. They furnish an arena for the display of the red tempers
dispositions, habits and manners of :he pupils.^ The Teacher whTo
superintending the pupils in the pl.ygrounds, will obtain kno^fed 'e
both 1;?).. subsequent instruction, he can turn to the best account
both ,n the encouraging of what is right, and in the dissuading from
what is wrong ; in a word, in the moulding of moral character.
Kemark 2.— In a lot of one acre, sixteen rods front and ten deep is
a convenient form Any other form might be adopted, and the nature
of the ground will often render some other preferable. Whatever may
be the width or length the School house shLld be placed in the ceZ
of the front, and at a little distance from the highway. A high close
board fence, extending from the rear of the Schod house tt the rea of
the lot, will make a suitable division of the playgrounds.
ResTulation lft,~ Waiks : In order to the health and
comfort of the pupils in wet weather, and to the cleanlinesa
,»l^l!^ sanction of the site by the Inspector should be in writins and the Trus
tees should preserve the paper among the public documenU™e^8choolDi.Tr?c!:

of tho School room, a sultabio plank or gravel walk ehoultl
oxtond from tho highway to tho front door of tho School
honso. Similar walks aro also required from tho School
boiiso to tho outhouses.
n«^Knlattnnl9.—Tmprovemcnt of Grounds: Rough or
wet groutid.s aro to bo roudorod as smooth and dry as tho
nature of the ground will permit. In offectiug any such
improvements, Trustees and Teachers are earnestly solicited
to use every care to preserve the ornamental features of tho
grounds, wherever the same may not interfere with the re-
quirements for the playgrounds.
Remark.— Oftentimes without incurring any expense, and cenorallv
by a comparatively trifling expenditure, the School grounds may bo so
arranged as to be attractive to tho pupils, affording them constant plea-
sure during their school dnys, and cultivating in them a taste for the
beautiful in nature. For the purposes of ornament, trees are at once
the most beautiful and the moat enduring. " Airy and delicate in their
youth, luxuriant and majestic in their prime, venerable and picturesque
in their old age, they constitute in their various forms, sizes and de-
velopments, the greatest charm and beauty of the earth in all countries
The most varied outline of surface, the finest combination of picturesaue
materials, the stateliest country house, would be comparatively tamo
and spiritless without the inimitable accompaniment of foliage * *
Buildings which are tame or even mean in appearance, may be made
interesting and even picturesque, by a proper disposition of trees Edi-
fices or parts of them, that are unsightly, or which it is desirable partly
or wholly to conceal, can readily be hidden or improved by wood • and
walks and roads which otherwise would be but simple ways of app'roach
from one point to another, aro, by an elegant arrangement of trees on
their margin, or adjacent to them, made the most interesting and pleas-
ing portions of the residence."— (A. T. Downing.)* ^

Iloariilntion in.— Apparatus : It is required that each
District provide such apparatus as shall be found necegsary
for the efficient teaching of any branch of study pursued in
the School.
Eemark 1.— Some Teachers have little or no idea of the necessity of
apparatus for the purpoise of establishing facts and illustrating princi-
ples. Others have a mistaicen notion that a large amount of costly
apparatijs is necessary to the success of a i^chool No money sliouid bo
wasted in the purchase of useless articles, but the things essential
should always be furnisihed. The ingenious Teacher will usually ex-
plain arid illustrate his lessons by the aid of such common things as can
be readily obtained. Expensive apparatus for illustrating principles of
natural philosophy, is beyond the reach of most country districts ; but
almost every necessary experiment can be performed with articles pro-
curable in tho neighbourhood. The lever, the compound lever, the
pulley, the wheel and ax I*, the inclined plane, the wedge and the screw,
may all be illustrated by the common steelyard and a couple of pulley-
blocks, a wheel or two from an old clock, and a wooden screw. Hydros-
tatics and hydraulics can also'be illustrated by a few tin tubes, or bits
The single trees and groups should be so disposed about tlie School premises as
not to interfere with tiie playground.-., and at the same time to produce as preat a
variety as possilile in tlie appearance of the landscape. If the siiuation is h fine

RExMark 1.— The Trustees represent the inhabitants of the District
and are to transact all School business in their stead, and on their be-
half. The interests of Education cannot thrive in any District unless
these officers efficiently discharge their duties. Much of past weakness
and imperfection is remedied by enlarging the powers of Trustees, and
defining more specifically their important duties. Sound judgment
should be exercised by the various Districts in choosing fit men for the
office— men of intelligence, of business habits, and of educational zeal.

for their share of the County assessment Fund, as the same
shall be, from time to time, provided by the Chief Superin-
tendent.
Remark.— The sum placed at the disposal of the Board of Educa-
tion for Inspectors' salaries is insuflBcient to secure the services of pro-
fessional Teachers for the office. It is believed that the interests of
education will be best promoted by the employment of Inspectors, for
a limited period, chiefly in the work of makinj^c practically known to the
people the provisions of the law, the steps to bo taken to secure its ad-
vantages, the requirements respecting school accommodation, the care-
ful and proper adjustment of boundaries, and, in short, all matters neces-
sary to enable every District to become so familiar with correct modes
of procedure as to ensure the regular support and proper conduct of
schools. As soon as this condition is reached, the work of inspection
proper will require especial attention, and demand professional qualifi-
cations for its successful discharge, as contemplated by the following
Regulation : —
Ilejriilatinu 42. — Umform certijication of candidates for
Inspectorships : In view of the operation of Section 13 of the
Law, all candidates for the office of Inspector thereunder
shall have taufijht for a period of at least three years, and shall
have obtained a license of the Grammar School Chiss in ac-
cordance with Regulations 30 and 31 ; and upon appointment
to t)ffice each Inspector shall spend one term at the Provin-
cial Training School, or such time as the Board of Education
may require, with a view to a more perfect acquaiatance
with the methods of School Management and Teaching to
be employed in the schools of the Province.
