HARRINGTON D. of D. INTRODUCTORY i In preparing this pamphlet, we asked for and received ' the assistance of the Oregon Chapter of the American Institute of Architects; the Department of Art and Archi- tecture of the Oregon Agricultural College; and the Department of Architecture of the University of Oregon. The Oregon Chapter of the American Institute of Architects conducted a competition in which all of the architects throughout the State were invited to participate. We are indebted to Mr. Chester J. Hogue of Portland, chairman of the Competition Committee, for conducting this competition. The details required a large amount of time and work and Mr. Hogue has rendered a valuable service to the State. The plans receiving the awards of the committee are pub- lished in Group A of this pamphlet, pages 13-29. Plans for rural school buildings, including rooms for vocational work, were prepared by the Department of Art and Architecture of the Oregon Agricultural College, under the direction of Mr. L. Eugene Robinson, Professor of Rural Architecture. These plans are published in Group B, pages 30-41. The plans in Group C were prepared by the Department of Architecture of the University of Oregon, under the direction of Mr. Ellis F. Lawrence. Blue prints of the working plans for any building in Group A or C will be sent to any board of directors upon application to this department. To Mr. W. C. Knighton, architect, Portland, Oregon, we are indebted for preparing the specifications. They are made very general so that they may be adapted to the peculiar needs of any community. Owing to the interest aroused through the Oregon plan of standardizing the rural schools, very many districts are building new schoolhouses, or improving their old ones. This department receives letters daily from school officials requesting plans and suggestions for school buildings. In this bulletin we present a number of different types of architecture in order that there may not be a tiresome same- ness in our Oregon buildings. Enough in the way of plans and suggestions are given for the one-room building, so that the school board will not find it necessary to employ an architect. If a larger building than a one-room schoolhouse is to be constructed a competent architect should be employed. Through the plans submitted in this pamphlet, we hope to have throughout the State of Oregon within a compara- tively short number of years a type of rural school building which shall be noted for its beauty of architecture, and the utility of its floor plans having withal an ample and well- equipped playground. It will add very little to the cost of a school building to have it attractive, well lighted, properly heated and ventilated, and surrounded by a large and well-kept playground. Such a school plant will be a valuable asset to any community, and the direct benefit to the children cannot be overestimated. It is the purpose of this bulletin to aid school boards in establishing such conditions. J. A. CHURCHILL, Superintendent of Public Instruction. RURAL SCHOOL BUILDINGS By L. Eugene Robinson Professor of Rural Architecture, Oregon Agricultural College The location of a country schoolhouse is important. Convenience for the greatest number of children comes first, but the size and beauty of the playground, its possibilities, sanitary conditions and practicability must be considered. Good drainage is essential, and shade trees, walks, fences and flower beds give to the building an atmosphere con- ducive to pleasurable school work. The following is quoted from American Schoolhouses : "I know of no class of public buildings deserving of more sincere thoughtfulness and artistic treatment than those school buildings designed to accommodate our children who here spend a great part of their waking hours during their early years. I know of no better opportunity for art leagues to express themselves for civic improvement than by setting themselves the difficult task of offering, to those who have charge of the construction of our country school- houses, artistic and well-adapted plans for their considera- tion. Such plans must be simple, easily followed and they must call for materials within the reach of local markets or conditions. Country schoolhouses are, in the main, built by 'hatchet-and-saw' carpenters who cannot read compli- cated drawings or follow readily the usual forms of specifi- cations. Proportion in such buildings is almost everything, and to secure this end plans ought to be drawn and specifi- cations devised so explicitly that no mistake can be made. No amount of interior decoration will offset the bad effect of exterior ugliness. "If country people are inclined to be careless in the appearance of their schoolhouses and school grounds, and we all know that this is often the case, it becomes a double duty for those who have better taste to exert themselves to place before them better models. Real beauty is not expen- sive. The best things are in reach of us all. Log cabins can be built as satisfying to the artistic sense as palaces, indeed frequently more so. The planning of the one-story, one-room country schoolhouse ought to demand, and will demand, from any capable and conscientious architect, as painstaking consideration as a large city school. In fact, it seems to me that the opportunity for the development and dissemination