CAIN IN PUPILS 3
CITED TO SHOW
BUILDING NEEDS
Schools Are 1890 Students
Behind in Housing Pro-
gram, Says DaIman.

Increase Of 2,5S5 pupils in ele-
mentary and high schools of In.
dianapolis is shown in preliminary
figures on enrolment compiled by
Murray N. Dalman, director of re-
search.
These figures are based on first
enrolment figures for this year and
last year.
Gain Over Other Years
Increase of 1907 elementary pupils
was shown this year. Total enroll.
ment shown by first reports from
schools this year was 39,858, as COM
pared with 1854 for last year. This
is a greater increase than the aver
age over long period of years.
Increase of 1928 pupils was shown
in the first high school reports. For
the last four years the annual in
crease for high schools has been only
about 700.
Although approximately sixty
five classrooms were completed for
elementary grades during the past
school fiscal year, the school city a
still far behind on its building pro-
gram, Dalman said.
Need New Buildings
To keep pace with the average
elementary increase in enrolment
of 1000, addition of thirty rooms
ach year is necessary, he said. Dur
ing the war the building program
was almost wholly abandoned and
it has only been in the past few
years that efforts we're made TO
catch up, he added.
At the end of the fiscal year,
June 81, the elementary schools were
approximately 5000 pupils behind in
the housing program. Increase this
fall brings this figure to more than
1890 pupils behind, equal to 1O9
rooms, Dalman said.

Pupil, Recreation Plan

all pupils can play and obtain ex-
ercise during school recess" he
said.
1--WE favor supervised recreation
periods for the reason that all pu-
pills take part, whereas when there
is no supervision only the more ac-
tive pupils take part and those
pupils needing exercise the most
stand around.
Fairgrounds Are Assigned
"For schools to attempt to pro-
vide sufficient playground equip
ment for al pupils of school to
use during a fifteen minute recess
period would be impossible"
Dallman explained that school

LII The Gays when AuSCln BrOWIA,
Clemens Vonnegut, John p. F1enzel
and William A. Bell were among the
members Of the school board, Muel-
Ter came to Indianapolis.
Interested in Athletics
He first taught in the Indianapolis
High School. He was interested in
athletics. Among those whom he
recalls having taken on long hikes
and skating parties are Booth
Harrington, Henry Dithmer, Rein
hold Miller, William Thompson, DIR.
o. G. Pfaff, DR.. Thomas E. Court
ney and DR.. George A. Reissner.
Early in his Indianapolis career,
Mueller began working for Con-
tinuation Schools for the benefit of
the factory workers. Within year
he had organized a group Of citizens
interested in the same ideas. Some
of them we're Otto Stechan, Conrad
Bauer, Nicholas Jose, Conrad Bend
er and an architect named Bohlen.
Led to Manual Training School
Mueller's work finally ended in
the establishment of night school
in the old German-E English Academy
building on Maryland st. Here
Mueller taught at nights, at the
same time teaching classes in the
daytime in the old annex to the
present Shortridge High School.
The Continuation School specialized
in drawing and mathematics and
at one time had $50 workmen en-
rolled.
In the meantime, he carried on
experiments in teaching, drawing
and manual training with the help
Of George w. BaSs, Roda Selleck
and others.
II believe that the idea we worked
out in thSse experiments and in the
Continuation School eventually led
to the founding of Manual Training
High School," the veteran instructor
said.
Still Active on Faculty
Although Eugene Mueller is the
high school father of several genera
tons of Shortridge students, he is
Still an active and energetic member
of the faculty. He teaches five large
history classes daily, cares for the
large session room, and has charge
of the entire locker system of the
school.
Mueller lives with his wife and
daughter at 1852 Churchrnan Ave.
His son, is a young business man of
