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.
