Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concrete School Houses Owing to the monolithic character of the concrete walls and columns and their great strength, large window area is possible. This is particularly true where a reinforced skeleton system is employed and the walls are only a veneer to keep out the elements. Concrete factories have window areas as high as 85 per cent of the total wall area, and it is stated by some owners that the large amount Of light increases their employees' efficiency five to ten per cent. If such an increase is possible in the factory, it will be more than possible in the school-room. Children are very susceptible to their surroundings, and the influence Of a bright, well-lighted room can not help but be for increased efficiency.
