Excerpt from Report of the Survey of the Public School System of Baltimore, Maryland, 1920-1921, Vol. 1 In estimating the need for larger school population a conservative esti mate oi the increase in population has been used as a basis. The most careful study of population and changes, or shifts in population by wards, by census enumeration districts, and by police beats has been made. A study of the area surrounding each elementary school and of the larger areas fur nishing the school population of the junior high schools and senior high schools has been utilized in the development of the program as it has to do with the location of new school buildings. This type of investigation should be continued by the executive staff of the Board of School Commissioners. However carefully the work has been done, there will be changes in the city and shifts in population which cannot now be anticipated. A building program for a modern American city is of sufficient importance to require the time of a man, expert in this field of city planning, constantly at work upon the problem.
