Five years ago the board of edu-
cation of Flint asked the school of
education of the University of
Michigan to survey the schools and
lay out a progressive program fur
the next 10 years.
At the close of the first five-year
interval, the board had made the
following progress: It had adopt-
ed the 6 '1 3 plan. That is, all
children in kindergarten and
grades one to six are now housed
in 24 permanent elementary school
buildings All children in grades
seven, eight and nine are now
housed in three junior high schools
and all the senior high schools in
one senior high school building.
The Senior High School Build-
ing is located on a 57-acre campus
within seven blocks of the center
of the city. The site alone cost
$750,000.
The feature is the teachers' resi-
dence hull on the high school cam-
pus where 140 teachers live. While
the property is owned by the
board of education. it is rented to
the Teachers' Club and run by
them in the interest of the teach-
ers.
The board of education has also
purchased 10 additional sites lo-
cated at strategic points in the
outlying districts of the city in an-
ticipation of the needs of the
schol housing facilities in these
sections.
The board of education has also
under consideration an expansion
program which will include the
erection of eight additional build-
ings during the next 10 years, each
to house approximately 1,000 chil-
dren, two additional junior high
schools each to house from 1,500
to 1,600 children, and an addi-
tional senior high school to house
2,400 pupils. This program will
necessitate the expenditure of ap-
proximately $4,500,001) during the
10-year period, or $450,000 a year.
The board of education has
adopted a building policy which
places an elementary school for
kindergarten and grades one to six
within approximately a half-mile
radius of all the children living
within the district. The city of
Flint has grown at the rate of
1,500 school children a year for the
last five years and all available
figures predict a continuance of
this growth during the next tive-
year interval. More than 22,000
of the children attend public
schools while only about 2,000
children of school age attend pri-
vate or parochial schools.
Approximately 80 per cent of
the children in the city of school
age, that is 5 to 19 inclusive, are
attending public schools. Despite
the enormous building program,
the tax rate for the city of Flint
is at about the average for other
cities of Michigan.

pointed tax-gatherer, take care not

S Michigan's third city, Flint
owes its growth, develop-
ment and prosperity to the
state's lending industry, the manu-
facture of automobiles. The city's
expansion is so closely allied to the
similar development of the auto-
mobile industry that its title, "The
Vehicle City," earned during an-
other industrial era, is still fitting-
ly descriptive.
Today Flint has a population of
152,000, according to the 1927 di-
rectory estimate. When the cen-
tury opened, the city's population
numbered 13,103. This means that
in population the city has grown
12 times larger in 27 years.
There is no doubt that the
growth of the automobile bolos-
try is directly responsible for such
remarkable development. The first
curs were produced there in 1903,
when the Buick Motor Company
was organized, and 16 cars were
manufactured. Since that time
the city's growth has been in di-
rect proportion to the increase in
automobile manufacture.
There are three noticeable
phases in the city's history. Be-
fore the middle of the last century
Flint was nothing more than a vil-
lage located on Flint river in Gerie•
see county about 68 miles north-
west of Detroit. It was originally
platted as the village of Grand
Traverse and was later known as
the vilalge of Flint River, although
never incorporated as a village.
One who loves his neighbors and
has the interests of his relatives at
heart, and one who marries his sis-
ter's daughter, of such it is said:

In 1908 Mr. Durant organized
the General Motors Company, with
the Buick Motor Company as one
of the principal units. The Wes-
ton-Molt Axle Works was absorbed
by the Buick at the same time and
as the industry grew a number of
other subsidiary industries were
absorbed. Flint's second largest
automobile factory, the Chevrolet
Motor Company, was also organ-
ized by Mr. Durant in 1912 and I
by this time the third phase of the
city's development was in full
swing. Later on, after leaving the
General Motors, he organized the I
Durant Motors and located one of I
its subsidiaries, the Flint Motor
Company, in the city.

vehicles in one year. It was dur-
ing this period that Flint became
known throughout the country as
"The Vehicle City." During this
time axle works and body com-
panies, as well as subsidiary indus-
tries, made Flint their center.
William C. Durant recognized
the great future of this industry.
In 1903 he reorganized the Flint
Wagon Works, which was making
the Buick automobile with the en-
gine designed by Thomas Buick.
This industry because known as the
Buick Motor Company, and 16 au-
tomobiles were made the first year.
Mr. Durant, as the chief execu-
tive of the company, saw the in-
dustry gradually get on its feet
and begin its tremendous growth.
