What’s to Be Done About City’s Overcrowded Schools?

Thousands of Indianapolis citizens, who have noted with concern the failure of the public school system to keep pace with the city’s growth, undoubtedly rejoitN in the decision of the school btf-ird building committee to give the question of providing more buddings immediate consideration. : During the past fortnight the Times in a series of articles has givsn a very conservative description of the condition into which the'public schools of Indianapolis have fallen by reason of overcrovrding and underhousing— met temporarily by resort to the use of scores of flimsily constructed portable buildings. At best such buildings are insanitary and lack the educational comforts with which every child in Indianapolis should be provided, ♦Temporary housing in abandoned residences and illy ventilated shacks may be easily explained as an emergency measure. But -he only thing that will excuse the school authorities in pe*r

HARDING CALLS BANKS TO WORLD RELIEF

JWSISIE DUMMIES 111 PfILOGROUiS 3tage Complete for Opening of 1522 WorlcPs Baseball Classic. Bv HEyRT FARRELL United Press Sports Editor NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—Fine bright skies gleamed over New York this morning for the baseball splurge of 1922. Bett.ng became brisker with the odds still slightly in favor of the Yankees. Some wagers were made at seven to five, hut the Yank money was holding off for six to five and even money. Bash to Hurl Miller Huggins, the little manager of the American Leagus champions, came out flat footed and announced that Joe Bush, his “bullet ball" star c? several years ago and this year, would do the hurling for the Yankees. John McGraw, smiling under the fe'ory of his eighth National League championship, said it wasn’t his habit to show his hand in advance, and he refused to name liis pitcher. The dopesters figured either Arthim | Nefcf, his southpaw pitching ace, or ’ Jock Scott, the huge right hander, who was discarded early last sum iter by Cincinnati Reds, would get the call to do the mound work for the Giants. It was generally believed, however. ' that Nehf would perform, on the ! dope that he is the most reliable i pitcher on the staff, and that the • known dislike of the Yanks to south- • “paw hurling would give him a good t chance to cop the opener. • Expect Capacity Crowd • Officials of both clubs were expecting a capacity crowd of 40.000 in the *big stands for the first battle of the , series. Wild reports about huge crowds storming the ramparts at • midnight kept thousands away from ‘the c ening gams last year, but the ancs of the club owners that CO,OOO seats would ha available at 10 p clock this morning did away with •’’'he old custom of the midnight lines, soap boxes and the twenty-four - (hour lunches of the super-fans. . With the exception of the Baltimore *md St. Paul renresentatives. who .ire having their little world's series, practically all the minor league u seriates and managers were on hand.

EPISODE ONE Eve CHAPTER I During the last two years Fate, Chance and Destiny had been too busy to attend to Mike Clinch. But now his turn was coming in the Eternal Sequence of things. The stars in their courses indicated the beginning of the undoing of Mike Clinch. From Esthoma a refugee Countess wrote to James Darragh in New York: " —After two years we have discovered that it was Jose Quintana's band of international thieves that robbed Ricca. Quintana has disappeared. “A Levantine diamond broker in New York, named Emanuel Sard, may be in communication with him. “Ricca and I are going to America as soon as possible. "VALENTINE." The day 'Darragh received the lette- he started to look up Sard.

mitting continued use of these makeshifts is activity which they show in providing permanent remedy. AVhatever reason may have brought about this lack of proper and sufficient housing for the school children of Indianapolis, the time is near when the school authorities must do something or admit that they have not the ability to maintain the public school system at the l.iigh standard which it enjoyed a few years ago. It is the business of the school board to spend the money of the taxpayers who elected them as wisely as they know how. But the school board members cannot lay claim to wisdom if they sleep at the switch and permit an institution so important to the city’s welfare and growth to slip backward. It is the duty of each individual member of the board to exert himself to the utmost to see that when ho retires the public schools are in at least as good condition and standing as when he took office.

That afternoon young Darragh located Sard's office and presented himself as a customer. The weasel-faced clerk behind the wicket, laid a pistol handy and informed Darragh that Sard was away on a business trip. Darragh looked cautiously around the small office: “I have important news concerning Jose Quintana." whispered Darragh; “Where is Sard?" “Why, he had a letter from Quin* tant this very morning," replied, the clerk in a low. unsteady voice. “Mr. Sard left for Alb yon the 1 o’clock train. Is there any trouble?" Darragh bored him through with his dark stare; “Mind you business,- he said. That night in Albany Darragh picked up Sard's trail. It led to a dealer in automobiles, Sard had bought a Comet Six, paying cash, and had started north.

