V \ 0\ PREFACE. To suggest better plans for sclioolliouses, to prevent waste of money on improperly constructed houses, when properly constructed houses can be erected in many cases at the same or slightly increased cost, to make it easy and inexpensive for school officers to secure these better plans, I have had pre- pared by Messrs. Barrett & Thomson, well-known architects, the subjoined revised, enlarged and improved plans for one, two, three, four, and six-room schoolhouses. The first pam- phlet of plans for schoolhouses was issued in 1903. This pamphlet contains changes and improvements suggested by eight years' experience. Accompanying the plans will be found blank detachable contracts, full printed specifications, and carefully prepared bills of material for each house, to- gether with cuts and floor plans of the same. If larger work- ing plans for these buildings are desired, blueprints can be procured at small cost from Messrs. Barrett & Thomson, Raleigh, N. C. In this revised edition will be found also plans for dormi- tory buildings suitable for rural high schools and farm-life schools, also plans for sanitary toilets. These plans have been prepared in accordance with modern principles of ventilation, light and sanitation. Full explana- tions of each plan by the architects will be found in this pam- phlet. It will be seen that some of the plans have been so arranged that larger houses can be evolved from the one-room house if the enlargement of the district or increased popula- tion and attendance should later require the enlargement of the schoolhouse. (See under Cost, last page.) Any num- ber of these pamphlets can be procured, free of cost, by appli- cation to the State Superintendent. Very truly, J. Y. Joyxee..

(SCHOOL LAW, SECTION 4124.) SCHOOLHOUSES, BUILDING AND APPROVAL OF : CONTRACTS FOR. TllG building of all new sclioolhouses shall be under the control and direc- tion of and by contract with the County Board of Education. The board shall pay not exceeding one-half of the cost of the same out of the fund set aside for building under section four thousand one hun- dred and sixteen, and the school district in which any schoolhouse is erected shall pay the other part, and upon failure of such district to provide its part by private subscription or otherwise the board is directed to take it out of the apportionment to that district. But the board shall not be authorized to invest any money in any new house that is not built in accordance with plans approved by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction. All contracts for buildings shall be in writing and all buildings shall be inspected, received and approved by the County Superintendent of Public Instruction before full payment is made therefor. PLANS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLHOUSES WITH EXPLANATIONS, SPECIFICATIONS, BILLS OF MATERIAL AND ESTIMATES OF COST. It is not economy, but, instead, impractical and unbusiness- like, to build cheap, unsanitaiy sclioolliouses, in which the children are not surrounded by the very l:)est conditions of health. The building should be substantially and warmly built, with solid brick foundation, double walls and floors. With- out warm floors, feet are sure to be cold, and this kee|)s the children from studying and progressing as they should. For the smaller buildings brick piers may be used, and the space between same tightly boarded up with tongued and grooved flooring or ceiling. The extra cost of the materials required for the solid brick walls, double walls and floors, above the cost of piers and single walls and floors, will be more than oft'set by the saving in fuel and the increased com- fort to the pu])ils. All schoolrooms should be well lighted, heated, and venti- lated. When the room is bright and attractive and the air pure, the pupils are always bright and attentive, and the teachers can do better work. With a poorly lighted room and bad air, the pupils are dull, inattentive, and irritable. Each building should be provided with an entrance vesti- bule, or hall, as a protection against cold draughts in the schoolrooms. The schoolrooms should each have an ample coat-room, with a door from vestibule, or hall, and also one from the schoolroom, so that the teacher can have perfect con- trol over the room at all times. It would be hard to imagine a more unsanitary condition in a schoolroom than would be caused by the steam and gases arising from the drying of a lot of damp and not always cleanly outer garments. This should be avoided by placing all coats and wraps in the sepa- rate coat-rooms. PLAXS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLHOUSES. DCaiG/1 PLA/1 no 1 BAQCCTT «i-T/-P/\59^ RALEIQM. /T. C. Design No. 1. Plan No. 1. PLANS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLHOUSES. 