DIFFERENCES SEEN
IN FUTURE SCHOOL
Poor Planning and Waste Of
Money Claimed in Pres
ent Structures.

School buildings of the future must
be built quite differently from those
of the past, and, above all, it must be
recognized that there never will be such
a thing as a standard type of building,
according to DR.. N. L. Engelhardt, pro-
fesSor of education at Teachers College,
Columbia University, has completed a
survey of the problems of school build
ing.
Huge waste Of money prevails under
the present system. caused by the plan
ming of school buildings in terms of ira
dition rather than modern educational
needs. DR.. Engelhardt reports. Too
many small buildings where one large
school would be more efficient, space
wasted in unutilized auditoriums, study
halls, libraries, sewing rooms and science
halls, and short-sighted building pro-
grams roll up a waste that runs into
the millions, according to the survey.
Radio Effects Cited.
AS an Illustration of the need for
f1exibility in the building of schools, DR..
Engelhardt cites the possible effecs of
the radio and talking pictures, which
will call for larger assembly rooms in
buildings and which will ultimately af-

REVIVAL IN BUILDING

struction in 1891 Likely to
Reach Large Figure.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. January 24.-Municipal
improvements aggregating many mil
lions are on Baltimore's program for
1881 In addition, there is expectation
that industrial and private building
operations will be revived during the
coming year.
Important on the list of municipal
projects is thu 100000 undertaking
which involves construction of an east
west viaduct and the extension of How
ard street, the latter to give the city an
additional North-South artery. Another
will be the erection of the $2,000,00
Pratt Library Building. The public
school building program will be carried
on steadily. Allotments for all of the
current S10,000,000 have been made,
and something like half of this amount
has been expended.
There are also in prospect two school
buildings for handicapped children. To
erect these buildings a loan of 81 $780,
600 was recently ratified by the voters
of the city
For its water supply the city has
under way the Prettyboy project on the
upper Gunpowder. The bulk of the
work in constructing the dam is eX-
pected to be done during 1881. All told,
the Prettyboy project will involve the
expenditure of about $3,O0o,0O0, it is
estimated.

FARM ACCOUNTS TO BE
RETURNED THIS MONTH

The farm account books kept by
% farmers of the county for the
year 1880 will be returned by Mr..
r. NJ. Turner, farm management
specialist, the latter part of this
month. These records are being
kept for analysis of farming OPP
erations in the county and a care
full summary has been made of
the % records to determine the
factors favorable to successful
farming within the county.
While the records this year do
not show as high a return as for
1929, that is to be expected. The
average return is quite little
above being in the red, however,
and points to this section as being
probably much better off than 9TH
er sections. A more detailed write
up of the study will be given later
for the benefit of the farmers in
general. 1t must be taken into con-
sideration that these farmers rep
resent various acreages and types
# farming included almost straight
truck to larger dairy operations.
Seven additional farmers have
started records for 1881 so as to
bring the number for this year up
o 30 providing we have no mortal
ty among the farmers keeping the
'ecords during the past two years.
The farmer keeping the record is
