CHICAGO, Feb. 2S.-The last of Amert-
cas- little red schoolhouses" are fast
disappearing
In their places are springing up snappy
modern structures, the very best the
small communities can afford-things to
point to with local pride.
For, according to Rainfall J. Condor,
superintendent of schools Of Cincinnati,
new era Of school building Is under
way in the United States. 1t is the most
extensive and elaborate program Of school
construction ever attempted, involving
the expenditure Of millions upon millions
of dollars and covering the big cities
as well as the rural communities.
Mr.. Condor, one of the eight thousand
educators In attendance at the conven-
ton of the National Education Assocta-
ton, Is in charge of the school arch1-
lecture building and equipment exhibit
tion which was used to visualize the con-
vention's discussions on school construc-
ton.
AS an illustration Of how far-reach1ng
the building program is. Mr. Condor
pointed to the fact that the community
of Bull, Mimi, with a population of
only 2,100, Is erecting a $4,000 school
structure.
Most big communities, he said, have a
school building program ranging from
1000, 600 to $4,000, 900.
Numerous communities have under con-
temptation the erection of an educational
center" comprising a group Of build
ings. New buildings Of the future, such
as museums, ampitheaters and the like
would be built in or near the "educa-
tional senter," emphasizing the commun-
ity's aspect Of culture.
Which activity presages the unfolding
Of the educational purpose Of America,
according to leading educators, said Miss
Charl Ormond Williams, president of the
