- Bias
- Children enjoy school
- "The master should be a silent bystander because the system and not the master's vague or uncertain judgement will be in practice."
- Teaching smaller groups
- Possibly less experience
- "The best form for a school-room is a long square, or parallelogram"
- Headmaster should be able to see all sudents
- "pretence for idleness and play", if the "scholars" are "wholly or partly out of the master's sight."
- gives "facility to the master in the detection of offenders"
- There can be no propriety in filling a room with timber when the space is wanted for children. Desks and forms when of a broader surface than actually needful, really occupy that room, which, were they made of proper dimensions, would contain more desks, and consequently more children.
- School-rooms may be warmed by under-ground flues, heated by a stove which will burn refuse cinders or ashes.
- Prevention of cold and flu
- Classes
