that the Board of Education under

although they could also have had
such a building had they wished to
bond their towns for the necessary
money. 1t is up to you to show your
appreciation as Mr.. Register and Mr..
Brinser have stated. We have tried
to get the best teachers for you and
it is up to you to do your part.

BALTIMORE BUILDING
TO SET RECORD IN 1925
Undreamed-of Peak to Be Touch
ed, Inspector Says-Predicts
$75, 100000 Program.

Special Dispatch 70 The Star.
BALTIMORE, December 20.-Build-
ing operations here In 1925 will reach
a peak never before dreamed, accord
ing to Charles Fl. Osborne. building
| inspector. In fact, it is likely that
close to $75,000,000 will be spent for
new structures in the coming IL
months. This year building Will cost
about s55.OO0.000.
His prediction is based on the way
building operations are holding UP In
| the closing days of 1924 and plans
| being made by builders for even
greater activities next year
Incidentally, 1t is the first year In
the business career of Inspector Os-
borne when the general election had
no effect on building. Heretofore. he
pointed out, for several months prior
to an election for President, building
operations would drop off.
This year, however, operators seem
ed to take no cognizance of election
and there was no letup. On the con-
trary, work seemed to have been
speeded up during the closing months
of 1924
Both the volume of building per
mits and the number OF permits for
dwellings issued here during the IL
months of this year have outstripped
any former year in the city's history.

Plans Being Made
Here for Week
to Boost Idea.
Old Virginia House
RecOnditiOned as
Example of Work.

Some of the demonstrations OF
better homes" in the spring of 1924
during the week set aside for this
purpose all over the country, in
cluded considerable territory. Thus
in Charlottesville, home OF the Uni
versity of Virginia, a demonstration
of better home" was held for all of
Albanian County.
The house chosen was 1J years old
and In bad condition. 1t had recently
been sold for $4,000. The better homes
committee determined to use this old
house as a demonstration of what
could be done in the way of recon
dftioning a farmhouse.
The needs Of a farm family We're
kept in mind all the time. Much OF
the work was done by volunteers, the
actual outlay for paint, wall paper
and the like being only a few cents
more than SIS. The pictures above
show the fine result which the better
homes committee achieved with the
cordial cooperation of many organi-
cations of Charlottesville and of the
county and State.
Particular attention is being di-
reCted by the National Better Homes
in-American organization to ruraI
demonstrations. Many farm home
demonstration agents throughout the
country are actively cooperating
with this completely non-commercial
educational movement to help Ameri-
can families, no matter how small
their incomes, to make the most oi
them in securing for their homes the
utmost in beauty and comfort, and
utility.
Under the direction of DR.. James
Ford. the executive director Of Bet
r-Homes- es-in-America, national head
quarters at 1858 Pennsylvania ave
nue., is already actively engaged in
the perfection of plans for better
homes demonstrations during the
week set aside for the purpose in
May, 1925. Fifteen hundred com
munities took part in the 1924 cam
paign and plans are now being put
into operation TO extend this educa-
tional campaign in 1925 to all cities
towns, villages and rural communities
