Book excerpt: Excerpt from Design for a City School Building The class room is the fundamental unit of the school-house design. In American practice it is distinguished on the one hand from the recitation room, which has only chairs or settees for the pupils and is used, as its name implies, only for reci tations (or sometimes also for lectures and dictation exercises), and on the other from the general study room, which is found more frequently in Europe than With us, and in which a number of class es, aggregating a hundred or two of pupils, spend the assigned hours of study between recitations. The normal American class room accommodates from 30 to 50 (or rarely up to 60) pupils as fixed desks. In some special or private schools the number in a class room is as low as 25; but economy of administration makes b it desirable that the number should not fall below 30 to 35, while efficiency demands that it should not greatly or often ex esed 40. Each pupil has a desk, and the total floor area should not be less than 18 square feet per pupil, with at least 216 cu bic feet as the minimum cubic volume per pupil. Twenty square feet and 260 feet, respectively, are better figures for all ex cept the lower grades attended by small children. A slightly oh long room, with the teacher's desk at one end, is the best shape. Thus for a 40-desk class room in an upper grade grammar school.
