Excerpt from Modern American School Buildings: Being a Treatise Upon, and Designs for the Construction of School BuildingsThe preparation of this work has been fragmentary in the extreme; the several subjects have been treated at intervals, usually wide apart, extending over a period of twenty years; they have, as a rule, been taken up at moments when the machinery of the office was practically at a standstill, or when some special problem or incident had brought forcibly to my mind the need of radical reforms.The first twelve chapters are here presented for the first time; Chapters XIII and XIV were papers prepared for State Board of Health reports. Chapter XV is composed of the series of papers originally written for Architecture and Building; and the last chapter has recently been compiled to complete this series. The illustrations and designs, with some minor exceptions, are entirely new. Their collection and arrangement in book form was suggested by the constant demand for those that had been published, which could not be supplied.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
