Schools OF State
Need $4,000,
For Construction

Mississippi will need to spend
sc, 100000 in immediate postwar
years for new school buildings and
for repairs to present structures to
adapt its school system to antici-
pated heavier enrollments and to
educational changes, according to a
survey just released by the Ameri-
can Association of school admins
traitors. This is a conservative fig
ure, the survey reveals, as many
communities have not yet ascer-
tanned future school requirements.
The report bears out U. S. Bu-
reau of Census figures, which show
that wartime births in Mississippi
are running 20 per cent above
peace years.
Larger enrollments, as well as
wartime developments, will greatly
influence future school design, it is
predicted by Reginald E. Marsh,
nationally known school architect
and member of the postwar plan
ming committee of the American
Institute of Architects, New York
chapter.
Such facilities as cafeterias and
lunchrooms will be designed for
general educational purposes and
installed in many more schools"
Marsh says. Floors and VAIN
.scoting of tile will make them at
tractive and easily cleaned for use
before and after lunch as study
halls, music rooms and club meet
ing places"
Marsh also forsees increased ac-
cent on physical education and vo-
cational training as a result of
selective service findings. Athletic
facilities, he believes, will be in
creased and where joint community
and school needs can be served tile
swimming polls may be installed.
Nursery schools will probably be
made part of the school system,
according to Marsh. set up near
war plants, they have relieved
mothers for work and at the same
time proved of educational bene-
fit to children" he says.
Census figures highlight Miss
issippi's coming school problems.
They show ,228,52O births in the
1941-44 period, 20 per cent more
than in 19331-36, when 189,9O3 in
fants were born. Population shifts,
easing pressure on some schools,
will intensity it for others in 1947,
as children of 1886 start leaving
elementary grades and the bumper
1941-44 crop begins knocking at
school doors for admission.
