Synopsis
Excerpt from Open Air Crusaders: A Report of the Elizabeth McCormick Open Air School, Together With a General Account of Open Air School Work in Chicago and a Chapter on School Ventilation
Eskimo suits which were guaranteed to attract the attention and arouse the interest of the most indifferent reader. This definite demonstration of the remarkable effects which the fresh air treat ment brings about in sick children set people in general, fathers and mothers, as well as teachers and doctors, to wondering what would be the results of similar treatment upon well children. As a result of the general public interest, the Board of Education of the City of Chicago on December 29, 1909, voted to establish twenty open window rooms in the Graham school, where the experiment had been under way in two rooms since September. On September 10, 1910, orders came from the superintendent's office to open all the windows in all the public schools of the city at least three times a day. The twenty thousand windows were opened.
