Better Housing, Curriculum, Adult Program and Services Urged.

More adequate housing facilities, a better curriculum, broader adult education and extended school services were| urged today by Virgil Stinebaugh, superintendent of the Indianapolis Public schools. ; He spoke at noon today before the Junior Chamber of Commerce. In presenting steps for a planned educational program Mr, Stinebaugh urged the “Jaycees” and all other

schools where the population has declined and adequate lighting, heating and ventilating with attractive decorating of all classrooms, the speaker said. “Our new elementary schools should have kindergarten rooms, rooms for health clinics, larger playgrounds, and better indoor facilities for physical . education,” the superintendent said. “Our high schools need better facilities for physical education and intramural sports. All schools should be ‘equipped for a more extended use of the radio and visual education materials,” Personalized instruction, smaller classes for each teacher, earlier contacts with pre-school age chil-| dren through health and educational clinics for parents, babies, and three-year-olds leading to kindergartens, for all five-year-olds, Mr. Stinebaugh listed also as necessary,

Services Outlined

Naming extended school services, he included extensive courses for veterans, displaced war workers, youth who have dropped out of high school and for others who wish to study specialized subjects, | “If youth is to be adequately prepared for civic duties, we must develop plans whereby young people may join with adults and carry on community activities i” the role of junior partners, and giye them a chance to secure specialized civic training on an apprenticeship basis,” » Mr. Stinebaugh concluded.
