Book excerpt: Excerpt from School Hygiene: Or the Laws of Health in Relation to School Life The importance of the subject here discussed must be evident to all who have bestowed even a cursory attention on the sub jcet of popular education. As a matter of fact, it has engaged the serious attention of School Boards and Committees, and been made the subject of repeated legislation by the Educa tion Department. The result of all this is seen in the improved character of the school-buildings which are everywhere being erected. In these, we find that greater attention is paid, not only to the space demanded for each pupil, to which a few years ago the official legislation was almost exclusively confined, but educationists have come to see that lighting, warming, ventila tion, and general sanitary conditions, are of prime importance in their bearing on the health and progress of the children gathered in these schools. Much still remains to be learnt in regard to these matters, and it is of the highest importance that school-managers and all who are concerned in the erection of school premises - or what is perhaps equally important, the modification of already existing schools - should be well acquainted with the principles which determine the sanitary condition of all school premises and arrangements.
