SCHOOL 12 HAS WIDE PROGRAM OF ACTIVITIES Special Classes Offered Pupils Finding Usual Courses Difficult. The most varied program of studies and activities in Indianapolis grade schools is offered at Robert Dale Owen school, No. 12. Facilities are at hand to take fare of pupils, whether they be slightly underdeveloped or perfectly healthy, whether they be mentally alert or a trifle backward in some subjects. The opportunity class provides a chance for boys who do not accommodate themselves readily to academic and artistic subjects, such as English, geography and drawing. Boys Learn Two Trades This class was started by Miss Kate Knowlton, formerly principal at Owen school, and Mrs. Margaret McCarty, the present teacher. A similar class is given at Clemens Vonnegut School, No. 9, at 407 North Fulton street. Members of the class are boys between the ages of 14 and 17. Printing and woodwork are stressed, twice as much instruction in these subjects being given as is given to other pupils. Girls who have fallen behind in their regular school w'ork are given a similar training. They are not under the supervision of a single teacher as are the boys, but their studies are presented them in a similar fashion. Cooking, Weaving for Girls Subjects emphasized among the girls are cooking and weaving. Three fresh air classes at Owen school supplement the work of Theodore Potter Fresh Air School 74, at 1601 East Tenth street. The ninety pupils in the three classes are provided with heavy coats, so they will not catch cold in rooms where the windows are always open. Each class Is given two periods of a half hour each every day for rest. A sleeping room is provided with cots and blankets to make these rests comfortable. Unique Orchestra Formed In addition, the school has a primary orchestra of thirty children from the second and third grades. This group is unique in that it has only such instruments as tamborines, bells, clogs, cymbals, rhythm sticks and drums made of oatmeal boxes. It is in charge of Miss Rosa McNamara. The orchestra has a repertoire of four numbers. Besides these activities, Owen school has the usual clubs for children interested particularly some phase of the school curriculum. SCHOOL 27 TEACHERS WILL HEAR C. F. REMY “Layman’s Views on Education” to Be Topic This Afternoon. Former Judge Charles F. Remy will talk to the teachers of Charity Dye school No. 27, Park avenue and Seventeenth street, in the school auditorium this afternoon. His topic will be “A Layman’s Views on Education.” Teachers from William Watson Woollen school No. 45. at 2301 Park avenue, and Oliver P. Morton school No. 29 at 2101 College avenue, will be guests. The lecture is to be the first of a series of professional meetings, which will be held this school year.

ROOK WEEK IS FEATURED BY MANYEXHIBITS Story Telling Hours Also Top Program in City Schools, Libraries. Story telling hours and book exhibits will feature Good Book week 1 which is being observed by the schools and libraries of the city this week. Theme of the week is “ ’Round the World in Books,” and the reason for the topic is the unusual public interest in international relations. The books suggested aim at promotion of world friendship. Exhibits are on display at the central library and at the various branches. In the Riley room at central library, the exhibit is made up of miniature figures representing such famous figures of history and fiction as Henry VIII, Charles I, a knight with his attendants, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Rabbit and the Mad March Hare. They were brought from London, Eng., by Miss Evelyn Sickles, head of the school libraries division at central library. ‘Railroad Booth’ Built Another exhibit stresses books which may be bought for from 10 cents to a dollar. Many of these are new prints of old books. Irvington branch library, playing up the “Round the World” idea, has built a railroad ticket booth. Children use “railroad tickets” instead of library cards in checking out books. ? Broad Ripple branch library will hold a story-telling hour Saturday at which the children will wear costumes of their favorite fiction characters. The children’s department of the library has issued six leaflets suggesting books on mystery, the American Indians, child life in other countries, Boy Scout work, aviation and general books for boys. More than 650 books are suggested in the lists. Siple’s Book Boosted Following Admiral Byrd’s voyage to Little America there has been a number of books published on the Esquimaux dogs, penquins, and now even Igloo’s biography has been written. One story that every boy will want to read is that written by Eagle Scout Paul Siple, “A Boy Scout With Byrd.” It tells how he was chosen to accompany Admiral Byrd and his memorable adventure. Other stories recommended by the children’s department are: “THE SCARLET COCKEREL,’ 1 by C. M. Sublette—The tale of the attempt to found a Hueuuenot colony in Carolina. “AMERICA’S STORY AS TOLD IN POSTAGE STAMPS.” by Edward M. Allen —An entertaining history of the country, linked up with the descriptions of stamps, which commemorated certain historical facts. “Bastable Children,”by E. Nesbit—Some thoroughly delightful stories of the children of a large English family, who are continually getting into mischief. “JINGLEBOB,” by Philip A.

