DIR. Thomas Tells
Growth of School
Building Program

Almost every day Commissioners A.
o. Thomas, of the State department
Of education is receiving through the
mail plans for new school buildings
sent in for the approval of the State
school department. Commissioner
Thomas was going over seven plans
for new buildings yesterday, these
having Just arrived at the depart
ment.
"Such plans show that the program
of school building is growing Won
derfully," declared DR.. Thomas. "In
a short time the building program
will be brought up to standard. The
history of school buildings in the
United States shows thta 40 years Is
the average life of building and a
State that let's its building program
go, will have to come to 1t all at
once and bring it up to date. This is
a difficult task and hard on the tax
payers. The people want to get the
schools in shape, and make heroic
effort to do it.
1.-THE buildings are not expensive,
but are substantial, plain but very
sensible. and completely up to date.
I'VE have a campaign on for fresh
air in our schools and we believe that
this campaign in the last few years
has been a big factor in helping to
reduce the percentage of tuberculosis.
1--WE also have a campaign for the
proper lighting of school buildings.
Proper lighting will save the pupils
eyes and will also save much cleo
tricity in those buildings that are
equipped with electric lights. Sun
light is cheaper than electricity where
the people pay the taxes"
