The first essay which is known to have been prepared to expose the evils of school-houses badly constructed, warmed, lighted, and ventilated, was read at a state Convention of the friends of education in Hartford, in 1830; and for nearly 9 years after, five school-houses only in the state are known to have been repaired and built in accordance with its suggestions. The same essay was read and published in Boston in 1831, and was followed by immediate attention to the subject in different parts ...of the state. In 1 838, a new impulse was given to this kind of improvement by Mr. Mann's Report on the subject, and from that time till 1844, the amount of $634,326 was expended for the construction and permanent repairs of school-houses.
