The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-03-29

present in the elementary schools IS 3S and the negro schools 51. Thirty pupils is onsidered normal ca paei.y for high school class rooms. but in the departmental work in the com mercial. manual arts, home econom- ics. vocational work. etc. the actual operating capacity for the modern high school buildings are. much larger per class room.
 The report showed that an approx innate estimate of the requirements for a five-year period from this time with most of the temporary buildings now remaining in service and based upon the capacity for class rooms of 35 for white elementary, 45 for negro elementary. and 60 for high school pupils. also based upon the average annual increase in enrolment ob- tained between the years 19l0-o2 is about as follows.
 Number of class rooms needed for white elementary schools. 2S0.
 Number of class rooms needed for negro elementary schools, 160.
 Number of class rooms needed for white high schools, 70.
 Number of class rooms needed for negro high schools, 20.
 This gives a total of 4S0 class rooms needed to accommodate the influx for five-year period" says the report. "To this estimate should be added auditoriums and gymnas- iusm, necessary to every modern school building. At present only two school buildings of the city are equipped with gymnasiums and only seven with auditoriums.
 "A conservative estimate of funds necessary to take care of the aver age annual increase in enrolment in the schools of the city for period of five years, together with the nec- essary buildings and teachers needed, is $5.000,GO0 to $6,000.00O. It should be remembered that this figure would only take care of needed facilities to modate the average annual in crease ill enrolment over a period of five years. and that the present tenn porary and rented structures would continue in use. progress that would gradually eliminate the tenn porary and rented structures would necessarily increase this estimate ac- cordingly."
 The question of the source and dis tribution of school funds was gone into in detail. According to the re- port there are three sources for school funds. namely: A portion from the state. county and city. The pub lie school fund of the state Is appor- tioned to the several counties in pro- portion to the number of school chil- dren of school age and is so appor- toned to the schools in the districts or townships in the county as to provide as nearly IS practicable school terms of equal duration in such school dis trict or townships.