7 A lunch closet, with lock and key, should be provided in each coat-room. The accompanying plans have been prepared especially to meet the growing demand for better and more attractive school buildings for the country districts of the State of ISTorth Carolina. SITE FOR A SCHOOL BUILDING. The selection of the site for the school building has much to do wnth the hygienic condition of the school. If possible, the location should be high and dry. Marshes or springy land should not be used. Dampness is calculated to foster such diseases as diphtheria, typhoid fever, consump- tion, and rheumatism. Breathing a damp atmosphere will often cause langour and headache. The site should be as naturally attractive as can be found without going outside of the prescribed limits. The school building should, if possible, be located on or near our public highways, where the school building can be seen by the passers-by. When its doors are closed, and the voices of the children are not heard,. the building itself will stand as a silent sentinel for the cause of public education. The earth taken from the excavation for foundation should be graded under and around the building in such manner as to carry the surface water away from the walls. The size of the building will be governed by the present or probable needs of the district in which it is to be built. Where a one-room building will answer for present needs, build the one-room schoolhouse, plan I^o. 1 of the accompany- ing designs. When more room is required, a second room can be added, which will give the two-room building, plan Xo. 2 C. When still further enlargement is found necessary, a third room and tower can be added to plan ISTo. 2 C, giving the arrangement shown by plan and design No. 3. Where a more ornamental one-room building is required, build room A, plan No. 2, and tower. Room B can be added at any time, .3 PLANS FOE PUBLIC SCHOOLHOUSES.

Only a slight change in the construction will be required in making the additions above mentioned, and very little material lost. Plans and designs No. 2 A and No. 2 B show two-room buildings, of different arrangement and appearance, which should be built complete. Plans and designs numbered 3 A, 3 B, and 3 C give a choice in three-room buildings, both in arrangement and ap- pearance. A very attractive building has been made by building a gable over the front center projection, plan No. 3 C, in place of the hipped roof shown, and using the tower shown with designs- Nos. 2 and 3. Plan and design No. 4 show a compact four-room building, with classrooms all on one floor. Plan and design No. 5 show the same number of classrooms on two floors. Plan and design No. 6 show a two-story, six-room build- ing, with classrooms on two floors. Plan and design No. 6 A show a building with three class- rooms on the first floor and an auditorium and library on the second floor ; when additional room is required an extra class- room can be added on the rear, as indicated by dotted lines. Plans and desigTi No. 7 show a girls' dormitory for county high schools. The first floor, in addition to bedrooms for girls, contains a dining-room to accommodate the twenty occu- pants of the building and an equal number of boys which will be provided for in separate buildings ; a kitchen, a storage and serving room and a cooking laboratory. The second floor contains double and single bedrooms for girls. The cooking laboratory shows an arrangement of equipment suggested by the best authorities. The tables are placed around three sides of a square with an open space in the center for the teacher and the necessary worktable. The teacher's desk, range, sink, and cupboards are conveniently located on the outside walls of the room. 10 PLANS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLHOUSES. Design No. 3. RACCiCTT 6- TMO/A5CV~l Plan No. 3.

Plans and design ]\o. 8 show a one-story two-room dormi- tory to accommodate four boys, two boys in each room. One or more buildings can be erected as the growth of the institu- tion may demand. COST OF BUILDIXG. The cost of the buildings illustrated will vary greatly, owing to the difference in the price of labor and materials in different sections of the State, the distance materials will have to be hauled, and the ability of the contractors bidding to handle the work economically. They will cost no more than poorly arranged buildings of the same -size and construction. In comparing contract prices with the cost of buildings already erected, it will be well to examine carefully the speci- fications and working drawings, and note the materials and construction called for. The two-story buildings will cost less than the one-story buildings with the same number of rooms. The classrooms shown are planned to use standard school desks of the following dimensions : ^ r^ ^ ' P ■s "c3 o o O o nee of Desk t, Measuring Back to Bac J3 th Dbl. and Sep.

