BOTANY STUDY BARDEN BACKED BY EDUCATORS Kern’s Suggestion is Hailed as ‘Good Idea’ by School Chief. Indianapolis educators today viewed with approval a proposed municipal botanical garden. The garden, suggested yesterday by Mayor Kern to the City Park Ttoard, was termed a "very good idea” by Schools Superintendent Paul C. Stetson. Mr. Stetson and other educators, however, pointed out that She proposed garden's location might have much to do with its adaptability to ♦he use of science and botany students in the city. Mr. Stetson pointed out that Technical High School had a botanical garden. Carden Needed, Stetson Says “Os course, we need a garden where rare plants and flora could be studied,” he said. E. Kemper McComb, Manual Training High School principal, mentioned the fact that the city had Woollen’s Gardens, north of the city, as a possible location for the garden. Woollen’s Gardens was given to the city bv William Watson Woollen. father of Evans Woollen Sr., for use as a botanical garden. Backed by Principals Mr. McComb suggested that because of the proximity to Garfield Tark and the greenhouses there that Garfield might V. in ideal location, at, least from ,ne standpoint of students of Manual. "Greenhouses could be added to the present equipment at Garfield and the park could be made an ideal place,’’ he said. George Buck, Shortridge High School principal, said: "It would be a very fine thing if we could afford it. We have at Shortridge many varieties of plants in our court. It is a beauty spot that few people see. Naturally Shortridge students would derive benefit more easily If the garden Was in the northern section of the city.” Meeting to Be Called Mr. Stetson said he, as well as school board members and science teachers, w'ould be glad to aid the city in formulating plans for the establishment of the botanical gardens. A. C. Sallee, city park superintendent. said a meeting of botany teachers and educators would be railed to formulate plans for the garden. The plans are to be presented to the board next fall. Mayor Kern has suggested that the gardens be managed co-oper-atively by the Park Board and the city garden clubs. Riverside and Holliday parks have been suggested as possible sites by city officials.

Thinks Depression Ending “I hesitated about leaving,” he added, "because I think we have just turned the depression tide. The university’s financial situation is better now than at any other time during my administration.” “When the union is brought about,” he said, "the Methodist Church will be the largest religious organization in the world outside the Catholic Church. It is likely to have profound influence in the social changes ahead by providing society the unifying power of a great ideal ” Bishop Oxman, credited with centraling administrative functions and launching an extensive building program during his term at De Pauw, is to continue in office
