With the coming of modern air conditioning, there is more and more tendency toward proper ventilation. The average home, however, can easily be ventilated by opening the windows occasionally and allowing a brisk circulation of air through the rooms. Indeed the ordinary home as now built contains enough chinks, cracks, and space under doors and windows to permit a good deal of fresh air to circulate constantly.

The Settlement of Virginia. In December, 16°6, the London Company sent out from London three small vessels, the Goodspeed (or Godspeed), the Discovery (or Discoverer), and the Sarah Constant (or Susan Constant). These ships were commanded by Christopher Newport, who was an experienced seaman. The three vessels left England for Virginia with 120 prospective settlers, of whom sixteen died on the voyage.

The experiences of Gilbert and Raleigh demonstrated to the English people that colonization was too great a task for individuals to attempt alone. The government, however, was not willing to undertake this enterprise; therefore, English settlement was promoted by means of joint-stock companies.
