Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Open Air Schools In the year 1904 there were in Charlottenburg, a suburb of Berlin, a large number of backward children who were about to be removed from the ordinary elementary schools to special classes. An examination showed that many of these children were physically debilitated owing to anemia, various ailments in incipient stages and to the results of more serious diseases from which some of them were convalescing. This circumstance offered an ideal opportunity for the co-operation of the educator and the school physician and to meet the need a new type of school was devised. This was the open air recovery school in which sick children were cured and taught at the same time. Such a new departure in school administration could not long remain unnoticed, and in 1908 the London County Council published a description of this educational innovation together with an account of the first English school of the new type. It is from this report that the present descriptions are largely taken. A suitable place for the new school was chosen in a large pine forest on the outskirts of the town. Plain sheds were erected which sheltered the children during the rainy weather. But in the main the school was kept in the open air. Specially skilled teachers were put in charge and no teacher had more than twenty-five pupils. The children reached the school about eight o´clock in the morning. Upon their arrival they received a bowl of soup and a slice of bread and butter. Classes commenced at eight o´clock with an interval of five minutes after every half hour of teaching. Instruction was reduced to the most necessary subjects and never given for more than two consecutive hours.
