All members report increases, he said, and ‘he anticipates further increases during the winter. Restaurants, he said, are ‘plagued by taxes, the cost of food, and circumstance that general sala: have not vet caught up with advancing prices.” The average Indianapolis family goes to between 25 and 30 per cent more movie shows now than at this fime last year, one downtown theater manager estimated.

c——F anything we may undertake,” 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 | sues bearing upon the curricula res | 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: or shall
so, what type and how extensively? 3. Is the ultimate goal of our high schools the reconstruction of so= ciety, or is it the proper task of the schogls 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 program of education is to go forward.” Mr. Stetson said. “The building program of thé commissioners is the only satisfactory answer to a problem which yearly grows more EcRieR >, "The superintendent said that increased retention of pupils in hight — 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 66 in the twelfth grade., The high schools not only are having larger numbers enroll in the ninth grade (freshman year), but they are hold= ing 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 vision, loyal and diligence of the classroom teachers
