Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ornamentation of School Grounds in Louisiana Louisiana has today scores of magnificent high school build ings and hundreds of attractive and up-to-date rural graded schoolhouses; some few of these high school buildings are set in naturally attractive surroundings, and many of the rural schools are situated in the midst of nature's most beautiful groves. Thus far, however, we have left nearly everything to nature, very little having been done to supplement her gifts, or to adapt the natural planting to the peculiar needs of the school. Many of our most attractive buildings stand, unadorned, out in bare, Open Spaces; by far the majority of the rural buildings are surrounded by stumps, tree tops, etc., or stand in dreary, lone some looking Open spots. Not only do such surroundings fail to add to the attractiveness of the house, but, in many cases, detract much from its natural architectural beauty. The time has come, it would seem, when we are to begin extensive and systematic plans for the ornamentation of our school grounds. We are now spending thousands of dollars annu ally in building for architectural effect; we can surely afford to expend the small amount of energy, practically the only thing re quired in our beautiful climate, necessary to assist nature in set. Ting these buildings off to the greatest advantage. A sightly build ing easily loses half of its beauty unornamented or surrounded by scenes that detract from its attractiveness. Even a poor school house may be made to appeal to the eye by careful ornamenta tion. Practically no expense is necessary to do this.