of taste in this, the central agency for social and aesthetic improvement in the country, ought to appeal with especial interest to all concerned." No matter whether a school building is to contain one room or forty rooms, the problems of lighting, heating, ventilating, seating and coat rooms are very much the same. It is probably not worth while to discuss these here, but each is solved in its place on the drawings. Rural schools should provide not only all of the facilities for general education but also facilities for social gather- ings, domestic science, manual training, agricultural experi- ment work and clay modeling as a branch of art work. As a social center the country school may be made a great factor. When possible an assembly room should be provided or several class rooms be so made that they may be throvni together by the use of sliding partitions. Industrial and cultural education should go hand in hand. DOMESTIC SCIENCE By A. Grace Johnson ONE-ROOM SCHOOL The suggested equipment for Domestic Science in the one-room school is designed to meet the ever present need of the hot school luncheon. In order to meet this need, it has been necessary to make the room used for a lunch room serve a dual purpose. While this is not entirely satisfactory, a study of the plan will show that the problem of ventilation has been carefully considered. The cupboard is to serve as a place of storage for all of the larger utensils needed in the preparation and serving of school luncheons. The counter should have several drawers, to be opened toward the inside. These will be needed for storage of all of the smaller utensils. This counter should have a shelf built in about midway of the legs; this shelf to serve as a place where the children may store the lunch box or pail brought from home. The use of a small kerosene stove for the cooking of foods will be more desirable than using the schoolroom heater, and will save the expense of another flue, which would be necessary if a wood stove were used. EXTENSION OF ONE-ROOM SCHOOL Since the space in this plan is practically double that used in the foregoing plan, it is possible to use this extra space for the arrangement of tables where the youneer children may sit to eat their luncheon. These tables might be the portable type, made from boards on horses, if the space could be profitably used for other purposes at other times. Stools should be provided so that the children will be comfortable during the lunch period. TWO-ROOM SCHOOL The two-room schoolhouse which has a basement furnishes enough space to make more work in Domestic Science possible. The equipment in this plan is designed to not only provide for the school luncheon, both as to preparation and service, but also make it possible for the older pupils to have some practice in other problems. No effort has been made to provide a laboratory, but instead the idea has been to make this equipment suited to the study of problems such as we would meet in the home. The lunch room has a shelf built at one side where lunch boxes may be stored. This is near the entrance so that the child may get the lunch in passing, select his place at the lunch table, and then go on to the pass counter for his hot dish and return to his place without making any extra steps or becoming confused in going around tables. Two built-in wash tubs and an ironing board are an important part of this equipment. Their installation is justified by the fact that they will provide means of caring for all linen and towels used in connection with the school luncheons. They may also be used in the teaching of home laundry problems. Note that the kitchen stove is so placed that the fewest possible steps need be taken to secure fuel. Also note that the ironing board (which fastens to the wall when not in use) is near the stove, thus saving steps, but still so located as to get plenty of fresh air. The space below the pass counter is used for bins and cupboards for the storage of food, for this space would be free from outside dampness. All small equipment may be stored in drawers built under the remaining counter space. The cupboard near the sink, which is built down to the work counter, is for the storage of heavier cooking equip- ment. The other cupboards may be used for lighter equip- ment and also for the dishes used in serving. The dining room, which may be used to teach family service, or when parents or directors are entertained, may be reached through the passage way, thus avoiding passing through the kitchen. The sideboard is intended for the storage of linen, china and silver used in table service. It may also answer for a serving table. It should be placed as in the plan, in order to be convenient to the kitchen sink. The pair of double action doors will make confusion less liable when more than one person is serving. The question of water for dish washing and laundry purposes can be solved by the building of a cistern with a small pump at the sink. THREE-ROOM SCHOOL Very little explanation is necessary for this plan, since it is practically the same as the preceding one, only slight alterations being made to adapt it to a different floor space. Note the shelf for lunch boxes near the entrance of the lunch room, the direction of the lunch tables for convenience in passing, the location of the stove near the fuel, and the use