Today’s children have to attend school on a shift system in class rooms fashioned from auditoriums, attics and even coal bins, he said. “In 1915 we began this war busi ness.” said Dr. Childs. “We have been at it more or less ever since. Money needed for school houses has been diverted to ammunition or war expenses. Then came the de pression . . “I am ready to teli everyone, even teachers, that we in America are not doing a haifway decent job to I providing schools, buildings, teach ing materials or better salaries.” The speaker added that in Har nett, where citizens recently voted two million dollars for new schoil plants, conditions to other parts of the nation may not be appreci ated, but these conditions, he warn ed. will affect all sections.
