SAY MOST N. C. SCHOOLS LACK ENOUGH SPACE Fail To Provide For Libraries, HaaU.n Mufeic, Drama A six-to ten-year school build inR program has been mapped out by a committee of the State Education commission to meet North Carolina's school building needs. Th? commlttlon'i Plant com mittee, headed by M, T Lam beth, of Stateevllle, say* the administration of the program should be a joint responsibility of state and local school gov ernments. The committee's report point.; out that most of the school buildings of the state were erected prijr to the development of modern ideas of educational procedures, and they aie lack ing in adequate space for such things as libraries, lunchrooms, health clinics, recreational fa cilities, and rooms for music and dramatic arts, as well as for science and vocational courses.

APPROVED FOR G. I. TRAINING lcally fortunate tountiu, the school housing situation la ex tremely deplorable", th? report , continues While inspecting school plants, the plant committee oo served many which were poorly i planned, cheaply conslructea, ' obsolete, lacking in essential leatures, "in a poor state oi re pair, dark, dirty and unsafe." "The State of North Carolina eannot alfoid to subject Us fu ture citizens to such unwhole some surroundings", the report said. "Inspection of sa.np... school builoings has leveaiea iu. glaring neglect of adequate maintenance programs. This sit uation has, to some extent, re sulted from wartime conuit.u.is It is a false economy to neg.ect the preservation ol plant invest ment. It is also evident th-t many of the schcois have \ei> inadequate custodial str\ice. Efficient school operation ana the health of children are defi nitely related to good house keeping. "Although many of the schools of the state are equipped w,t/h excellent sanitary facilit.es, there are many ethers in which the toilet facilities are obsolete and insanitary. Ia many of the schools there are no provisions fOr washing hands. It is rather meanlingless to teach health and at the same time make no provisions for practicing the fundamental health habits." The report says that a large j proportion of the school plants J in the state are sub-standard. ; "Regardless of conditions, the existing plants are woefully in adequate", it says. "Even with the use of obsolete and infer ior buildings, there is not ?uf ftclent sp?ce to accommodate the present enrollment " Some of the basic elements which should be included in fu ture school plants, the commit tee found, are larger classrooms, modern and more flexible furn iture, better seeing conditions, and greater areas devoted to the library, music, dramatic arts, homemaking, industrial arts, and health and physical educa tion.
