For Be sterinq Schools.

state Superintendent Hill Is very much
Interested In lettering school facilities in
the rural districts, and has taken special
interest In movement begun some time
ago to try to secure more convenient
buildings. The State Educational associa-
ton at Its meeting in Tuscaloosa set apart
$50 to secure buildings where the districts
were not able to supply them. Mr. Hill
and some others have an idea that archi-
tects over the state would be willing to
contribute plans of this character If they
had their attention called to 1t. Houses are
needed to cost from 5000 to $1,000 It Is
the desire of all that these be school
houses and not merely buildings. They
should be ventilated and have light prop
erly distributed. This can only be done
by scientific planning. Architects will find
here good way to help the rural school
districts without much cost to them
selves.
School men of the state are also consid-
ering scheme to get the women of the
state Interested In the school houses.
They have always been for the best in
churches and 1t is thought they can be
equally as much interested in school
houses. 1t Is regarded as certain. too, that
their attention will result in lasting good.
The betterment of the school buildings
will also help the social side of the ques-
ton. It is hoped that every school house
may become place of social gatherings,
and that the general interests of tls COM
niunities will center around them.
The question of local taxation for the
schools Is very popular, as evidenced by
the vote of counties taken. The educa-
tioDal association adopted resolution to
work for an amendment to the constitu-
ton allowing the school districts to vote
on this matter as we'll as the counties as
whole. The present law allows
ties to vote on levying a tax of 10 cents
on the dollar, but no tess divisions than
counties
Professor Hill will be at Tuscaloosa
most of next week where a conference
will be held with the county superin-
