"Of the 60,500 buildings repaired or constructed under the [CWA], over half were educational buildings" (Analysis of Civil Works Program Statistics, 1939, p. 10).

People will... attend schools they built... do their public business in courthouses and state capitols which workers from CWA rescued from disrepair..." (Spending to Save, 1936, p. 120).

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1933, #FDR launched the short-lived #CivilWorksAdministration. It spent 200 million per month and gave jobs to four million, building bridges, schools, airports, and sewers. CWA was replaced in 1935 in the Second #NewDeal with #WorksProgressAdministration.
