Strana 131 - Contract, then this obligation shall be void; otherwise it shall remain in full force and effect, subject, however, to the following conditions: 1.
Strana 69 - ... this relative amount of space. You say this is impossible in cities. Then transport all the children above the third grade into the country and back each day, free of charge and see that it is made possible. One hour each day, whenever weather permits, should be spent at play, and all children should take part as in their lesson work. Of course I know the objection will be made immediately that this is a visionary and impossible scheme. I reply, that child-nature and its nurture demand nothing...
Strana 11 - ... other surrounding circumstances of each individual room. The color of the ceiling of a schoolroom is fully as important as the color of the walls, particularly when there is any amount of reflected light.

It should be balanced by providing a large outlet for foul air, at the floor level and near the stove. This foul air outlet may be a small fireplace; or a large pipe going into the...
Strana 72 - An honest day's work well performed is not a bad sort of prayer. The cry goes forth often nowadays, "Abolish poverty!" but fortunately this cannot be done ; and the poor we are always to have with us. Abolish poverty, and what would become of the race? Progress, development, would cease. Consider its future if dependent upon the rich. The supply of the good and...
Strana 6 - There is a wide difference of opinion among teachers as to the value of formal grammar and its relation to composition.
Strana 43 - Sewing machines should be placed so that the light will fall over the left shoulders of the pupils using them.
Strana 11 - ... with white walls, and sent elsewhere to school or kept at home, where the walls are tinted. The principal color of the walls should be of an even tone, so that the amount of light reflected will be the . same from all parts of the surface, as waving or clouded effects are very trying to sensitive eyes.
