ROOFS OF CITY HOUSES.
A 1‘byslrlwD Recommends That the House¬
tops Be Turned Into Playgrounds.
Dr. Gouveraeur JL Smith has contri¬
buted to a recent number of The Medical
Record an interesting and suggestive
paper. The main point of this article is
that by neglecting to make the roofs of
tho houses places of safety and pleasantly
habitable, New Yorkers miss the best
and ruoet readily available opportunity
open to them of enjoying fresh sunshine
in moderate weather and fresh and com¬
paratively cool air during the sweltering
neats of summer.
Dr. Smith describes the state of things
which all New Yorkers know when he
speaks of the "dark closet with precipit¬
ous ladder leading to the scuttle, rarely
entered and ascended except by work¬
men to repair the roof." in a private
dwelling of the smallest size habitually
built on this island, the roof has an area
as large as that of tlie yard, immeasur¬
ably better lighted and aired, playground and intrin¬
sically a far better place as a
for children or a resort for adults in
pleasant or in oppressively ■ Lot weather.
That is to say, in the houses most favor¬
ably circumstanced for light and air, one-
half half of the available breathing space of
tie city, excluding the streets, is abso-
lutely wasted. In the more expensive
and extensive dwellings the case is
worse, because the yard is contracted as
the house is extended, until in moot cases
it amounts to little more than an air
shaft, and is not available at all os a
place of recreation.
In the tenement houses the case is far
worse. Nobody who has ever visited the
back yard of one in the more populous
quarters of the city would ever there¬
after think of it as a playground or for a
breathing space or a place of resort
rest and refreshment Yet the choice
for these purposes is practically between
this place, one-third the area of the
house, and the street, while the house¬
top, three times as large as the yard and
in every respect more eligible, is abso¬
lutely wasted, so far as concerns and enjoyment any pre¬
cautions taken for its use
by the * builder, who nevertBelesa prides
himself upon his economy of room.
It is no wonder that Dr. Smith asks
whether"architectural ingenuity, coached
by sanitary science,” cannot “contrivo
some method of using the thousands of
acres of housetops on this island so that
roofs can be made additionally useful at
certain seasons by affording outdoor rec¬
reation and protection from invalidism.”
Really it seems as if architectural inge¬
nuity had been exerted in the opposite
direction, for there is no difficulty in the
way of achieving this result New York
is already a flat roofed city. All that is
absolutely needed to convert its roofs into
the pleasantest f parts of the house after
the sun goes down in summer, and while
the sun is up during the spring and au¬
tumn, is perhaps slightly to increase
their structural strength, to cover them
with some material that shall be practi¬
cable as a pavement, to provide decent
and comnbdious access to them by con¬
tinuing to the [roof the main stairway of
the house, and to provide a parapet that
will obviate any danger of falling by
children or careless persons. Tho cost of
all this is not worth counting in com¬
parison to the benefits to be derived from
it.—New York Times.
Our Country Schoolhoases.
Are we a civilized people? Of course
the answer depends upon the definition
that Is given to civilization. Judging by
our country schoolhouses there is a
chance for several degrees of advance
before we reach high civilization. Gar¬
den and Forest lias sot out to reform oui
schoolhouso surrounding. In the west
this reform is far less needed than in the
east. But if there be anywhere hideous
little toad like structures, set out in un-
. .drained spots of waste land, it is the old
style schoolhouso. It ought in all cases
to be placed in a snug little park, child's sur¬
rounded by abundant shade. A
most important teachers are trees, flow¬
ers, brooks, hills and valleys and other
objects in nature. These are the real
character builders. If you wish the
beautiful to grow in your children, sur¬
round them with beautiful sights and
sounds.—Globe-Democrat.
