Facilities constructed with <7 million of the M million dollars in state money made available in lMt should be in use this fall, : according to John Cameron, dir- j ector of school house planning. The projects an which the stqtc money was spent was supple mented by more than 22 million in local money. These new facilities include about 3,600 classrooms, 71 audi toriums, M gymnasiums, 178 lunchrooms, and many others. In spite of this, Cameron esti mated a total of 7,783 more class rooms are needed to relieve over crowding and replace outmoded or substandard units. ? A high birth rate in IM7 and a new scRool entrance ag# adopt ed in 1953 jvill increase the num ber of first graders. 0 C. D. Douglas, controller of the State Board of Education, said the 1947 birth rate jumped about 12,000 over the 194? figare. H# estimated between 8,000 and 9,000 of these children will beoix years old and ready for school this fall. A new regulation allows child ren who are six by Oct. 18 to entee school. The old rule requir ed them to reach six by Oct. 1. This change will bring in an ad ditional 4,000 or 5,(100 children, Doiiftlas predicted. Average daily attendance in the schools was 834,000 last year, an Increase of 9,800 over the year before. With this as a yardstick, Doug las figured average daily attend ance this year should be betweAi 845,000 and 850,000. He estimate^ between 700 and 800 more teach ers than were employed last year will be needed to take care of the increased attendance. O There were 31,810 teachers employed olast year, counting those employed both by the state and by local sources. Those paid t>y the state, excluding vocation al teachers, totaled 29,331. The number employed by thfc state this year will be some over 30,000, but it is impossible to say what the exact number will be, Douglas added. Including those hired by local sources, the teacher force should approach 32,000 this year. The average teacher will re ceive a $3,118 salary. The A certi ficate range will be $2,43Q to $4j 320. The G certificate rarig* will be $2,772 to $3,807. The salaries represent a flat 10 per cent In crease over last Year. Rural children Svill b^ driven to school in 7,053 school buses, about 300 more than lasts year's fleet of 8,741. Seven small high schools which were closed by consolidation last year will be operating again. They were reopened under a law passed by the 1953 Legisla Trade Now ! Save!

So t said I would and proceeded with the unplea sant task. I withdrew the cork from the bottle and poured the contents down the sink with the execption of one glass which I ^ank. I extracted the corfc from the speofid bottle and did likewise with the exception of one glasf, which I drank. I then withdrew the cork from the third bottle and poured the whiskey down the pink which I drank. I pulled the tork from the toftrth bottle dpwjj tfie ptnlf, and poured the bottle (tyvn the glass, which 1 drank. I pulled the bottle from the cork of the next and (frank one s|n^ out of it, and threw the rest jown tba jlass. I gulled the sink out of thp nejct bias* and poured the cork down the bottle. Then I corked the sink with the glass, bottled the <|rink and drank the pour. Wher) I had everything emptied, I Steadied the house with on* hand, counted the glasses, corkf, bottles, and sinks with the other which were 29, and p* the houap came by, I counted them again, and finally bad all the houses In one bottle, which I drank.
