Playroom
In stormy weather and in winter time when children can not get outdoors they should get exercise indoors. In practically every home a room could be fitted up as a playroom or nursery. It need not be elaborate and could be a bedroom used for a playroom during the day. This room should be well lighted and not kept too warm. The right temperature is about 55° F. Since an abundance of light is necessary the room should not be on the north, for the direct rays of the sun are to be desired and some provision should be made to admit them. All drafts must be avoided, yet a sufficient amount of air must be admitted so as to prevent the air from becoming vitiated. The best method of accomplishing this is by means of ventilators placed in the windows. Occasionally the doors and windows should be opened and the room thoroughly aired. This should be done while the children are absent from the room.
The furniture in the playroom should be substantial and of such a character that it can easily be cleaned and kept in a sanitary condition.
