Excerpt from The Hygienic Construction of the Bridgeport High School: A Paper; Prepared for the Third Annual Report of the Connecticut State Board of Health High School, allowing 200 pupils, each pupil will have 17 square feet of space, and 441 cubic feet of air. While the door-space in the High School room is somewhat smaller than the highest authorities require, the cubic contents are largely in excess of the most exacting, and it must be taken into con sideration that this room is seldom occupied by the entire number of pupils for more than a few moments at a time, as the recitation - rooms used in connection with it are, during the school session, in constant use. It should also be remember ed that the number of pupils calculated for each room is their extreme capacity. It is to be hoped that no teacher will be burdened with more than 44 pupils, although I have based my calculations on a larger number.
