From Jan. 1 ‘o Sept. 1 this year there were 15,186 new car registrations as against 11.154 last year over the same period. | This is borne out in state gasoline | tax receipts which, for the first] eight! months of 1936 were $13,907 - | $12,461,457.75 for | the corresponding period of last year, a difference of $1,445947.60. In August this year the receipts | ®ere $2,126,013, as against $1,906,- | 517 in August last year, a difference | of $219,495 between the months.

Workers in Demand

Some of the reasons for these in- | creases are shown in estimated busi- | ness surveys. H. A. Rogers, Building | Supply Dealers Institute secretary, | said that demand for the building trade attisans is higher in Indianapolis now than at any time since | 11929.. He said there would be al {let down this winter, perhaps, but | {that it “won't be anyway nears the | | let down there was last year.” | Thz outlook, he said, is decidedlv cheerful in his business, and he attributes it both to public buildling and private enterprise. The Indiana farmer; drought{ridden as he was this summer | probably will have a greater aggregate income than last year's $240,- | 000,000, agricultural economists say. Price increases will account for { it, they said, even though the pro- | duction is down. ‘They point out, too, that farm income: is. new, or created wealth, and therefore imsortant to every citizen economictally. J. J Rogers, Indiana‘ Canners’ Association’ secretary, struck a dark note when hé said there will not be as many wages paid in his industry, nor as many cans used, because the crop of tomatoes is only esti{mated to be 68 per cent of normal { while the sweet corn crop was: esti- | mated §o be but 30 per cent of normal.

| |

Grain Sales Bring Profit,

However, Fred Sale, Indiana | Grain Dealers’ Association secre-

car barns, |

in |

| tary, representing approximately { 500 county elevators, said his busi- | ness had been “more satisfactory | | this year than the last two or three | in spite of the drought.” The margin of profit was greater, | he said, and prices paid to farmers for wheat and oats were better than usvally are paid at harvest time. Both wheat and oats, he said, were of excellent quality. Corn will not make a half crop, he said. Mrs. J.,C. Claffey, Indiana Hotel Association -secretary, said business in Indiana hotels is about 15 per cent. better this year than last, and divided responsibility for the in{crease about equally between room {rent and cafe and dining room | service. ; | Indianapolis newspaper advertising lineage is up. There were, in | round numbers, about 750,000 more lines of retail advertising -in daily | and Sunday papers so far this year than for the same period of 1935. Total approximate lineage gain! in all papers and in all classes is! 1,665,000 lines to date over the first eight months of last year.

3-DAY SESSION FOR TEACHERS

| Schools Should Not Try to Remake World, He Says.

(Continued from Page One) undertake,”

anything we may he said. Revision of courses for sopho=more, junior and senior years of high school is the problem upon which attention is focused chiefly, { Mr. Stetson said, raising three iss i sues bearing upon the curricula ree { vision. They were: 1. Will a single curriculum, coms= mon to all, be presented, or should { such offerings be varied to meet more nearly individual needs? 2. Shall the curricula be general and college preparatory, or shall vocational training be included? If so, what type and-how extensively? 3. Is the ultimate goal of our high schools the reconstruction of society, or is it the proper task of the schools to help their students in adjusting themselves to society as they find it?

Stresses Building Need The need of adequate buildings was stressed by Mr. Stetson, who emphasized particularly the need for additional high schools. “School buildings adequate in size, safe in construction, properly equipped and efficiently staffed are . essential if any progressive pro= gram of education is to go forward” Mr. Stetson said. “The building program of the commissioners is the only satisfactory answer to a problem which yearly grows more acute.” The superintendent said that ine creased retention of pupils in high schools was an important factor in the housing Situation. “In 1909,” he said, “for each 100 pupils in the second grade there were only 15 in the twelfth grade, whereas in 1933 for each 100 pupils in the second grade there were 6§ in the twelfth grade. The high schools not only are’having larger 1 numbers enroll in the ninth grade (freshman year), but they are holding these pupils much longer than they ever have before.” Emphasizes Teachers Influence Mr. Stetson pointed out the influence of .the teacher upon the pupil and lauded the staff. He said: "It is only through the pision, loyal and diligence of the classroom teachers that real accomplishments are pos= sible. The kind of a person the teacher is counts more toward ine fluencing the children’s attitudes toward life than that which is taught them. Serenity, poise, self= confidence and sympathetic under= standing are important qualifica= tions of the teacher,” he said.When city school bells ring for the first time at 8330 a. m. next Tuesday, approximately 3000 pupils are expected to enroll in the frst grade, Mr. Stetson said. All high school pupils enrolling for the first time ate to report at 1:30 p. m. Tuesday, and are ex=pected to total about 1200. Re= turning high school pupils are to meet at 8:15 a. m. Tuesday. s Mr. Stetson also lauded the pew textbook rental plan- for the thi ; to seventh grades inclusive, which he said would save parents about $75,000 annually. i.
