Before throwing up your hands in horror at the prospect of a windowless school in your community —stop and think for a moment:
Where does the wife do the weekly grocery shopping? In an air-conditioned supermarket most likely. Oh, this building may have a bit of glass in the front strictly to satisfy tradition or perhaps for display purposes. But for all practical purposes the building will be windowless. This is because inefficiency costs money and most retail merchants can't afford this luxury. Shortly after World War II new stores were built, also, with the thought that a comfortable customer would be more of a mind to buy, hence airconditioning and comfortable heat levels for all year round. Again, here, windows are strictly for display; they will be difficult to find anywhere except in the front of the building.
Take the example of the typical office building. Very
few parents who work in such modern structures can even remember what unseasonable heat felt like since they have become accustomed to the air-conditioning of their working areas. This again has come about because of extensive studies which show that efficiencij increases with comfort. If this is so with the parent it will be quite likely true in tlie case of the cliild. In fact, educators have known for several decades that there is a close co-relation between comfort and leaming.
Savings in costs of the windowless building as compared to the conventional building will pay for the very important temperature controls which are essential to good educational practice.
