Mayor Carl Wins High
Favor With All of His

Uneasy lies the head that wears

PLATOON PLAN
APPROVED BY
SWEEPING VOTE
Pupils Take New System by
Great Verdict of
1000 to 3.

The vote stands 1000 to 3 in IA
vor of the new platoon system OF
teaching introduced into two Indi-
annapolis elementary schools this
fall.
Pupils being taught under the
new system at school No Is, Bloom
ington and Market streets, and
Eleanor S. Skillen school, No. "a.
Wade and Boyd streets, were asked
recently to state whether they did
or did not prefer the platoon plan
or the system under which they
were taught last year.
Only three registered diSapprovaI
to the platoon system.
The platoon system also is known
as the work-study-play plan. 1t
was originated by William Writ in
the schools at Button, Ind, in
1906.
Started in Gary in 1907
He became superintendent of
schools at Gary in 1907, and set his
plan into working order there.
L. E. Hall, principal at School No.
Is, and H. G. Knight, at Skillen
school, are the two men who have
given the plan a start in Indian
apolis.
AS worked out in the two Indian
apolis schools. the plan means that
the schools can accommodate APP
proXimately 40 per cent more pupils.
and that no additional teachers will
be needed to instruct the additional
numbers.
The schools are divided into two
sections. Section 1 starts the day
with academic subjects, such as
reading or geography. Section 2,
at the same time, takes up some spe-
cial subject like nature study or
physical training.
Sections Change Places
After three thirty minute periods.
the sections change places.
Under the plan now practiced in
the other eighty-f1ve of Indianapolis
grade schools, pupils stay in the
same room all day, excepting the
periods when they are taking ply
steal training. And when the ply
steal training period is in progress.
their room is left vacant.
An average of thirty-hve to forty
rooms are left vacant in a week
under this system. At Skillen
school under the platoon plan, one
room is vacant once a week. At
school No. 16, every room is used
during every period of the week.
Teachers Can Specialize
Those who favor the work-study-
play system point out that the pu-
pill is presented with an enriched
program. He gets more art, more
nature study, more time in the au-
ditorium, and more attention in
physical education and organized
play.
The platoon plan also gives the
teachers a chance to specialize.
They teach only the subjects in
which they are best prepared. In
stead of one teacher instructing the
class in every subject, the pupils
move from room to room, taking a
different subject from each teacher.
The plan, in this way, allows
rooms to be specially equipped. One
room is given over to art exclusive
ly. Another is used only for study
Of history.
Principals and teachers in platoon
plan schools report that order and
department are much improved.
They say this condition is due to
the fact that the pupils move from
one classroom to another instead Of
remaining in one room for long
periods and becoming restless.
A second reason for the improved
department is the superior organi-
zation of the play periods.

How would you like to grow
bean sprouts in your kitchenette?
1t can be done, according to the
Bureau of Home Economies Of
the Department of Agriculture.
This is all that you--or any other
city dweller-needS to do:
Buy about 18 cents worth of
beans at the corner grocer, put
them in a small box a foot or two
in length, and await develop
ments. In a short time you will
have an excellent crop of sprouts,
and they are highly commended
by experts for their food values.
The sprouts are one Of the best
sources Of vitamin C to be found
in the vegetable kingdom. And
there must be a place for vita

They are cheap to produce, for
