HOUSES AND EQUIPMENT


Des Moines, Dec. 4.--Iowa invested
100000 in new school houses in the
last three years. according to report
prepared by A. NJ. Deyoe, snperin-
tendent Of public instruction.
The department sent out blanks to
the various school districts asking for
reports of new buildings erected since
Nov. 1, 1912. The returns show that
100 new school houses have been
erected. The smallest amount invested
in building was $1,000. The largest
school built during the period cost
$2S5, 900.
The average cost of the buildings
was $1,000 each. The average amount
invested by the school districts each
year for the past three years was
S2.333,333 in buildings and equipment.
The reports show that there are 145
consolidated districts in the state. This
is an increase of seventy in the last
year Many of these districts are al
ready at work erecting buildings, and
the others are preparing plans for new
structures.
Mr.. Deyoe says that undoubtedly the
state will continue to invest in new
school buildings at the rate of two
million q year for several more years.
The greatest progress is being made
in consolidated districts. he says.
Many Of the districts have put up $780,
600 buildings out in the country with a
special cottage adjoining, for the use
of the teachers.
With the present rate of increase in
the number OF districts, the superir-