Mayor Carl Wins High Favor With All of His Constituents. “Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown,” says an old proverb, but it doesn’t apply when it comes to Carl Roberts, 1848 West Maryland street. Carl is mayor of Wide Awake Health Town, made up of pupils in the IB grade at John McCormick school No. 30 at 40 North Miley avenue. In spite of the many ofißcial duties that press him for time, his constituents report that they are satisfied completely with his work. Carl refuses to be quoted as to his possible candidacy at the next election. A Milk-Drinking Town Among the activities under is charge is the inspection by the doctor and the nurse from the health department of Wide/Awake. All the citizens drink milk. The mayor has successfully met the traffic problem. Two traffic officers operate stop and go signals during the rush hours. “Streets” and “lawns” of the city are kept clean by the concerted efforts of the citizenry. Each “property owner” who keeps his premises clean is reported by the street cleaning department at the weekly meeting of the civic council. Even Has a Paper The “city library” is presided over by a librarian who checks the library cards and does not permit a child to take out a book until he really has read the last one. The “Health Town News,” an administration paper, is published daily and carries the latest news reports. Most important feature of the paper is the weekly announcement of the pupils who have made the highest grades in their studies. And band concerts the town’s rhythm band plays every day while the rest of the citienzs listen. After the concert the entire population goes to the Health Town restaurant, where milk helps them to keep in step with the name of their town.

He made a treaty with the Pilgrims in 1621 which kept peace between the white men and the Indians for fifty years. Instruments which came into the western world through the Mediterranean countries will predominate in Tuesday’s musical program. Most of the oriental instruments now in use in the occidental countries found their way west through that section. Program of the broadcast will be “Turkish March,’’ by Beethoven; “Hymn to Apollo.” a Greek folk song; “Kol Nidrei,” the Hebrew chant; “March of the Three Kings,” a Provencal song; “When the Nightingale Shall Sing,” Troubadour song, and Aragonaise from “Carmen,” by Bizet.

Mothers, Mix This At Home for a Bad Cough

You’ll be pleasantly surprised when you make up this simple home mixture and try it for a distressing cough due to a cold. It takes but a moment to mix, costs little, and saves money, but it can be depended upon to give quick and lasting relief. Get 2ounces of Pinex from any druggist. Pour this into a pint bottle; then fill it with plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey. The full pint thus made costs no more than a small bottle of ready-made medicine, yet it is much more effective.' It is pure, keeps perfectly and children love its pleasant taste. This simple remedy has a remarkable three-fold action. It goes right to the seat of trouble, loosens the germladen phlegm, and soothes away the inflammation. Part of the medicine is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly upon the bronchial tubes and thus helps inwardly to throw off the whole trouble with surprising ease. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in a refined, palatable form, and known as one of the greatest medicinal agents for severe coughs and bronchial irritations. Do not accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.

His honor, the mayor of Wide Awake Health Town, Carl Roberts, leaving the city hall, otherwise known as John McCormick school No. SO, at 40 North Miley avenue.

PLATOON PLAN APPROVED BY SWEEPING VOTE Pupils Take New System by Great Verdict of 1,000 to 3. The vote stands 1,000 to 3 in fa- | vor of the new platoon system of ! teaching introduced into two Indianapolis elementary schools this fail. Pupils being taught under the new system at school No. 16, Bloomington and Market streets, and Eleanor S. Skillen school, No. 34, Wade and Boyd streets, were asked recently to state whether they did or did not prefer the platoon plan or the system under which they were taught last year. Only three registered disapproval to the platoon system. The platoon system also Is known as the work-study-play plan. It was originated by William Wirt in the schools at Bluffton, Ind., in 1906. Started in Gary in 1907 He became superintendent of schools at Gary in 1907, and set his plan into working order there. L, E. Hall, principal at School No, 16, and H. G. Knight, at Skillen school, are the two men who have given the plan a start in Indianapolis. As worked out in the two Indianapolis schools, the plan means that, the schools can accommodate apj proximately 40 per cent more pupils. ■ and that no additional teachers will ! be needed to instruct the additional ; numbers. The schools are divided into two J sections. Section 1 starts the day ! with academic subjects, such as reading or geography. Section 2, at the same time, takes up some special subject like nature study or physical training. Sections Change Tlares After three thirty-minute periods, the sections change places. Under the plan now practiced in the other eighty-five of Indianapolis grade schools, pupils stay in the same room all day, excepting the periods when they are taking physical training. And when the physical training period is i- progress, their room is left vacant. An average of thirty-five to forty rooms are left vacant in a week under this system. At Skillen school under the platoon plan, one room is vacant once a week. At school No. 16, every room is used during every period of the week. Teachers Can Specialize Those who favor the work-study-play system point out that the pupil is presented with an enriched program. He gets more art, more nature study, more time in the auditorium, and more attention in physical education and organized play. The platoon plan also gives the teachers a chance to specialize. They teach only the subjects in which they are best prepared. Instead of one teacher instructing the class in every subject, the pupils move from room to room, taking a different subject from each teacher. The plan, in this way, allows rooms to be specially equipped. One room is given over to art exclusively. Another is used only for study of history. Principals and teachers in platoon plan schools report that order and deportment are much improved. They say this condition is due to the fact that the pupils move from one classroom to another instead of remaining in one room for long periods and becoming restless. A second reason for the improved deportment is the superior organization of the play periods.
