etc., and is of the portable type of construction. Units of portable schools re being built at the ilaywood, Lincin and Lafayette schools. These three additions include class rooms and gymnasiums. The most ambitious, however, ia the additions and alterations of the industrial high school building which with cost of equipment will represent an expenditure of $500,000 to be met by a bond issue now being arranged. The total cost of the portable schools is $60,000, making the building program of the year in excess of half a million dollars. TO BE FI.VEST IX RECIO.Y. When the Industrial high school building Is complete it will be the finest school plant in northern Indiana.
