Excerpt from Score Card for City School Buildings Large sums of money have been spent, and still larger amounts must be made available, for the housing of school children. In the United States. In communities in which school accommodations are in use which were provided a generation or more ago, there needs to be a careful survey with a View to reconstruction 'b'r abandonment of buildings that are at present unfit for the purpose for which they are used. The ordinary observer is apt to think of a building as. Good or poor in terms of some particular part of the building with which he is familiar. There is need for much more care ful scrutiny and evaluation of each one of the elements which goes to make up a satisfactory school plant. Some years ago the authors of Standards for City School Buildings, which appear in this document, began to develop a score card and standards for the measurement of school buildings. Growing out of an experience in evaluating more than a thousand school buildings and in the careful study of school building standards, there have been developed a score card upon which is recorded the number of points out of a thousand assigned to any particular building and this state ment of standards. The score card and the accompanying standards have been used to advantage for two separate pur poses: first, the scoring of school buildings in the light of a school building program to be developed by a city, and sec ond, in the checking of plans for new school buildings.

Excerpt from High School Buildings The popularity of "High School Buildings, Volume I," which is now practically out of print, has encouraged the compiler to present this second collection of illustrations and sketch plans of American secondary schoolhouses. Even in so short a period as six years, since the earlier book appeared, there have been large changes in American secondary education and these have been reflected accurately in the design and construction of buildings. The high school has entirely outgrown its academic limitations and traditions and has broadened its influence and its curriculum. Thus, the industrial arts and household arts are no longer "basement subjects;" the natural sciences are now taught in a way to require diversified laboratories; the physical care of students has been extended to necessitate very complete gymnasia and lunch rooms; and the movement for the "wider use" of the school plant by adults has become a fixed fact which school authorities have recognized thru better auditorium and night school facilities. The high school building of the present day is far more inclusive and complicated in the number and type of activities which it serves, and the structures illustrated in the following pages bear out this statement. A departure has been made from the earlier book in the shape of text matter. This consists of articles which appeared originally in the School Board Journal and which aroused considerable attention as statements of fundamental principles in the field of high school architecture. The hearty thanks of the compiler and publishers are hereby expressed to each of the architects and engineers represented in the book.

Excerpt from Modern American School Buildings: Being a Treatise Upon, and Designs for the Construction of School Buildings The preparation of this work has been fragmentary in the extreme; the several subjects have been treated at intervals, usually wide apart, extending over a period of twenty years; they have, as a rule, been taken up at moments when the machinery of the office was practically at a standstill, or when some special problem or incident had brought forcibly to my mind the need of radical reforms.

Excerpt from The Planning and Construction of Board Schools The buildings of the Board, although erected under Parliamentary powers, are not exempt from the London Building Act. Public elementary schools are divided into departments as follow: boys' schools, girls' schools, senior mixed schools, junior mixed schools, infant schools. Ibere the sites are sufficiently large and level, schools of all one story are usually a rule, a senior mixed school, consisting of class-rooms grouped round a central hall, with an infants' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Modern School Buildings, Elementary and Secondary: A Treatise on the Planning, Arrangement, and Fitting of Day and Boarding Schools The published information on the subject of school buildings in this country, especially with regard to those for the purpose of secondary education, is curiously deficient. The writer of this work, when joining, some years ago, a body concerned with the building and management of a considerable number of Secondary Schools, felt very strongly the want of a book dealing with the ordinary questions arising in connection with their buildings. A careful search, however, elicited the fact that no such thing existed. There was of course Mr Robson's well-known "School Architecture," but this, brought out in 1874, a period when drastic changes in tuition and in the arrangement of school buildings were in progress, has become for the most part inapplicable to the modern style of school. It is also practically confined to the Board Schools of London, and a short chapter in it, with another in Mr Robin's "Technical School and College Building," represent the literature dealing with the subject of buildings for Secondary Schools. The present volume is intended to supply this deficiency, and while both Elementary and Secondary Schools are included, the latter have been made its principal aim. They are dealt with before the Elementary Schools, on the ground that it is more desirable that the methods of Secondary School buildings should find their way into the Elementary Schools, than that those of the Elementary School should be adopted in the Higher Schools, as has hitherto been too much the case; probably owing to the fact that the books published on school buildings treat nearly all questions from the point of view of the Board School.

Excerpt from Planning Secondary School Buildings In this volume, the authors have endeavored to envisage the secondary school of the future. It will not be a standardized school. American communities will continue to plan and build to meet their local requirements. The school building will be planned to make the curriculum work. It will offer expanded opportunities for learning. It will serve, not a limited number of special minds, but will advance the individual interests of the various types of youth. It will make provision for learning the social arts as well as for growing in physical health and emotional stability. It will be the educational focus of its community serving youth and adults alike. It will become a superior educational and inspirational center for all American youth. This volume has been long in preparation. During three decades many of the Engelhardt students in school administration in Teachers College, Columbia University, participated in discussions and conferences, the results of which appear in these chapters. Architects, with whom the authors have been associated as educational consultants, have raised issues and offered suggestions that have been incorporated here for school building improvement. During the five year period, 1942-1947, N. L. Engelhardt, Sr., as Associate Superintendent of Schools of New York City in charge of'the Division of Housing and Business Administration, supervised the preparation of the New York City Manual of School Planning, modification of which has been included in several chapters. Scores of individuals contributed to the development of this manual. School board members and superintendents of schools and their staffs, who have frequently made valuable contributions to the planning of school buildings in association with the authors as educational consultants, will find many of their ideas incorporated here. Several sections of Volume VII, Planning Guides for San Francisco's School Buildings, prepared by the authors as a part of the twelve volume school building survey report of that city in 1948 have also been modified or expanded for inclusion in various chapters of this book. In their surveys of the school plant of cities in all parts of the United States, the authors have discovered unusually excellent characteristics of high school buildings, recording of which here has been felt worthwhile for future planners.
