tary buildings for class rooms are in use here and there all over the city and offer one of the most serious arguments in favor of the bond issue that will make new and safe buildings possible. Insur- ance statistics for the United States show that one building, devoted to educational purposes, is burned every day in the year. Many of Birmingham's school buildings are frame or mere shells-firetraps of the most dangerous character-with narrow halls and narrow stairways, beside the frame cottages. That some of them have not been the scene of terrible tragedies says Commissioner Hornady, is due to tlreless vigilance combined with rare good fortune. Other cities have had ter rible disasters from fire and from floors giving way, where the buildings were no worse than some of those in Birming- ham,
 With Norwood's extending in the oppo- site direction, the Barker school on Twen- ty-third street is almost out of reach for many of the children from that district,
 besides being too small to accommodate te Its increasing attendance. To relieve this it is planned to erect a new building; of 16 class rooms at some convenient point in the Norwood district The South High
 lands and the Ullman schools are now the nearest to many children living in
 the vicinity of Fifteenth avenue and
 Fifteenth street, south, and a new build
 ing in the district will save additions to
 these two schools. The Pratt school is
 in need of four more class rooms and additional grounds This school and the South Highlands are the largest in the city, each having more than 20 teachers These new buildings and new units will provide adequate school buildings for the White children, aside from repairs that
 are needed at Central High school, Ems ley school, Powell, Henley Martin, Ba- Fer, Graymont, Elyton, South Highlands,

TO PLACE BIRMINGHAM SCHOOLS IN THE FRONT
 RANK IN WHOLE SOUTH
By FLORA MILNER HARRISON

The proposed s2,0oO.OO0 bond issue for Birmingham schools will place them in the front rank among those of southern cities. At present the school properties of Richmond, Memphis, Dallas, Worcester, Mass, Toledo, and Oakland, Cal, are each greater in value than those in Bir- mingham, though Birmingham is larger in area, and population than any of these cities with the exception of Oakland. Fl Paso, Tex, much smaller than Birming- ham, is spending s550,000 on one high school building, while the amount asked for here is not quite four times that amount, and will provide two high schools, 20 elementary schools. eight new units, and put other school buildings in
