Recommendation in Regard
to the Improvement of
School Grounds .
By Dr. Henry S. Curtis
SIZE OF GROUND
According to the recommendation of
the committee on minimum essentials
for rural schools of the N. E. A., no
one-room rural school should be built
on less than throe acres of ground, and
this minimum may well bo adopted in
all sections where such an area of suit
able ground can be secured. For the
larger 'schools of five to twelve rooms,
from seven to ten acres should be se
cured in order that there may be room
for playgrounds, gardens, and a small
school park.
In place3 where the school ground is
adjacent to a good sized village, the
ball fields, volley ball, basket ball, base
"bull and tennis grounds, ns well as the
school park may well be used by the
community ns well as by the school.
NEED OF A PLAN
The prssent school grounds of the
Territory have grown like "Topsy."
From a small beginning of one-half
acre, they have often increased by suc
cessive enlargements to 6 or 7 acres
in size, and trees have often been
planted along the edges of successive
acquisitions of grounds. Beginning
with a one-room school, other rooms
have beeu added until there are now
from eight to ten rooms. These build
ings have been located on a site with
out any apparent reference' to the effi
ciency of the ground as a whole or to
the general architectural effect.
Probably sites of the schools of the
Territory of Hawaii have greater
scenic advantages than almost any
other school sito3 in the world, as they
have, in most cases, a splendid view
both of the sea and the mountains;
and, in some cases, of beautiful valleys
as well. These scenic opportunities,
however, have not been emphasized
in the laying out of the grounds and in
the location of the buildings, and,
frequently a building or row of trees
have been run across a view which
could scarcely be equalled anywhere
else In the world. ,
The trees which have been planted
have, in general, been poorly selected
and poorly arranged, and have oft
timesbeen planted where they obscur
ed a splendid view or prevented play.
The gardens ofton occupy the sites
that should be devoted to play and the
grounds have never been leveled or
terraced 30 as to give a good appear
ance or to make them efficient for play
purposes.
Before any site is built on, a careful
plot of the ground should be prepare' ,
showing the location of the building.,,
the gardens, play fields and the tree:.
The trees should be selected and plant
ed in accordance with a plan prepared
by the department of education, for,
as now planted, they are poorly select
ed, poorly placed and, in general, are
too close together.
Such a plan should be prepared be
fore any new school buildings arc
erected or old buildings enlarged, and
before the old and scattered buildings
are replaced by concrete modern build
ings, GRADING
AH regular baseball and football
fields are leveled, as aro also all ath
letic fields of colleges and universities,
but, almost the only grounds on the
Islands that I hive seen that have been
put in condition for play are those of
certain schools. However, there is no
possibility of having satisfactory
games of baseball, football, basket
ball, volley ball or tenni3 on grounda
that are full of holes, with projecting
stones or steep inclines. Before most
of the school grounds can be at all
satisfactory for play, they must be
leveled either to a single level or in
terraces.
The plantations have the equipment
and the men for grading . school
grounds inexpensively and quickly.
Especially in cases where the ground
is to be utcd by tae community a3 will
as the children, ard perhaps, in ail
case, th'jy may b,; interested either in
doing this or In help'.rg. In some cases
they have already effei-ou to do this.
Recreation is one ot the large item in
the welfare plan which is now beir.g
inaugurated by the planters, and they
should always bo interviewed on this
subject.
GRASS
The Islands are fortunate in that
theyhave at least two kinds of grass
which will stand a largo amount of
wear and use without being destroyed.
These are the "Manienie" or Bermuda
grass and the Buffalo grass. One of
these should be grown on all school
grounds so far as possible.
With larger school grounds, how
everthere will inevitably be a prob
lemarising from the growth of grass
and weeds upon the ground. There are
two possible methods of dealing with
this problem: ono, by having machine
lawn mowers or mowing machines,
which might to kept in use constantly
by being taken from school ground to
