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.
