meeting held last night in Tyler
Schooi- In presenting the reSolu-
tlon Charles l.. Niner spoke on the
inadequate accommodations in many
of the buildings. and said it seemed
unfair that many children should be
unable to get anything better than a
halliday instruction.
President A. q. Hermann said the
association had repeatedly urged
numerous improvements and addi-
tlonS TO the Inadequate school facjIi-
ties. and hoped the s5.0OO,0O0 cam
paign would prove successful. The
resolution presented by Mr. Niner
sets forth that the public schools are
seriously congested. due to the lack
OF adequate accommodations: that
hundreds of the children are receiv-
ing only a half day of schooling and
many others are quartered in flimsy

SCHOOL SITES MAY BE LOST
BY DELAY IN APPROPRIATION
Prolonged Failure Of Congress to Approve
$5,0O0,0OO Program Will Make Pur-
chase of Lots More Difficult.

Prolonged delay by Congress in APP
proving the original s5.0o0.o0O school
building program will inevitably re-
suit in the loss to the school system OF
many of the available sites proposed
for new school buildings. in the opin-
ion of school authorities. In fact. it
was pointed out today by an official
that property in the Ingleside COM
munity. selected as a location for one
of the junior high schools provided for
in the building project is now the
operation.
There is only one other site able
for schoolhouse available in 1ngle-
side said this official. and unless it
is acquired soon houses undoubtedly
will be erected on it by the owner, and
we will be unable to build a school in
this neighborhood. This is the situa-
ton which confronts us also in other
sections of the city where new schools
and additions to others are needed to
remedy the overcrowded conditions.
Anxious for Action.
Therefore school authorities are
doubly anxious that Congress take
immediate steps to authorize the So
OOO 900 appropriation to finance the
building program. Delay in granting
the appropriation, officials point out,
also means that the crowded condi-
tions in the schools will become more
serious and more children will be put
in part time classes and denied a full
days instruction.
The $4,000 program, which is de-
signed to relieve only the present con-
gested conditions, will provide for the
following new schools and additions
to others:
In the first division-An eight-room
addition to the Eaton School, and an
eight-room addition to the Tenley
In the third divisional twenty-four-
room junior high school on Taylor
street between Georgia avenue and
14th street; an eight-room primary
school in Ingleside: four-room ad-
dition to the Monroe, and an eight
room primary school on Spring road
