Science Teacher Proposes Windowless Schoolhouses
Thomas A. Backus, a natural science instructor at St Peters burg Junior College, argues in a Florida State University study that windowless classrooms with enhanced lighting and air conditioning could reduce construction and maintenance costs. He says such schools would offer more wall space for chalkboards and equipment, lessen distractions, and could serve as fall out shelters during atomic attacks. He notes living spirit inside a lively classroom could survive confinement, and favors concrete floors block walls and galvansized roofs with some drawbacks on insulation and appearance.

Light soils in Florida grow more acidic over time
Florida researchers note light soils in humid regions naturally acidify with time, especially after heavy summer rains. Leaching removes calcium magnesium and potassium, nutrients crops rely on, intensified by high fertilizer use. Liming neutralizes acidity, improves nutrient availability, fertilizer efficiency, and soil biotic activity, supporting crop and livestock production.
