LONDON TOPS
PARIS CRASHES
More Killed, Hurt in Great
Britain Than France.
3 Head-see Puzzle
BY JOHN O'BRIEN
United Press stan Correspondent

PARIS, Dec. 31-Reckless as they
are, the taxi chauffeurs of Paris
cause less danger to persons lives
than their comrades Of London, who
are reputed to be the safest and
soundest drivers in the world.
For the year 1926. street acct
dents caused by automobiles in
France resulted in 2160 deaths.
while the figures for England for the
same period were 4,015.
In that year there were 9Ol 900
automobiles in the French streets.
while in England there were $4,000.
Allowing for the difference in the
number of vehicles, the percentage
OF deaths in France was 0.24 against
0.40 for England.
According to an official report to
the minister of the interior, the
2,l60 accidents in 1926 were due to
che following causes: Speeding, 752;
failure to observe rules, 679; i'm
prudence of the victims, 405; unde-
termined. 324.
Traffic experts have been study
ing the problem of Paris streets for
years. 1t is difficult to find a solu-

opportunity, prevocational, and
schools for mental defect.
1t is rather hard to secure teach
ers for schools of this kind. because
no institutions train for this work.
Indianapolis has gone forward
slowly. but steadily with this work
adjusting the plan to suit conditions
as they appear.
Night Schools
Indianapolis has always tried to
meet the demand for adult ed
ucation without any special cam
paign for enrolment. Schools are
proposed in certain districts an6 ad-
vertised TO open on certain date.
If the required number appear to
enroll. the school is continued; if
not. it is closed.
Chief among the activities are
classes in elementary academic
work, English for foreigners, citizen
ship and Americanization classes.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-12-31

erty. Funds for this purpose are
provided by the Parent-Teachers
Association, the indianapolis Foun-
dalton, the Altrusa Club and by in
terested individuals.
There is a need for closer rela-
tionship between the school and the
home The Parent Teacher Asso-
Citations have helped. The home
visitor Is another means to this end.
Formerly the teacher herself made
these contacts, but increase in size
of classes, the increase in the
amount Of work to be done and the
semi-annual promotions make it
impossible for the teacher to know
much, If anything, about the indi-
vidual child from personal contact,
with the home.
With the opening of schools this
fall an addition to School No. 70 of
two ninety-minute manual training
periods week, half of which is
spent in the print shop and the
other half in woodworking and
mechanical drawing.
Practically all manual training
centers in the city now have this
double period schedule of work. In
a number of grade school centers the
equipment in woodworking shops has
been supplemented to include ia
cilities for teaching sheet metal
work, ornamental concrete work
and elementary electricity.
Cooperative Vocational Glass
A cooperative class for persons
engaged in the plumbing trade was
established recently. One after
noon week employers release their
employees without loss of pay, that
they may go to school and study
things particularly related to the
plumbing trade Plans for extend
ing these cooperative classes into
other fields had to be set aside for
the present due to the limited
budget.
Illustrative materials used In the
Indianapolis schools are handled
through the educational museum.
This material is produced by the
museum and turned over to the
teachers special library for distri-
button.
In providing for the educational
needs Of children, certain special in
dividuals appear for whom the adj
justment from the regular curricu-
lum must be so great that it can not
be made in the regular class room
by the regular teacher.
Whenever a sufficient number of
similar cases is found, a special
curriculum group is formed. These
groups are made necessary by
physical and mental conditions.
Schools of several types are in
Guided in this group: Fresh air,

GROWTH MADE
BY SCHOOLS IN
INDIANAPOLIS
Two High Buildings Erected
and Many Expanded;
More Courses Offered.
BY MURRAY A. DALMAN


Director Of Research. indianapolis Public
schools
The growth Of a school city can
readily be shown by Numbers en-
rolled. by value Of property, by num-
Der of teachers, by number Of class
rooms added and in other ways; but
the educational growth improve
ment which is just as steady and
vastly more important can not be so
readily shown.
This has been a successful year.
Two new high schools have gone
into service. a third is nearing com
pletion and plans for additional ia
cilities at another are being formu-
lated. Additions have been COM
pleted to several elementary schools,
two new buildings, 81 and AZ, have
been placed in service and another,
No IS, will be ready for occupancy
in January. Plans for future addi-
tons and buildings are under way
so that the plan Of providing proper
housing for all the children may not
be interrupted
With the increase of facilities,
more and more emphasis could be
placed on educational development
and the results are beginning to ap-
pear.
Music Makes Progress
Music department has witnessed
steady growth in several lines Of
activity. instrumental classes in
both elementary and high schools

habit formation as applied to hand
writing.
Emphasis is placed on writing as
routine expression and not as drill
work. The material is specially
adapted to the grades in which it
is given.
The principal aim in teaching
writing is to develop a ready means
of expression which shall be ac-
quired as naturally and with as lit
tie strain as possible on the part of
the child and which shall meet the
demand of legibility on the part Of
the reader.
Domestic Science
For the past two decades the idea
that education is part Of life it
self and not mere preparation for
life, has been steadily gaining in
favor in the educational world.
Therefore, in teaching foods and
cookery, we turn to the activities
Of the home for real problems.
In clothing and textile work, as
in most school subjects, the prin-
ciples taught remain much the
same from year to year; but en-
phasis of these principles changes
as habits and needs of the COM
munity change.
Some years ago chief work Of
these classes was sewing, because
the making of garments was the
phase of clothing work that girls
most needed. Today the making
of garments is only a part of the
work. In addition to the sewing
the girl is taught some of the prin-
ciples of color, line and workman
ship that will help her in choosing
ready to-wear garments. 1t is also
necessary that she have some knowl-
edge Of how materials are made in
order to judge the relative quality
and cost Of ready to-Wear garments
or materials.
Social Service Offered
The social service department
was organized to meet problems Gre
ated by the compulsory education
law. This law has brought into
school many children who would not
have appeared otherwise and has
kept in school many others who
would have dropped out after a
short stay. This brought to the
school a new problem.
The law requires every child be-
tween the ages of and 16 to at
tend school regularly. The one ex-
ception applies to those children
whose parents are financially unable
to send them to high school. This is,
of course, the group who can least
afford to forego the advantages of
an education. Some exceptions
should be made in the cases of chill
dren unable to advance in school,
but no child should lose his educa-
tional opportunity because of pow
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-12-31

have increased in number and eff
cheney. A most gratifying out
growth of these classes in the ele-
