W. McCardle, chairman of ths pub

tice was assigned as the principal
reason for the absence of any further
attempt to prohteer against the coal
consuming public. McCardle said.
Investigation by the commission,
which followed closely the investiga-
tion by The Times revealed that
hundreds Of cars Of coal were stand
ing on sidetracks near Indianapolis

merce, In communications from Wash

operation between manufacturers and
business men and the railroads in an
effort to facilitate distribution Of coal
The chamber has asked few things
OF each manufacturer:
/. Conflne purchases OF coal under
present conditions closely to current
needs only.
2. Suspend accumulation OF advance
stocks Of coal until the present emer-
gency pressure on production Is
relieved
8. Unload cars Immediately and re-
turn them.

Business Director Says Relief
for Schools Would Result
Temporarily.
POINTS TO BIG EXPENSE
Different Opinion Held by Graft
Thinks Vocational Work
Most important.

Fear that vocational education and
instruction in the household arts OF
sewing and cooking will overshadow
the academic subjects In the curriculum
Of the Indianapolis school child was
expressed by Walter Twiname, bust
ness director Of the Indianapolis pub
lie schools. Temporary abolition OF
the subjects and use Of rooms 70
teach academic subjects was suggested
by Tw.name as a solution for the
housing p4oblem.
Investigation Of buildings constr uct
ed during the past two school years
shows an expenditure for elementary
schools Of S2,259.426. THIS was spent
for four new buildings and six add
tions, containing 121 rooms, forty
three Of which are devoted 10 sub
jects Tw.name suggests be abolished
Vocational Expenditures
More than thirty-flve per cent of the
money was for shops. cooking and
sewing rooms. according to figures
prepared by Frank L. Reisner, secre
tary. Tia number of rooms used for
vocational and household arts educa
ton is taken from a statement by
Harry f Wood head OF the depart
ment Of vocational training.
The majority of these rooms. accord
ing to E. L. Graft. superintendent OF
schools, are basement rooms and un-
fitted for class instruction. Those in
the recently constructed buildings
however. are faced with glazed brick
and some OF thom have as many as
six lights in them,
THE elimination OF those subjects
would not free enough rooms to take
care of our academic needs Gran
said.
He pointed out that manual instruc-
ton had been cut to the minimum in
the grade schools. being taught only
in the seventh and eighth grades.
Crafts Opinion Differs
The activity provided by manual
instr child.
Gran sslu.
THE American people believe in
education and are willing TO pay what
ever II costs" he said. II they believe
the money Is TO be used wisely"
Manual instruction is necessary TO
the modern school curriculum. Graf
said. and that Is what the American
parents are demanding.
The compulsory attendance law
raising the age children may leave
school. the fact school boards in the
past have failed to provide for the
normal increase. the new tax law is
not functioning properly, and the eco
nomic condition which causes more
children to attend school in the time
Of depression. coupled with the fact
that no buildings were erected during
the war. at the request of the Gov
ernment, were given by Graf as roa'
sons why Indianapolis is behind in
her school building plan.
