VIOLIN CLASSES
ARE OPENED IN
GRADE SCHOOLS
All Pupils to Get Chance to
Develop Talent for \
Music.

Glasses in violin instruction were
inaugurated this week in grade
schools by Ernest G. Hesser, director
of music of Indianapolis public
schools.
More than 600 children were en-
rolled in fifty classes last year, Hes
ser said, and a greater number is
expected to take instructions in
1928-29.
w. E. Tallentire and Henry Mar
shall are teachers directly in charge
of the work and go from school to
school during the period of classes.
1--WE wish to discover talent among
grade school pupils" said Hesser.
"In many cases the parents do not
believe their children capable of
playing the violin and do not feel
a financial outlay necessary to de-
terrnine that fact.
Taught in Many Schools
perhaps a child enrolls in one
of our classes and shows talent.
The parent Immediately is more
than willing to pay for future and
more advanced instruction under a
private teacher"
The course of instruction is for
two years, and at the end of that
time Hesser recommends further
teaching to the parents.
Glasses were held last year in the
following schools: Nos. 8, 5, 6, IL,
IA, Is, 16, 10, 81, %, &c 80, 81, 80, 80,
"a, SO, 38, 40, AZ, 43, A, 46, 40, So
81 81, SIS, 81, So, so, Sc, 81, SO, rs,
rs, 70, 80, 83.
The department plans enlarge
ment, and probably will have
greater number of classes in more
schools than last year. Any grade
school with ten or more students
wishing to take violin lessons will
be formed into class with a teach
er from the music department.
Only equipment necessary for the
child is a violin and the regular
book of instruction.
In a bulletin issued this week,
Hesser explains to parents that
extra strings are part of the equip
ment. Parents are asked to COOP
crate with the department in the
practice hours of the pupil.

Cathedral High School will play
Washington High School in football
Oct. at Washington Park, the first
parochial- public school athletics
contest in the history of high school
sports.
Shortridge High School is sched-
uled to play Cathedral, Nov. 8.
Washington also will compete
with Cathedral in baseball, basket

anon here, Nov. 2 at Greenfield,
and Nov. 8 with Sheridan here.
Four Teams in Uniform
Four full teams in uniform prac-
tice daily as the varsity squad, and
more than thirty freshmen were
put in harness. Washington has a
local policy of playing freshmen on
their own schedule and using up
per claSSmen for varsity.
This policy interests more new
men in the game, and many good
men are developed from boys who
otherwise would be afraid to COM
pete with upper classmen," said
Bruce Morrison, athletic director.
Henry Bogue, from the University
of Illinois, and James Shockley,
from Butler University, have charge
of football coaching under Nor
riSon.
Use Temporary Field
The school is Handicapped by not
having its own playing field. All
varsity games are played at Wash
ington Ball Park, but practice is
held just any place.
Men are working on the tenn
porary playing field at the school
this week in an effort to clear part
of it of rocks and brush for scrinn-
age field. Several months work will
be required to place the field in con-
dition for regular game, it is said.

Statistics compiled By the Associated General Con-
tractors Of America indicate that construction costs in
the United States are approximately 100 FER cent
higher than in 1918, another advance having been re-
corded during August.
The recent noted rise is attributed to an increase
In the average prices paid BY contractors for basic ma
tsrials. the report Of the association states. This av-
srsEs, i vs. stated. was particularly infIusnced BY
prices which concrete aggregates and lumber com
nsnded.
The average Of wages paid in the construction In
dustry remained unchanged during August, holding the
same position as in June when it registered q slight
decline. The wages average has showed marked sta
bility. having changed is plane only three times since
October 1926. These changes consisted Of one rise
and two declines. and have been small. The average
in wage in the building trades, in fact, was held vir-
tuslly a single l,vel for two years.
The average Of the combined costs Of construction
materials and wages during August reached a position
slightly lower than that which Il held one year ago,
although materially above the plane occupied during
August. 1926.
An interesting feature Of the report. which shows
ths gradual rise in construction costs, is a scale which
places the 1918 costs as 100 as It's basis. II shows the
following index numbers for the months Of this year
Jnuary. 1879; February, 1879; March, 1877; April. .s7;
JuEe, l9s; July l9s, and August zoo.
Timber shortage, wage increases and higher trans
portaticn rates are largely responsible for the in
creased cost OF building material. it is claimed; and
these combined with the difference in wage scales be-
tween 1928 and 1918 have advanced the cost Of build
ins approximately 100 per cent in the 15-year period.
These figures are obtained from a national monthly
survey. In some sections the percentage Of increase
