FI ND DISTRIBUTED I TO BUILD SCHOOLS .< THUOUOHOUT STATE. ( The State department of education ( has just completed the payment of < State building aid to 13U districts in t counties. The legislature appropi iated ?35,000 for building purposes < and, though this amount was $15,- \ 000 above the approviation of pre- i, vious years, it did not fully meet all the demands. ( Under the law the school district jj must supply 50 per cent of the cost of any new school house, the county 25 ] per cent and the State 25 per cent 5 with a maximum allowance of $300 < from the county and $300 from the ] State. This policy contemplated the | erection of buildings containing at t least two and preferably three class rooms, with adequate cloak rooms for i the teachers and pupils, in .sparsely > populated districts one-teacher -chools are still erected, but the nuni- ; her ol* such schools is steadily decreasing. The introduction of indus- 1 trial work is practically impossible in I i lie one-room school. The total investment in these l.'Ki ' new buildings is more than a half mil- i lion dollars. No better index to the public school enthusiasm of the peo- < pie could be furnished. Compulsory Law. : A large proportion of these build- < inn's is the direct result of the local option compulsory attendance law 01 , lOlii. Some districts accepted compulsory attendance and immediately be van to build new school houses, notably Columbia and Spartanburg. < Hher districts preferred to provide ' adequate buildings in order to prepare for compulsory attendance by July, 11)1(5; for example, Darlington. Anderson, Orangeburg and Sumter. This . tTi*aliFyinjr growth means that a le- ' .mate school accommodations a"? now retainable in many communities. and every such community where a local tax has been voted, ought to accept j the compulsory attendance law. eilVr 1 y petition o? by election. Thirty unpaid applications are st;ll 011 tile in the oflice of the State super- j i'ntendent of education. These will he submitted to the legislature next January with the recommendation that their payment he authorized and that j the building appropriation of $25,000 be renewed. Improvement in Architecture. The improvement in school arehi- s tecture has been noteworthy. Proper . standards of lijjrhtinjr, seating, heating s and ventilation have been observed in s every building plan approved by i school officers. Especial attention has v been given to sanitation and equip- f ment, particularly blackboards. A a school lot of four acres has been urged in every instance in order that nlavgronnd and. a schooU. gara^^night be provided. While the ' requirement as to a four-acre site has not been invariably enforced, it has ^ been modified with great reluctance and only after full explanation by lo- ' cal school officers. State Superintendent J. E. Swear- ^ ingen is especially grateful to Prof. R. E. I.ee. of the drawing department of Clemson College, for invaluable professional assistance in supplying blue , prints to school trustees free of ' charge. Schools Receive Building Aid.