The members of the school board will do no service to the community individually or collectively if they refuse to spend money of the taxpayers when real necessity exists for spending. Raising a generation of sickly children in poorly ventilated, badly heated and overcrowded school rooms in any part of the city is by no means intelligent saving in taxation. If such school conditions as stated by the Times do not exist, the school board may very properly make its own investigation and acquaint the public with its findings. If more and better buildings are needed to house the school children of Indianapolis healthfully and comfortably it is certainly up to the school board to let the taxpayers know the facts and to do everything possible to persuade the public that such deficiencies must he remedied somehow at any cost. There is none of us who likes the idea of more taxes. But if

the public school system cannot be maintained at highest sort oi standard without digging a little deeper into our pockets there are a lot of us who will hear the increase with a smile. “In all our cities, school taxes are increasing,’’ says the editof of a great American magazine in the current issue, and he con* tinues: “But the public bears the burden cheerfully because the schools are believed to lie at the very root of national safety and honor. We shall preserve America through making good Amer* icans out of the material offered by the rising generation.” The citizens of Indianapolis certainly have a right to expect that when the building committee of the school board holds session this coming Friday night it will do more than merely “consider” —that the committee will show unmistakable signs of definite action.

INSISTENT PROBLEMS CALL FOR ASSISTANCE, PRESIDENT DECLARES Cooperation in Adjusting Difficulties Growing Out of World War Cannot Be Longer Denied, Says Executive Message. Fy United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 4.—President Harding today urged ths financial interests of the country to aid in the financial and economic reconstruction of the world. In a message to the American Bankers’ Association convention the chief executive declared the increasing appeals of the world for American cooperation in solving the problems resulting from the war “cannot be denied.” These appeals Mr. Harding caid. “call for an application of the same spirit of wide and willing cooperation which is the very basis of the development of our banks.” “Today our country, the world, all human kind, are demanding that cooperation he extended to wider realms.” he added. After referring to the part that the bankers played daring the war, the President's message said: More Inclusive Opportunity “The banking community has always cooperated splendidly ! in national problems. “Today our country, the world, all human kind, are demanding that this cooperation be extended to wider realms —to those social, moral, ethical problems which are crying for understanding attention. They cannot be denied. they grow increasingly insistent. They call for an application of the same spirit of wise and willing cooperation which is the very basis of the bank. Agency of Social Unification “I have often thought of the bank as the first among modern 1 institutions of social unification. On the basis of a complete conj fidenee in its integrity and aims, it aggregates together in vast, ; available masses, the scattered bits of credit and resources which | otherwise would be unavailable for great undertakings, and makes possible the huge producing organizations which characterize the modern industrial community. We have come to times which require a like aggregation of the social sense, the ethical ideals, tho j moral inspirations and the best intelligence, in order to promote ! the true welfare of men individually and in communities. This I .have come to regard as the most pressing requirement of our day, and to its accomplishment I invite the assistance of you men who have been foremost among social cooperators. The world is not given to rewarding those who serve it. with opportunities for ease and pleasure. Instead, on those who have been tested and found useful, it is wont to place yet greater burdens. To a full share iu {these obligations I am now urgently inviting you. Maintained Throughout World “By experience, knowledge and aims, you bankers are peculiarly equipped to render the largest service in this wider sphere. It has long bene my observance that the leadership of the banking forces in the local community is ever effective and devoted to community welfare; and the same helpful relationship must he maintained throughout the Nation and in the Nation's outside relations. jW “Therefore, in recommitting our people to sane expenditures, to ways of economy and thrift, to the consideration of municipal and national problems in that conscience which builds the temple confidence, the banking forces must lead, and we must have the widest commitment to the prudence, the deliberate understanding and the preference for useful service which make for the security of our people as a whole. “History teaches that blind efforts to obstruct such' movements have often produced momentary disaster, but never prevented ultimate advance. The world is too old. and ought to ho too wise, to resort to such tactics now. Rather, its best intelligence should be given to openminded competition in every earnest project of inquiry . ; and analysis which looks to the general betterment. Thus will its most capable leadership help guide society away from pitfalls and dangers, while keeping it moving on the upward path. “1 count the men of your profession as among such leaders, and 1 know that whoever can effectively impress you with the full importance of the duty 1 am suggesting, will find satisfaction in the prompfc nnd etgernrespouse u ,
