1925: On the Geography Classroom

Back in 1925, Miss Celia Evans, from Barry shared her thoughts on how the Geography classroom should be laid out. I'm not sure my current room shares this specification in any aspect other than its aspect: it faces south. I like the requirements: a balcony, plenty of storage for plasticine, plenty of visual spaces - backed with green baize etc. Check out the full specification the JSTOR link.
