TRADES SCHOOL IS INAUGURATED TO AIOPUPILS Nos. 9 and 12 Courses Aimed to Adapt Boys in Chosen Lines. Adaptation of education to meet the needs of the individual pupil is the aim of the two opportunity schools, at Clemens Vonnegut school No. 9, Vermont and Fulton streets, and at Robert Dale Owen school No. 12, 733 South West street. Those who are admitted to these schools are boys who do not accommodate themselves readily to such subjects as English, grammar, and history. In the opportunity schools, these pupils are given courses in printing, mill work, and other crafts. One-third of each day's work is devoted to shop and printing work. Ages of pupils of the opportunity school range from 13 to 17. At present, twenty-two boys are Enrolled at school No. 12, while at No. 9, twenty are registered. The plan was originated by Mrs. Mary Knowlton, former principal at school No. 12. She worked with Miss Margaret McCarty, a teacher at the school, in establishing it. At School No. 9, the idea developed independently at a later date. Miss Kate Mason, former principal, studied the system at Denver, Colo., and worked with the ideas received there in creating the second opportunity school. The Denver schools were a development of the war. Practically all of the progress which has been made along the line of individual instruction has been made since that time.

10,000 CITY PUPILS PREPARE GIFTS TO SEND ACROSS SEA Promotion of Friendship With Foreign Lands Is Goal, As Grade Schools Work on Huge Christmas ‘Bag.’ Another step toward making closer friendships betw-een the children of the United States and those of other nations is being taken by the Junior Red Cross this fall. Under the sponsorship of this organization, approximately 10.000 pupils of twenty grade schools in Indianapolis are preparing Christmas gifts which will be sent to foreign lands. In charge of the project Is E. H. Kemper McComb, principal of Emmerich Manual Training high school, and chairman of the junior division of the Red Cross. School children are busy this week filling boxes with toys—not just any kind of toys, but playthings which they have made themselves.

More than 1,000 boxes of dolls, soldiers, chairs, dressing tables, doll clothes, puzzles, balls, and airplanes are expected to be brought to Manual Training high school, from where they will be forwarded to New York City. McComb has notified all those who are sending playthings that Thursday, Oct. 15, is the deadline for their gifts. In return for these presents, the children of the other countries make up gifts which they send to the United States. Last year, In-

dianapolis was the recipient of presents from Japan and from Poland. Another project of the Junior Red Cross is the making of menu covers for the Christmas dinner aboard the battleships of the United States navy. Art departments of several grade schools and of Manual Training high school are working on ideas. The United States navy is putting parachutes made of cotton through a series of rigid tests.

SHOES, BOOKS BOUGHT WITH PUBUCFUNDS Social Service Department so Schools Gives Aid to 1.685 Children. Clothing, shoes and books were provided 1.685 children by the social service department of the public schools during September, according to William A. Hacker, director. The figures this year show an increase of 32 per cent over the number taken care of in September, 1930, when 1,284 pupils were given aid. While the number of pupils helped rose 32 per cent, the increased cost of the necessities only 28 per cent, Tacker reported. During last school year, 7,090 school children received aid. If the rest of this year holds to the same ratio as September, almost 9.400 pupils will be on the lists of the social service department. Similarly, if the costs of the department are 28 per cent higher rliroughout the year than they were last year, the total amount spent will be approximately $54,000.
