room space to meet the needs of the
schools. and at cost not to exceed
the funds available. Standard plans
based upon the unit system of con-
struction which allow additions to be
made as necessity may demand have
been adopted which are suited to the
conditions of the country.
These buildings are built of reiu-
forced concrete combined with good
construction timber and have from
one to 10 rooms each. Nearly 800
buildings are now in course of con-
struction.

ards, new ideals of conduct and new
ideals of character.