JoYNER, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Raleigh, N. C. Dear Sir : — At your request we have carefully ex- amined several systems of beating and ventilation for the purpose of ascertaining, as best we could, the system that in our opinion would be most satisfactory and best adapted in all respects for the public schools of this State, and especially for use in the schoolhouses built in accordance with the State plans. We have examined and applied the scientific tests to plants installed in schoolrooms by the two systems that we considei'ed, after investigation, the best, one of which was the Waterbury System, manufactured by the Water- man-Waterbury Company. We recommend this system as the best that we have been able to find for the public schools of this State, after careful examination into the merits of various systems, and after these personal ex- aminations and tests of the best systems in the country. We are satisfied that the adoption and installation of this system of heating and ventilation in the schools of the State will greatly contribute to the comfort, the health, the discipline, and the intellectual activity of the children. Very truly yours. W. S. Rankin, Secretary State Board of Health. Frank K. Thomson, Chas. W. Barrett, Architects for State School Plans. (Illustrations of this heater are found elsewhere in this book.) DESCRIPTION OF WATERBURY SYSTEM. The Waterbury System consists of a small furnace sur- rounded by a heat-proof casing with one flue measuring 12 X 12 inches, inside measurement, which serves for carrying off both the smoke and the foul air. The casing consists of four layers of material. A special process electroplating steel is used for the outside. Deeply corrugated bright tin with continuous air spaces extending from top to bottom form the powerful heat-reflecting inner walls. The double metal walls with double layers of asbestos and air spaces between make the casing as nearly heat-proof as possible. 4 16 PLAISrS FOE PUBLIC SCHOOLHOUSES. Design No. 2 B. PLA/S y^-z-o £v»iEpeT T & T/«0'"\50/N Plan No. :> B. PLANS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLKOrSES. 17 The furnace is placed in the corner of the room out of the way and about 15 inches from an outside wall. A fresh-air duct leads directly from the hottest part of the furnace through the casing and through an opening in the wall of the building. Thus the fresh air has direct access to the hottest part of the furnace. The chimney should be built about 10 feet from the cor- ner in which the plant is to be placed and should have a single flue measuring 12 x 12 inches (inside) and extending to the floor. A register which is furnished with the plant should be placed in the face of the chimney at the floor line for carry- ing out the foul air. (See illustrations in this pamphlet. ) THE OPERATIO]!^ OF THE SYSTE:M. When a fire is started in the furnace the air within the casing becomes heated, and as it is much lighter than the other air in the room, it rises to the ceiling and spreads out over the entire room. To replace the air that has just arisen from the casing, a large volume of fresh air rushes in through the large pipe leading from outdoors into the casing. This air is deflected upward and around furnace by means of a patented intake. As the casing is practically heat-proof, the air within it is very quickly and thoroughly heated, and the foregoing process continues. As the air at the ceiling gradually cools it settles toward the floor, carrying the foul air with it. The foul air is drawn otf through the ventilating register into the chimney, where the patented chimney attachment prevents its acting as a check on the furnace draft. The remainder of the cold air is drawn up into casing, heated and recirculated. The warmer fresh air from above settles down to take its place. This process continues, as long as the fire is kept in the furnace. As a result of this action a uniform temperature is main- tained in all parts of the room, and the floors are kept warm. 18 PLANS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLHOUSES. „ixaKvi Design No. 3 A. ARCHITECTS & C/TaiA(EiCR.» Plan No. 3 A. PLANS FOE PUBLIC SCHOOLHOUSES. 19 All pupils in the room, whether near or far from the furnace, receive the same amount of heat. A constant supply of fresh air from out of doors is pro- vided for both teacher and pupils, and the foul air is expelled from the room without any draughts. The air in an ordinary schoolroom is changed about once in every ten minutes. The plant, being placed in a corner of the room, does not take up floor space that could be used for seats, and pupils can be seated within a few feet of it without discomfort. By means of the circulation established the heat usually wasted in overheating the room near the ceiling and in imme- diate vicinity of stove is saved by bringing it in contact with colder corners and the floor, thus warming every part. The apparatus complete is furnished as illustrated, includ- ing foul-air register, fresh-air intake and duct, chimney at- tachment, 10 feet of high-grade smoke pipe. All parts are made of high-grade material, and with ordinary care should last a "lifetime." MATERIAL^ DRAWINGS^, ETC. Following will be found a specification, with bill of ma- terial, for each building. Complete working drawings, consisting of foundation plan, plan of each floor and roof, and four elevations, all drawn to one-quarter-inch scale, with full size and large scale detail drawings fully illustrating the work to be done, can be had by addressing the architects, Barrett & Thomson, Raleigh.

