Page 8 - Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so the Lord thy God chasteneth thee. Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills...
Page 9 - Greeks, said he could furnish from his sparsely settled region ' five hundred men, six feet high, with sinewy arms and casehardened constitutions, bold spirits and daring adventurers, who would travel upon a bushel of corn and a gallon of whisky per man from the extreme part of the world to Constantinople.
Page 49 - On the contrary, our public-school system up to the present time has been run on the principle of reserving a school seat for the exclusive use of one child during the entire year. All children have to be in school seats from 9 am to 12 and from 1 to 3, and at 3 o'clock all of them are dismissed and turned out to play. The result is that there are never enough seats for all the children to study in, nor enough playgrounds for them to play in; and yet large sums of money are invested in these facilities,...
Page 22 - The code for the ventilation of public and semi-public buildings adopted by the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers in 1915 has been submitted to the American Engineering Standards Committee for approval as American Standard. This code was prepared by a committee of the American Society of Heating and Ventilating Engineers in response to requests from state commissions, legislative bodies, public health agencies and other organizations for suggestions to be used in the preparation...
Page 67 - Fig. 73. descends into a shallow pit which brings its floor level with the basement floor. There it is substituted for its fellow, all set ready for raising. The manner in which this substitution is effected will be best understood by referring to the section (Fig. 73), and the basement plan (Fig. 74). The platforms are carried from their original position, at right angles to one another, a distance equal to their diameter, on tracks set in the floor of the pit. All this shifting and raising is under...
Page 46 - ... The schools which should be abandoned ultimately are the Ritchie, McKinley, Clay, Jefferson, Center, and Lincoln. This will eliminate the costs of upkeep and outlays for these buildings, which in the year 1920 amounted to $32,842.77. Wheeling has too many small buildings. The larger the buildings, within limits, the richer the facilities that can be given to children; the older and smaller the building, the more expensive it becomes. For example, the per capita cost of the Ritchie School with...
Page 10 - Architecture (1756) that cast iron is 'serviceable to the builder and a vast expense is saved in many cases by using it; in rails and balusters it makes a rich and massy appearance when it has cost very little, and when wrought iron much less substantial would come to a vast sum'.
Page 26 - TOWNS and Civilization are two words for nearly one thing; the City is the manifestation of the spirit of its population and the larger body it builds for its soul. To build cities and live in them properly is the great business of large associations of men. The outward and the made must always be exact pictures of the mind of the makers.
Page 49 - Many similar laws indicate that most of our leading cities will soon meet the playground problem aside from the schools. In Minnesota the State Department of Education has made a rule that no elementary school shall be built upon a plot of ground that affords less than fifty square feet of playground per pupil. One hundred square feet per pupil will be required when conditions make it possible to secure this amount of land.
Page 67 - Geddes' lighting arrangements differ in important respects from those in current use; for though the development of lighting has proceeded more rapidly in the theatre than anywhere else, the equipment on which this development in part depends has not kept pace with the advance. But now that light is coming to be recognised as an emotional language, like music, with power to induce and maintain moods of the soul — this will not do. Light must be made to pale or brighten, it must slowly transform...
