CHICAGO SCHOOL
/. SYSTEM TO HAVE
MORE BUILDINGS
To Spend $16,OOO,OOO
to House 10000 Kids

Business manager John E. Byrnes
of the board Of education thinks that
the new school building program an
nounced to cost S1e,OO0,O0O will ac-
comodate 10000 more pupils than the
present facilities by next fall and
many more than that by fall 1925
when the full building program will
be completed.
More schools and better schools
have been almost the greatest imme-
date need of the Chicago system and
have been valiantly fought for by the
Chicago Teachers Federation and
teachers councils. For a time it
looked as tho the reactionary and
business board of education would
shelve the urgent school building
plans to put up skyscraper in the
loop for their own offices. Whether
the teachers federation will succeed
in making big corporation tax-dodgers
pay up or whether the money for the
new schools comes from poorer peck
cts remains to be seen.
The following eleven sites are to
be purchased at once:
Between One Hundred and Eleventh
and One Hundred and Twelfth sts and
Bishop and S. Latin SITS.
One Hundred and Twenty-ninth st.
and Exchange and Muskegon ayes.
