 ± PLANS PREPARED BY 
 
 ^~ CLEVELAND, 0. 
 
 j:^_ Cleveland, Ohio, is justly celebrated for its school 
 buildings. The plans prepared by me were awarded th«i 
 first premium by the Paris, Swedish and Austrian Com- 
 missioners at the Centennial Exhibition at Philadelphia 
 in 1876. A school building has been built from those 
 plans in Cleveland, Ohio, and has verified the wisdom of 
 the Commissioners. Every attempt to materially differ 
 from those plans in Cleveland, Ohio, has resulted in 
 failure to properly heat and ventilate the buildings, and 
 necessitated expensive rejjairs. I have taken the plans 
 jof 1876 and made such minor im^Drovements as experi- 
 \enee has shown best, and have, I think, reached as near 
 perfection as can be had in all requisites of a school 
 building, and especially in heating, ventilating and light- 
 ing. I have obtained letters patent of the United States 
 upon my system of ventilating. This system is the 
 result of forty years' experience and study, both in 
 Europe and the United States. 
 
 BPvIEF DESCRIPTION. 
 The plan provides for a building of eight, *- vvelve or 
 eighteen rooms, each room suitable for sixty to seventy 
 pupils. Each room is scientifically calculated in size, so 
 that the proper amount of air is always in the room to 
 meet the wants of the pupils. The heating in connec- 
 tion with my patent system of ventilation is so arranged 
 that the whole space is heated. The heated air is kept 
 in constant circulation and especially about the feet of 
 'the pujjils. There is a constant flow of the foul air out 
 by way of the floor at the rate of three miles per hour, 
 and a constant inflow of fresh air to take its place. 
 This never creates a draft. By actual experiments made 
 during the winter of 1885-6, in thirty school buildings 
 in Cleveland, the school building built upon these plans 
 was the only one showing carbonic acid gas in quantity 
 less than 8-10000 parts, the limit allowable for health. 
 
 OUTSIDE. 
 
 The outside presents a substantial brick or stoiie 
 building, with a half story basement and one story above 
 
for six rooms, and two stories above for twelve rooms, 
 with an attractive hipped roof, giving a large and com- 
 modious attic. 
 
 BASEMKNT. 
 
 The entrances are at each end of the building, two 
 steps wp when you enter the storm house. There being 
 but two steps outside, all trouble with snow, ice and 
 other elements is avoided. By descending a half story 
 you reach the basement. There you enter a hall 28 feet 
 by 74 feet. One large room in the basement is occupied 
 by the boilers, coal rooms, etc. The other five rooms 
 can be used as school rooms if necessary, but are usually 
 and more properly used as play rooms by the pupils. 
 The boiler and coal rooms have their own outside 
 entrances. These basement rooms and hall are as effect- 
 ually ventilated as the upper stories. Starting at the 
 entrance again, by ascending one half story by broad 
 steps you reach the first floor, or the school room floor 
 proper. Here is the hall 29 feet by 58 feet, and the 
 second floor hall, 29 feet by 72 feet, not broken by stair- 
 ways, perfectly heated and ventilated. All Class and 
 Cloak rooms can be regulated by one teacher in each 
 story. On each side of these spacious halls are three 
 school rooms 28x34x14 feet, each with its own cloak 
 room opening both into the hall and school room. 
 These cloak rooms are also jjerfectly ventilated. Each 
 school room also opens directly into hall. These school 
 rooms, in case of fire, can be emptied in one minute, 
 even when filled with pitpils to their utmost capacity. 
 Upon entering from the hall all scholars pass in front of 
 the teacher's desk. The desks for pupils are so arranged 
 that the light comes to the pupils from the left side and 
 back. And this is the case in all school rooms. All the 
 available space on the walls is covered with blackboard. 
 I claim that my plan is superior to all other school 
 houses in the following: The scientific proportions of 
 rooms, Perfect heating, Perfect ventilation. Perfect light 
 for pupils. 
 
 The question on ventilation of school buildings has 
 been seriously looked into, and I call upon the Medical 
 and Technical men that they will find it done well. 
 
 All communications with school committees cheer- 
 fully answered and all proper information given.
