A six-vear to - ten-year School
building program haa been mapped
. out by a committee of The State
Education Commission t meet
I' North Carolina's school building
needs. - - ;
The Commission's -Plant ; Com
mittee, headed by ME T.Lainbeth
of Statesville, says -the adipinis
v tration" of the program should be
a joint responsibility .of. State. and
local .school governments.
The committee's, report points
out: that most of Ihe 'school build-
irigs of the State yens' erected
prior to the development of mod?
era ideas of educational proced-
ures, and they are lacking in ade
. quate space for sUch things as li
- braries,' lunchroomsr-healths clinica,
recreational facilities, and. rooms
. : for music and dramatic arts, .as
well as forscience and, vocational
courses. ' ' ?-'
'"In many of the less economi
cally fortunate counties, the .school
- housing situation iar extremejy: d
plorable", the report continues. ".
While inspecting! school- plants,
the plant committee observed many
which were poorly planned, cheap
ly constructed, obsolete, lacking
In essential features, "in a poor
state of repair, dark, dirty. and

" "The State' of "North Carolina
cannot afford to subject its future
' citizens to such unwholesome sur
roundings", the '..reoprt! said. "In
spectioiUof sample school build

gleet of adequate maintenance
programs.' This situation has,
to some extent, resulted from.war
; time conditions. It is A false econ

of plant investment. It is. alsd evi

it says. "Even with the use of ob

. Some of the basic ;' elements
which should be included in future