of the center support as a place to fasten the ironing board. In both of the last two plans, a portable table may be a valuable addition in the center of the kitchen. Since this school is planned especially as a social center, the equipment may be made rather complete to answer school purposes and to serve the community as well. MANUAL TRAINING By Frank H. Shepherd In response to the ever-increasing demand for industrial education in our public schools, we have attempted to sug- gest an arrangement of floor space so that woodwork, cabinet work, carpentry, shop drawing, and related work may be provided for in all of our schools. The arrangement of the equipment, benches, cabinets, lockers, recitation seats, etc., are intended to be suggestive. The progressive teacher will make changes to suit the demands of his classes. The suggested equipment has been placed at the minimum for efficiency and will be added to as the work develops. Nothing is said of machinery, saw tables, Spede lathes, band saw, jointer, etc., for the reason that the suggestions are for manual training in the grades and high schools. Should the course be extended into the third and fourth years of the high school, arrangements should be made for prevoca- tional and vocational work. These courses will require machines and machine work as well as additional teachers. The benches, as indicated, are of the single type and should each be supplied with a head and a tail vice. In case there are too many pupils they may be provided for by increasing the number of single benches and placing them in pairs, back to back, as by building double benches. The following lists of tools are suggestive and may be added to as the work develops. The tools for the one-room school will cost approximately thirty dollars. This list should be submitted to the local dealer and prices obtained. The estimated price for the tool equipment for fifteen pupils and the teacher is one hundred and seventy-five dollars. This does not include the cost of benches, cabinets, etc. The Oregon Agricultural College will furnish blue prints, specifications, estimates, etc., for benches, lockers, and cabi- nets for any school that may desire such assistance. In case any school board in the State of Oregon desires a per- sonal conference, we will arrange for an expert to visit the district and assist in any way possible in installing their work.

This will be returned after the approval of the contract and bond executed by the successful bidder. Bond and Guarantee — The contractor shall furnish a Surety Company Bond in amount fifty per cent of the contract with the additional obligation that such contractor will make prompt payment to all persons furnishing him labor or materials used in the construction of the work. Payments — Payments will be made at the rate of eighty per cent of the amount of labor performed and materials furnished. The remaining twenty per cent will be paid thirty-five days after the building is completed and accepted, with the exception of the sum of $ , which will be retained thirty days longer to cover any errors or defects that may develop in the contractor's work and will need repairs or replacing. Architect and Superintendent of Construction — The architect and his superintendent shall have free access to all parts of the work during construction. The work shall be executed under his direction and to his entire satisfaction. He may, by written notice, require the contractor to dismiss such foreman or workman as he may deem abusive, careless or incompetent. He may also require the contractor to remove from the premises such materials or workmanship as do not conform to the terms of the specifications. The Contractor — The general contractor shall have charge of the premises during the construction. He shall provide all necessary guards, fences, lights, etc., for the safety of the public, and maintain same during the continu- ance of the work. He shall keep the abutting streets, side- walks and other thoroughfares open for traffic and abide by all building laws. When improper material or workmanship has been ordered removed by the architect or his superintendent, the contractor will substitute without delay, satisfactory mate- rial and workmanship and make good, at his own expense, any work disturbed by such change. He is to give his personal attention to the work. He shall appoint a com- petent foreman with full authority to act in his stead in all matters relating to the work; said foreman to be con- stantly on the work during regular working hours. The contractor shall cover and protect his work from injury by frost, rain or other causes; shall repair any such injury; shall make good any defects, omissions or mistakes in the work within the time required in the contract, and in any notice so to do, signed by the architect or his superintendent, and given to the contractor or mailed to him at his business address stated in his proposal. The contractor will use diligence in preventing injury to the work of other contractors. He is to work in harmony with them and as far as consistent to their advantage. Each contractor shall be held responsible for damage to the work of others due to the carelessness or negligence of himself or workman in his employ. The contractor agrees that he will comply with the provisions of the Labor Law and also Chapter 