From among bands placed on
doves throughout the state by unit
personnel and cooperators, several
numbers have been designated
lucky ones. Prizes will be given
hunters turning in bands bearing
the lucky numbers.
The prizes are being offered as
an inducement to hunters to re

tained on migration routes, nest
ing success, average length of life
and other facts essential for a
sound management program for

Caudill’s Architecture
Featured in Colliers
'the work of William W. Cau
dill, research architect of the Texas
Engineering Experiment Station
of .the A&M College System, will
be * featured in an article in the
current issue of Collier’s Maga
zine.
The article—“The Little Red
Schoolhouse Goes Modern” by Wal
ter McQuade—shows direct appli
cation of the research findings of
the Engineering Experiment Sta
tion during the last 10 years which
encouraged modern innovations in
school building construction.
It describes a 20-year school
building program at Blackwell,
Okla. Caudill and his associates in
private practice designed buildings
for two elementary schools at
Blickwell.
Ill these structures were implant
ed the ideas gleaned from the years
of architectural research on the
A&M College campus. They are
simple in design and have the ver
satility needed to accommodate
modern education techniques.
The community of Blackwell, as
described by the article, was a
conservative one faced suddenly
with the problem of providing ade-
qitate educational facilities for the
accelerated population increase
during World War II.
Overpopulated Schools
!“War babies” over the nation
will tax educational facilities from
kihdergarten through college for
a .generation and will require out
lays by municipal school systems
over the nation of about $1,000,000-
0Q0 annually for the next 10 years.
.The Collier’s article also tells
how a document of the Texas En
gineering Experiment Station—a
film entitled “Building for Learn
ing”—provided guidance to the
citizens of Blackwell in determin
ing their needs.
Touching on Caudill’s earlier ef
forts with school building planning
after he began as an instructor
in the A&M College Architecture
Department, it'makes special men
tion of the Engineering Experi
ment Station’s bulletin “Space for
Teaching,” in which he advanced
his case for good schools.
Ventilation Essential
The bulletin advised school
boards to insist on big windows to
give school children lots of nat
ural light, to put long overhangs
over the windows to keep out the
glare of direct sunlight.
It showed how to build schools
to taka advantage of prevailing
breezes, but protect play areas
from winter winds. Pointing out
that teaching methods had changed
from stiff, regimented recitations
to more relaxed group activities,
it showed how the classroom also
could be made more flexible. and
homelike.
Caudill now is pushing school
building research harder than ever,
the magazine points out; he wants
to build schools that are even
better.
