If a new school was to be built. elaborate plans were submitted by the Department of Edu- cation and the most expensive school got the biggest grant. There never bas been any supervision with a dew to economy In school building., especial- n.y In the larger eentres and suburban areas, and many a school board has hen threatened by inspectors that If :Lew buildings or additions were not made grants would be cut off. The cost per room varies from $7,000 in rural areas to *18,000 in urban districts. onderful schools have beer built, but they are not paid for. •-iaels.wt+ debt for schools increased $20.000,000 In ten years, and as a natural result expenditure inereased $15,000.000.
