Maryland Is Meeting
School Building Need,
PTA Congress Told

The annual conference of the
Maryland Congress of Parents
and Teachers ended yesterday at
College Park after the 300 parents
and teachers who attended were
given assurance that the State is
solving it's school building prob
lem.
DR.. Thomas G. Pullen, jr., State
superintendent of schools, in an
unscheduled appearance at the
closing session, said the State "is
well on its way" to solving it's
main educational problem-ade-
quate buildings.
He reported that work already
has been completed on % entirely
new buildings and 38 additions
In the next three years, he said.
there will be 121 completely new
buildings and 40 additions. Cost
of the building program is s101,s
100000.
Teacher Enrolment Up.
A second problem, he said. is
the lack of elementary teachers.
He reported, however. that enroll
ments at the States teachers COL
leges for the coming year have
greatly increased.
DR.. Pullen said there is feeling
on the part of some that the new
buildings are too fine. too extrava-
CANT. This is not true, he con-
tended. The new buildings are the
best consistent with conditions.
They are in the line with the de-
sires of parents. -, -

children with which communities
should concern themselves.

obey when discipline is intelligent

orderliness even as tots.
