In New York,architects had been invited to send in { plans embracing convenieace of arrangement for school purposos, sécurity azainst fire or facility j for egress, distribution of light, ventilating and heating, drainage and other sanitary features. . : As it was now, there was very little attention I pad to anything more than the providing the | necessary cubic feet of space.

The ! Department of Education had for many years been giving attention to it. In 1870 a sum of $800 was appropriated for the purpose of educat. | .& ing the public mind with regard to this matter. ~ s The following year a large edition of a work on ; school architecture by a British architect was P circulated, Subsequently, a large sum was de-- t voted to publishiny plans, so that in this way t the Department had shown its appreciation of | the importance of the subject. 'The Department also authorized the issue of a work prepared by |¢ Ur. Hodgins, in which the whole question of F school architecture, lighting, heating, and various * 7 sanitary arrangements were discussed in all |I their bearings. 'This work, however, passed into ! the hands of a sma l proportion of the . persons g concerned, and possibly had not effected that i which was expected of it.. The Department, in t 1877, had issued regulations, which would be & found in the School Act of 1878, and the inspec-- "; tors had been instructed to see that these regula-- s p tions were carried out. At the time that Normal Schools were established school hygiene formed | J part of the instructior, and it was intended to yive specific direction to teachers as to how to , take care of the health of the pupils, ventila-- f tion, lighting, heating, and ordinaty conveni--
