For this reason, all the doors on the premises should be so secured, that the children cannot swing them backwards and forwards; if they are not, they will get their fingers pinched, or greater accidents may occur.

The forms also should be so placed that the children may not be likely to fall over them.

Every thing, in short, should be put out of the way, that will be likely to occasion any danger.

The seats should not be more than nine inches high; and for the smaller children six inches; and should be eleven or twelve inches wide; and fixed all round to the walls.
The master's desk should be placed at the end of the school, where the class-room is.

By this means he will be able to see the faces of all the children, and they can see him, which is absolutely necessary.
They may then be governed by a motion of his hand.
The _furniture_ necessary for the school consists of a desk for the master; seats for the children; lesson-stands; stools for the monitors; slates and pencils; pictures and lessons on scriptural subjects; pictures and lessons on natural history; alphabets and spelling lessons; brass letters and figures, with boards for them; geometrical figures, &c.; and the transposition-frame, or arithmeticon, as it has been called.
