$4,000 grade and high school pupils
will be made when 1900 teachers
attend the annual teachers meet
ings, Sept. 4 to 7. Superintendent
Charles F. Miller announced today.
Enrolment this year will exceed

will meet with departmental heads
to plan organization for opening of
school. Other instructors will in
clude Miss Lucy Montgomery and
Mrs. Ida G. Langerwisch. Superin-
tendent Charles F. Miller will adj
dress the teachers probably Sept T.
Indianapolis school buildings are
being prepared for the opening of
school by 258 janitors and engi-
neers, supplemented by a corps of
more than 100 additional workers
During the vacation months these
workmen have been painting, var
nishing, repairing roofs, steps, desks,
chairs and otherwise renovating the
buildings.
One new building, School "a, at
Fifty-Seventh st. and Central Ave,
and an eight-room addition at
School 73, Thirtieth and School SITS,
will be opened for the first time
Sept. H.
In addition, rooms not used in the
past are being opened at Schools
81, So and IS.
Two new wings at Arsenal Tech
nical High School containing
twenty-nine class roonle, will not be
ready for several weeks after the
start of school, Miller said.
Portables Aid Congestion
Portable schools are being trans
ferred to relieve crowded conditions
at Schools AZ, As and 81. Miller said
about eighty rooms will be in port
able buildings this year, no increase
over last year.
Miller said it is probable not more
than ten halliday classes will be
necessary this year because of new
buildings, transfer Of portables and
opening of heretofore unused rooms
in some schools. Last year there
were twenty-four halliday classes,
all for primary grades.
New Shortridge High School will
be completed probably in time for
occupancy late in November.

With the maximum economic height
of an oface building for the average
ground space up to approximately 40
stories, the further advance Skyward
awaits solution of the same problem
that exists in city streetS-traffic con-
geStion.
This is the statement of William F.
Lamb New York architect. The prob
lens of actual construction have been
solved, he points out. But there is a
point beyond which elevator service
presents too many diff1culties. Either
service Is inadequate to suit the hurry
ing passenger, or too much valuable
space is taken up by additional ele-
vator shafts.
Mr.. Lamb adds, however, that there
may be valid reasons for exceeding the
maximum economic height "Ad-
vertising value is frequent considera~
ton. With exceptionally large ground
spaces there may be portions in the
center of building, left in darkness,
which can be used economically for
extra elevator shafts" he states.
1T has been necessary to compute
this height because of the tremendous
values of land. Architects have had
to figure just how high a building
should 60 to bring the maximum net
returns.
Individual cases vary, but, on an
average. we have found that the most
efficient height for a building is about
25 stories. 1t Is at this height that
a building generally pays the greatest

MIR. Butterworth referred to report
on the actual value in dollars and
