Not Vocational Plan
Later, the school board paid Wood
his $25 and added $50 more making
the whole equipment worth 500 at
the end of two years. At present,
the total value of grade school print
shop equipment is approximately
$40, 800.
Wood never lost interest in his

was to establish print shops in the
other city schools for general educa-
ton purposes.

shops. The cost of the standard
eouipment of each one is $4,000.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Small abandoned Press
Led to School Printing

A little Pilot press, some type
cases and planers and a prayer,
discovered seventeen years ago in an
attic under the rafters of School No.
45-now the William Watson Wool
en- School-was the beginning of
printing in indianapolis grade
schools.
The press was a wobbly affair,
covered with a thick coat of dust
and CRIME, and of such peculiar de-
sign that ordinary type could not be
used with it.
But it held possibilities for Harry
E. Wood, then a teacher at School
No. 9 and now director of the vo-
cational education and manual
training departments Of Indianapo-
lis schools.
Wood, with two boys, found the
press when there was not a single

piece of printing equipment in an
indianapolis grade school.
Type Was Too Large
1.-THE boys wanted to explore the
attic" he explained. "They opened
a door and found the press in an
alright closet. We dragged it out,
but found that all the type we had
was too large. Later I found a boy
in school, who owned toy printing
outfit and his type fit our press. I
didn't have the money then to buy
the type so the principal of my
school, Miss Marian Lee Webster,
advanced $25 and we bought it,"
There were many missing letters
in the type and more money was
needed to replace them. Finally. by
scraping together another SIS Wood
set up a shop with $50 worth CT
equipment.

SQUARE DEAL,
Lew WALLACE
+ SCHOOLS AIM
Normal Misfits Often Prove
Brightest When Troubles
Get Attention.

"Why did come to this school?
Because a fellow can do something
and get square deal!'"
This was what Earl Somebody
told Mrs. Angela Mo1er, principal of
the Lew Wallace School No. II when
he came to her unexpectedly one
day-a truant from another school.
In an address before the Educa-
ton Committee of the Chamber of
Commerce Wednesday, Mrs. Moler
told about the work of the newly
established special school at No. IL
and about the Earls that come to
her attention every day.
Truant From Own School
Earl was a truant, Mrs. Moler told
the committee. He had deliberately
run away from his own grade school
and come to No. II. Upon investi-
cation, she found that he had not
advanced with the other pupils. He
was restless and disinterested and
always in trouble. He wanted to
"do something and get a square
deal"
"EIis conduct in his own school
may have branded him as abb
normal" she explained. "But what
ever I learn about his intelligence
quotient, I think he is one of the
brightest little fellows in the world.
He had the intelligence to know
what he needed"
The aim of the school, according
to Mrs. Moler, is to supply the nor
NAL misf1ts of the elementary
schools with what they need but
are not getting in that environ
ment. It differs from other schools
in that it attempts to care for
childrenS' individual differences and
to make the instruction fit those diff
ferences.
Blame Working Mothers
The roster of the school is built
up of pupils transferred from other
schools because they did not fit into
their classes there, Mrs. Moler said
further. Some are above and below
average representing the most per-
sistent cases of truancy and dis
turbance.
working mothers" was named by
Mrs. Moler as one Of the causes of
poor home conditions which make
the children unable to fit in the Or
binary school environment. She said
that one-fifth Of the student body
at No. II were children from homes
where there were no fathers wages
and one-fourth from families where
the mother helps earn the living.
Many Homes Broken
"Seven per cent are foreign born, -
she said. Many are from large
families with small incomes. Of the
homes represented, one out of every
three is broken and one-half of the
children has been at some time in
juvenile court.
Happily, the board Of school
commissioners has provided in the
Lew Wallace School a building fitted
to the needs of this type of school"
she said. "Plans are being made to
provide extensive vocational train
Ing for boys and girls.
1.-THE shop work of the boys will
include training in woodworking,
sheet metal, printing. concrete work,
upholstering, electrical connection,
physical training, mechanical draw
ing, music and art. The girls will
study household art, costume de-
signing, foods, home nursing and
personal hygiene"
