Raleigh, March 3. —School buildings in the rural sections of North Carolina to the value of $18,824,104 have been erect ed during the past four years as 'the result of two loan funds au thorized by the general assembly a third fund of $5,000,000 is being sought by the State department of public instruction. Bills providing for the issuance of bonds to that amount have been introduced in both branches of the general assembly. The senate committee on education, the first to take action, gave a unanimously favorable report on the passage, of the bill. Should this bill pass, it will make ■ a grand total of $15,000.000i Os the first two loans all the money was prompt ly loaned the counties for twenty years, at the same rate of interest the state had to pay for the bunds. The total amount for the borrowing of which the state loaned its credit was $10.00,000. The counties themselves added $8,825,- 000 for the erection of buildings contain ing not less than five rooms and modern in every respect. The third issue would be negotiated on the same principle. Already, there are many applications on file for loans from this fund, and the total amount i expended in schools would be. estimating | the amount on previous records, about f nine and a half millions, i Since 1921, according to data furnish | ed by State Superintendent A. T. Allen, i new school buildings erected in North i Carolina have involved a total exypendi | ture of $35,537,403. The total num ber of buildings erected was 724, and 7,283 class rooms, at an average cost | per class room of $4,879. The acreage i building cost $49,083. These, figures 1 pertain to the state as a whole. As to the expenditure of money de i rived from the two $5,000,000 loan J funds, there have been erected from their i proceeds 553 rural school buildings, at i an average cost per building of $34,041 ! and per class room of $3,732. These l buildings contain 5,044 class rooms. I Thus, it is seen, points out State Super, | intendent Allen, that schools and class , rooms cost less on the average when i built from this fund than the average [ for the state as a whole cost, i There have been 518 buildings ereet -1 ed from loan funds for white children, | costing $18,413,840 and with 4,806 class I rooms, costing on an average of $3,831. i as compared with an average cost of | $5,026 for all class rooms for white chil t dren. | Thirty-five buildings were erected for ; negro children, costing $411,264. These i contain 236 class rooms, built at an av ' wage cost of $1,742, as compared with i $3,429 for the entire state. The aver > age eost of each building erected for | negroes was $11,750, as’ compared with $31,631 taking .the state as a whole as regards she erection of negro schools. | Aside from figures in connection with j the two loan funds, Superintendent Al i len furnishes data to show that since | the end of 1020 seventy buildings have , been erected in the 24 larger cities' cost ing $9,673,196. These contain 949 class rooms, casting an average of $10,193 each, while the average eost pet school in this class was $138,188. In the 15 smaller cities 12 buildings have been erected costing $519,000. The average cost per school in this class was $43,250 and the avrrage cost per class room was $4/)92. In all dities during the pass four year* $16,712,299 has been expended in the erection of new school buildings. Superintendent Allen points out, that schools built from the loan fund to coun ties have been erected at a much less average cost than those which have been added to the cities.

John Ruskin. Our part is not fitly sustained upon the earth unless, the range of our in tended and deliberate usefulness includ es not only the • companions, but she successors of our pilgrimage. God has lent us the earth for our life; it is a great entail. It belongs as much to those who are to come after us, and those whose names are already written in the book of creation, as to us; and we have no right, by auything that We do or neglect, to involve them in unnecessary penalties, or to deprive them of benefits which it was ih our power to bequeath. And this the more, because it is one of the appointed con ditions of the labor men that in propor tion to the time between seed-sowing and the harvest, is the fulness of the fruit, and that generally, therefore, the further ok we' place our aim and the less we desire to be ourselves the wit ness of what we have labored for, the more wide and rich will be the measure of our success. Men cannot benefit those who are with them as they can benefit those who come after them; and of all the pul pits from which the human voice la ever sent forth, there is none fgom which it reaches so far aa from the grave.
