The School Estimates

Wnlle Cne amount the District
should spend in the next fiscal year
for its public school system is some
thing that must. perforce, be deter
mined with regard to other munich
pal needs and the total revenue avail
ability, school authorities have made
a strong case for more liberal treat
ment in their 1941 budget requests.
Particularly is this true as to re-
quests for funds for new structures
for which population demand is ap-
parent, for replacement of old build
ings and for adoption of a policy of
land acquisition in advance of i'm
mediate construction needs.
The record would show, no doubt,
that the District has paid heavily
for delays in the purchase of sites
for projects that had been antici-
pated, either in paying higher prices
when the land finally was acquired,
or in the loss of the best locations
and the consequent dislocation of
various pieces of the plan. The sug-
gestlon for more systematic and
timely purchases of sites sounds wise
indeed.
Discussion of better programing
OF building and land requirements
brings to mind the fate of earlier
efforts in that direction. There was
once a formally adopted f1ve-year
school building plan that did not
materialize. Failure Of that plan,
however, does not present argu-
ments against the proposal for
a more definite policy for land
purchases and larger amounts for
buildings, but rather constitutes
proof of the cause, for past failure
OF fund requests is one explanation of
the length of the list of construction
and land items now requested.
Those charged with the handling
OF the estimates should, and un-
doubtedly will, take into considera-
tlon the fact that the schools have
no large P. w. A. building project
Tor the coming year as in the present.
One new school and a number of
additions to existing buildings are
being provided in the $1,OOO,O00
P. w. A. program authorized a year
ago last month-a program which
was taken into consideration when
the building estimates for the 1910
budget were slashed to minimum.
1t Is also worth noting that the
replacement program championed by
Senator Overton in the conference
on the 1910 budget and finally de-
feated with a single small exception
again makes its appearance in the
194l estimates. This would provide
several modern 24-room buildings to
replace large number of ancient,
economically inefficient eight-room
structures.
A new Wilson Teachers College
and new Abbott Vocational schol-
both items smothered in the hasty
passage of the 1910 bill after the long
duel between the House and Senate
over the amount of the Federal pay
ment-are again requested. The
need for the former was affirmed
strongly by committee of Senators
which visited the present building
last June.
For the next year school authori-
ties are seeking $18,775,OOO, an in
crease of $5,400,000 over this years
appropriations.

Believes Pedestrian Safety
Drive Has Failed.

To the Editor Of The Star:
1nasmuch as the pedestrian safety
drive has definitely proved failure, as
shown by the many arrests and the great
dificulty experienced by most pedes-
trians in crossing the streets with the
green lights, why not try an amber light
for pedestrians? Surely it's worth trial,
and only fair trial would prove whether
or not such a procedure would delay
motor trad1c unduly. I'm for it.

This button-front Jumper and
blouse together make an ideal
school outfit. The jumper skirt
flares a lot, as it should, and has
broad, buttoned straps crossed in
back and therefore certain to stay
securely in place. Then, too, you
can leave off the suspenders when
you feel like it. and wear your
blouse outside, instead of tucked in.
1t is darted at the waistline, SO
that it fits beautifully. either way
Included in the design is a trim
little pair of shorts to wear with
the blouse for gym or sports.
For the jumper skirt, choose lin
en-. pique, thin wool or velveteen.
Linen, gingham. broadcloth and
batiste are practical materials for
the shorts and blouse.
