prove more responsive.
The large numbers of small blue
fish now present in Chesapeake Bay
is most encouraging. Even the
small blues like good, salty water
and plnety of food. We are ex-
tremely hopeful that this fall their
larger cousins will return to Bay
waters. enabling anglers to enjoy
the thrills of catching these super
lative sport fish, which have been
missing from the Bay for the last
decade or more. Striped bass have
been taking their usual midsummer
vacation lately, but few more
weeks will see the schools commenc-
ing to form. WOshould have excel
lent fishing for them this fall.
Trout and hardhead also are plenti-
full, but bottom fishing for them
continues somewhat spotty. Spot
are plentiful, but mostly of medium
size.

accurately enough for making de-
tailed maps. The maps made at
that time were based on the old
type of oblique aerial pictures. The
features of the immediate vicinity
south of Mount Tricorn were not

II Billions Needed
For School Buildings,
Educators Estimate

To get the Nations schools-from
primary grades through college-up
to a point where they have enough
buildings and equipment to meet
present needs will take approx
mately $11, 900 900 900, the Office of
Education estimated yesterday.
This estimate was made in the
January issue Of School Life, OFF,
cial journal of the Once of Educa-
ton, which was published yester-
day. Information for the estimate
was compiled by N E. Viles, N. D.
Pulliam and A. H. Gibbs of the
ONCE of Education staff.
Characterized as preliminary"
the estimate is the best from in
formation available and should be
regarded only as an indication of
the. construction needs of educa-
tional institutions, the report en-
phasized.
Schools Need S7,400, ,0O0. 900.
The public elementary and sec
ondary schools need total of
$500, 10000 for expansion of their
plants; the nonpublic elementary
and secondary schools need $8,000,-
900 for a total of 100000, 900
for all elementary and secondary
schools. The nations colleges and
universities need about $780,
900 600.
These needs include new con-
struction for added space, the re-
placement of obsolete facilities,
modernization and the replacement
of temporary construction. the re-
port stated. This should take care
of immediate needs as well as those
anticipated for the immediate fu-
ture.
The report explained that the fig
ures were arrived at from lnforma-
ton received from 81 states. The
reports from certain representative
states were selected from these to
serve as basis for projecting school
plant needs in the elementary and
secondary levels The states Sc
lected represented AZ per cent of
the registration of the public ele-
mentary and secondary schools
The estimate for the needs of COL
leges and universities came from re-
ports from 300 institutions over the
country.
Estimate Is Preliminary.
The authors of the report said
they found very few states had COM
plete, up-to-date information on
their school needs. This, plus the
varying estimates caused by changes
! in the costs of construction. make
the estimate preliminary one
! they added.
The report indicated that college
enrollments will remain at the pres
ent high level even after the veter-
ans now enrolled have completed
their training.
IF a substantial number of the
100000 16 to 17-year-olds and of
the 100000 18 to 19-year- olds not
now in school are to be enrolled,
plant facilities must be substantially
increased" the report said. If we
are to provide additional facilities
for even one half of the more than
5000 900 preschool children and out
of school children, our total needs
will be increased by at least 81