3 of Laws of Oregon for the year 1911, and any other law enacted since. He further agrees that no laborer, workman or mechanic in the employ of the contractor, subcontractor, or any other person doing or contracting to do the whole or part of the work contemplated by the contract, shall be permitted or be required to work more than eight (8) hours in any one calendar day, except in cases of extraordinary emergencies caused by fire, flood, or danger to life or property. The contractor shall, as far as possible, in the performance of this contract, give preference to local labor. Damage to Persons or Property — The contractor hereby assumes all liability for the death of or personal injuries sustained by the workman in his employ and shall elect to abide by the provisions of Chapter 112, Lavs^s of 1913, as amended by Chapter 271, Laws of 1915, known as the Workman's Compensation Act. The contractor also assumes all liabilities for personal injury or property damages sus- tained by the public, or any member thereof, due to the failure of the said contractor to provide proper safeguards about the works during the time of construction, or through defective apparatus, material or workmanship, or through the carelessness of himself or his employes, and shall take out at his own expense, a polciy in some established liability insurance company to cover such public liability. Subcontractors — The contractor shall not assign or sub- let the work or any part thereof to other contractors or workmen, unless with the consent of the architect in writing. Drawings — The architect shall furnish the contractor with two sets of drawings and specifications and one set of detailed drawings. All drawings, specifications and details are the property of the architect and are to be care- fully used and returned to the architect's office before the final payment will be made on this contract. He shall be held pecuniarily responsible for loss or damages to the specifications while in his possession. Drawings are to be kept constantly at the building for reference. The draw- ings, writings, interlineations, figures and details are to be considered a part of, and as illustrating these specifica- tions. The contractor shall follow figured dimensions in preference to scale measurements in all plans and drawings. Large detailed drawings are to take precedence of scale drawings. Modifications — The contractor, or his representative, shall make no alterations or corrections in the drawings or specifications. Should there by any discrepancy in the drawings, specifications or details, or should any question arise as to the true intent and meaning in any particular in said drawings and specifications, the matter in question shall be referred to the architect for correction or inter- pretation. His decision thereon shall be final and binding. Should it appear that the work intended to be done, or any matter relating thereto, is not sufficiently explained in said drawings or in said specifications, the contractor shall apply to the architect for such further drawings or specifi- cations as may be necessary, and shall conform to the same as if a part of the original work. Material and Labor — The contractor shall provide all material and labor, apparatus, utensils, scaffolding, water, etc., necessary to the complete and substantial execution of everything shown, described, or reasonably implied in the drawings and specifications.

At the com- pletion of the work, the contractor shall remove all waste materials from the premises and deliver the work in a whole and undamaged condition without exception. Changes and Extra Work — The owner reserves the right under this contract to make changes from time to time during the progress of the work, provided no changes shall be made without a written order from the architect and countersigned by the owner, setting forth the nature of the work performed or omitted and the materials furnished or omitted, together with the amount allowed or deducted therefor. Provided, that no bills or accounts shall be allowed or paid for alleged extra work by the owner unless the material furnished or labor performed on which such claims based has been ordered by the owner in writing prior to the performance of such labor or delivery of such material with the amount allowed or deducted for such extra work or deduction endorsed in such order. Temporary Enclosures — If directed to do so, enclose all doors and window openings with shiplap, with doors hinged so that building can be closed up. Term Contractor — Terms "contractor" or "owner" above employed are to be construed in their meaning in which either of them may be one or more individuals, male or female, or even a corporation. Aivard — The owner reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals presented. GENERAL CONSTRUCTION SUGGESTIONS Surveying — It is considered advisable in all cases to have a survey made of the contour of the ground so that estab- lished ground and grade lines may be shown upon the drawings. Excavations — To be determined by the size of the build- ing and contour of the ground. The question of grading and filling, or removing the dirt from the premises, to be considered by the building committee. Drain Tile — If the location of building and the depth of foundation require the use of field drain tile, it is suggested that