Ml I I! SCHOOL Rl II.DING IN PROtiRESS IN STATE There Are Now :KI Buildings, -.alned at $25,fHHI,llll0 I ndcr Construction, in North Carolina. (Br (hp Associated Press.! Raleigh. X. ('.. Jan. 25. North Car olina now is engagisl in a school build ing program, wlilch, when compb'tiil. will add approximately eight hundred new structures at a cost of $2."afN'Hl. (HH. ai-coriling 'o the report of .1. .1. Blair, director of schnolhousc plan ning, made public today. ' The interest of the entire public in providing belter accommodations for their children is phenomenal." stated Dr. E. ('. Brooks, state superintendent of public instruction, in discussing de tails of the report. "The people are engaged in the construction of build ings which. when completed. will cost over $25.0XI.OOO. In KU0 Ibe total valuation of all public school property ill the state was barely $15,- 000,00(1. Tlie old log school houses and the small frame buildings heretofore usad are rapidly disappearing and the peo ple of the country have enthusiasm for education that even tlie lowis ami cities did not have ten years ago. In the place of poorly lighted, poorly equipped sehoolhonses may Is- found today, eight, ' twelve or sixteen room brick buildings with auditoriums, hi nted on the great hiehM! rs that 'nre now spanning tlie Mate. The report shows that during tlic past genera I ion. Hie enure sclinoi plant has been built and then rebuilt a sec ond time. "It is necessary, therefore, in or der to avoid waste to build perma nently, and this is the idea that Ihe people seem lo have in miud.'ommil teemen and hoards of education are showing better Judgment than ever be fore in the selection of sites for their new school buildings. They are se curing sufficient grounds to provide recreation and playground centers for the children and one of the most no ticeable evidences of progress is the care with which buildings are being located. v "The new building erected at Cool eemee, Davis County, is presented in the report as a type or model for in terested citizens to study. It is very clear that the chief purpose of a school building is to provide class room space for pupils, and all other parts of a building are necessarily re luted to the class room. 'Therefore. if one building is so constructed that only fifty per cent ul tlie floor space can be used for class room purposes while another devoted seventy-live per mil. to class room purposes, the cost of the building per class room will Is- fifty per cent, more in the former than in the matte,". "It is verv clear than from twenty- live lo lift v Per cent, of Ibe cost of a building may be saved to the taxpay ers when the people understand that the floor area may be so arranged as to provide n larger per cent, of it for class room uses rather than to haw it cut up into unnecessary hallways, stairways and rooms that cantii.l be used successfully as class rooms. "Of course, provision must be made for cloak rooms and the like. But lie Cooleemee building devotes seventy six per cent, of the floor space to class room uses and provides tor the other necessary features of a good school building. A few buildings have been erected in which Ihe floor space used for class room instruction is less than titty per cent, of the entire floor space. This is such an unwise expenditure that every citizen should study the best plans in order that Ihe greatest advantages may be derived from a fair expenditure." A study of the number of new build ings either completed, under construc tion or planned shows that an average of $30,000 will he spent on each struc ture, according to Dr. Brooks.
