To aeoure thh amount l)f air requlra1 for ea.oh pereon an opening not letl thir.o one-11lxth of a aqua.re foot in area, and absolute safety r' q1111ea a atill larger area.. Some fresh a.Ir will find ita wa.y in through era.eke, between window· ea.eh, under and around doora, a.nd even through brick wi>lla ; but tills Is an unonta.ln and 11'&dequa.te ~upply, and openings ahoul d be provuied at convenient placea for this purpose, If provision for the proper ventllatlr n of a house is made a.t the time of its con1tr110tlon, very little expense need be involved ; hence the In p~rta.n<e of giving t}\h ma.tter attention when pl·nnlrg a dw..lllng.

It may be laid down as a. genera.I rule that an opening of twenty-four square Inches' space In beth inlet a.nd outlet ls r< q ulred. for ea.ch Individual in a room, The opev1rga should be of ·nfficlent dze to allow a padsage of at lea.at three thousand ccibio feet of 11olr per hour without crea.ting t oo peroeptl· ble drafts. Air ca.nnot truel tb.rongh a room more rapidly tlla.n five feet a eeccn<i without a current'a being perceptible, A sick-room needa two or tllree times the or· dinary a.mount of ventilation. The foul-a.Ir orenlnga of rooms ahould connect with heated ventilating ~hafts, Cold· i.lr 1hafta a.re uncertain ventilators. They are not to be relied upon, The a.uwunt of draft ln the abaft depond11 upon the height of the shaft and the amount of hea t In It, Various methods of heating t he ventilating shaft may be a.dopted.
