Cincinnati is raced with the problem of overcrowding schools As a result, the board of education had been forced to adopt makeshifts in the form of portable buildings to relieve congestion. In this respect the situation is very similar to the one existing at Indianapolis.

Three years ago when it became apparent that additional finances would be needed properly to care for the school children of Cincinnati, a bond issue of $5,000,000 for a building fund was granted by a vote of the people. Not more than one half of this has been used. At the election in November a school tax of one-half mill. 50 cents on SI,OOO, will be voted upon. A year ago a determined effort to throw the school board into politics was made by a political machine, but the candidates of the machine were defeated by a non-partizan ticket nomination on petition.