when put in place it be covered with two inches of straw and followed by the placing of loose gravel to within eight inches of the top of ground. Tile to be graded to a desirable distributing point. Concrete and Brick Work — If it is found desirable to use concrete for foundation work, it is suggested that same be mixed in a proportion of one part cement, three parts clean, sharp sand, and five parts clean gravel or crushed rock that will pass through a two-inch ring. If the outside walls are to be plastered, use one part cement to two parts clean, sharp sand, and apply to a thickness of one-quarter inch, having the surface well floated down. The wooden forms to receive the concrete work are to be substantially built, to be well braced and kept plumb and true at all times. If cement floors or walks are to be installed, use a four-inch bed of concrete of the same proportions mentioned for the walls, but to be finished with a three-quarter inch coat of cement mixed in a proportion of one part cement to two parts sand. The floor finish to be made smooth and graded to drains. The sidewalks to be blocked off in thirty- inch squares and left with rough finish. Cement — The cement used to be strictly fresh and a satisfactory manufacturers' test to be presented to the con- tractor by the selling agent. The cement is to be stored in a dry and well ventilated place. Brick Work — If it is found desirable to use brick for foundation work, they should be of a good, hard-burned quality, laid in good lime mortar having cement to six parts mortar, and to be laid in the usual manner. The question of cementing the outside walls to be given consideration. The flue is to be plastered for the full heighth of same, and on the outside from the foundation to the rafter line. The use of terra cotta flue lining should be given consideration. For construction purposes a more detailed specification covering the above work is necessary. Lathing and Plastering — If it is found desirable to plaster the interior of the building, will suggest the use of some standard brand or patent plaster to be applied three- quarter inch in thickness, having a white finish coat. The lath should be three-eighths by one and one-half inches sound fir and to have joints broken every seventh course. Carpenter Work — No. 1 Common Grade Oregon fir should be used for all framing lumber required, and selected common grade fir for all structural posts and girders. If rustic is used for enclosing the building, it should be No. 1 grade VG fir. Flooring should also be the same grade of material. If shingles are used on the walls of the building, will suggest that a good grade of water-proof building paper be placed between the wall sheathing and shingles and that the shingles be clear grade, having five butts to two inches, and that the same be secured with galvanized shingle nails. The roof shingles to be of same quality and laid not to exceed four and one-half inches to the weather. If it is desired to ceil the interior walls and ceiling of rooms, will suggest the use of No. 2 grade and better eleven-sixteenths by three and one-quarters inches V jointed fir material, having the wall surfaces laid vertically and of full length material from the chalk shelf to the ceiling. This material may be used as received from the mill, or at a slight additional expense, can be mill sand-papered. The building committee should give consideration to the character and operation of window sashes, the character of doors desired and the general materials for interior and exterior work, the character of chalk shelves and blackboard material, the finishing hardware and all minor items neces- sary to make the building complete. Painting Materials — The very best of white lead and boiled linseed oil and colors ground in oil should be used for all painted work. The question of the use of shingle stain or lead and oil paint for the roof or wall shingles should be given consideration by the building committee. Metal work should first have one coat of red lead and oil or princess metallic paint. Heating — The size of building will determine the char- acter of heating installation. If stoves are used, it is recommended that the surrounding woodwork be protected by asbestos pad fully three-quarters of an inch in thickness and that careful attention be given to the size of the brick flue opening, also to see that the brick work does not come in contact with the wood framing by at least two inches. If a heating and ventilating system is used, consideration must be given to the many requirements in connection with the use of same. Page Twelve Plumbing — The size and location of the building would determine the char- acter of sewerage disposal. Considera- tion should be given the use of a septic tank, cistern or connections to sewer. Lighting — If electric current is obtainable, this method of lighting is preferable. Careful attention must be given to the wiring installation of the building and the fixtures to be used. It is recommended that the form of contract adopted and recommended for general use by the American Institute of Architects and the National Associa- tion of Builders be used. This is referred to as "The Uniform Contract." The blank form may be secured from your local book dealer or from the J. K. Gill Company, Third and Alder Streets, Portland, Oregon. GROUP A-ONE.