THE SAXITxVRY PEIVY. All j)lans for new schoolhouses must include plans for san- itary privies, as contained in this pamphlet and the construc- tion of these be included in the building contract before approval by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, u.nder section 4124 of the Public School Lav7. The following is taken from the Staie Board of Health Bulletin as the highest authority upon this subject: The requirements of a proper privy are, first, as the name sug- gests, that it should insure privacy and comfort to those who use it ; second, tliat it should prevent pollution of the soil ; third, that it should prevent the possibility of flies, insects, chicliens, dogs, or other animals conveying infection to human beings. The first requirement is essential to health. If it is disagreeable or distasteful in any way, many people are prevented from using the privy as regularly and frequently as they should do, and their health suffers. The second requirement is necessary ; for, if the contents of the privy are disposed of in such a way as to come in contact with the person of human beings, either by their treading on them or touch- ing them with other parts of the body, disease is likely to be spread. Careless disposal of the excreta also contaminates strawberries, let- tuce, celery, radishes and other vegetables eaten raw ; and may also contaminate the hands of those who prepare other vegetables for the table, and thus convey disease. Of course, when the excreta are allowed to get to the water supply, they also contaminate the water for drinking purposes ; and this is an extensive means of spreading typhoid fever especially. The third requirement is the most important, and the one less fre- quently guarded against. Animals will spread the excreta around where they would not otherwise come in contact with the person of human beings, and flies always make a practice of flying from nny sort of filth out of doors between meals to the kitchen and table at meal times of houses which are not carefully screened. THE NECESSARY POINTS IN CONSTRUCTING AND USING PRIVIES. First. The privy should not be ofEensive. If it is, it will be placed at a long distance from the house. Second. The creation of some other more pleasant or harmless odor has no effect whatever in destroying the disease-producing qualities of the contents of the privy. PLAXS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLHOUSES. 77 Third. L'luler ordlitanj circninstaiK-cs it is utterly impossible to disinfect the excreta tlioroughly.* The disinfectant penetrates but a slight distance into the solid matter. Lime does not prevent infection. The flies that gave our soldiers typhoid fever at Chickamauga showed on their feet lime that had been used for disinfecting, but they brought, at the same time, the disease germs that proved so fatal. Fourth. The contents of the privy should he screened absolutely from all possible contact with flies, or other living creatures which might carry the disease. Fifth. The privy box, or space used for excreta, should be venti- lated. Sixth. The privy itself should be tiy-proof and ventilated. Seventh. The privy should be so arranged that one would have to go as short a distance as possible from the house and would not be unnecessarily exposed to observation. Eighth. The privy should be easy to clean and. if possible, its man- agement should be largely in the power of any member of the house- hold. THE NORTH CAROLINA STANDARD PRIVY. Under the direction of the Secretary of the State Board of Health, plans and specifications are being published herewith for the con- struction of a proper sanitary privy, embodying the points necessary to satisfy the above requirements. Every one is advised to have a privy of this sort. There is no excuse for not using this plan when building a new privy. All who can afford to do so should build a privy of this kind in the place of any unsatisfactory privy now ex- isting. * Where the requirements of complete disinfection are serious, as cholera or typhoid, it is possible to accomplish this end under the direction of the physician. A considerable amount of disinfecting fluid must then be used, and sufficient time allowed to insure complete disintegration of solid matter. This necessitates a bad odor to be endured for the whole of this time. Si, SI, Cj Cq S.
