ent limitations of the school district of Mifflin, provided the present conditions of housing and size of lots were maintained. Assignment

1. What are your criticisms of each method employed in determining the saturation?

2. Given a fixed area which has been set aside for community development, how would you go about setting up the percentages of the total area to be devoted to residences, retail stores, municipal buildings and lands, and the like? What are the significant variables which contribute difficulties?

3. Having determined possible saturation, how would you, as a superintendent of schools, proceed to use it?

4. What effect has zoning on the establishment of restricted areas?

5. Can you suggest any other method of discovering ultimate saturation?

PROBLEM 2

RESIDENTIAL SATURATION IN A DEVELOPING COMMUNITY

Problem: In Norland, N. K., a city of approximately 35,000 people, a residential section has been carefully planned, and the school sites determined in advance of the residential development. Upon the Franklin School site has been placed a platoon school which to-day houses 2,200 children. This is the maximum number of children for whom provision should be made on this site. The section of the community served by this school has not yet reached the maximum with respect to the number of homes which can be built within the section or the number of elementary children to be served. The superintendent of schools desires to ascertain the maximum number of residents in the district now served by this school and the peak load of elementary school children which this section will be required to carry.

Diagram 1 shows the present child population distribution. about the Franklin School site. Each dot on this diagram represents a child of Grades 1 to 7 attending this platoon school. The large majority of the children live between Stilwell Boulevard and Houston Avenue. The main business street is Proctor Street and the chief subsidiary business street is Houston Avenue. The conditions are such to the west of Houston Avenue that the population will not spread in that direction except in the immediate vicinity of the Lamar School. To the northeast of Stilwell Boulevard is a continuation of the residential section shown here. A second large school is the DeQueen School shown on this diagram. The location of the high school at the head of Stilwell Boulevard is also indicated. This is a high school caring for children from the 8th to the 11th grades.
