FITTED TO
CHILD IN SCHOOL. 2

Another step in the crusade to
make the school fit the pupil is be-
ing taken at Lucretia Mott school,
No. 3, at % North Rural street.
Use of the contract" plan there
means that each pupil progresses in
his studies at whatever rate he can.
Work of each term in the subjects
is divided into four contracts.
Whenever a pupil finishes a unit, he
takes a test. If he passes, he may
take up the next unit.
Pupils are more interested in the
work than ever before, teachers re-
port. The reason is, they say, that
lessons fit the child, instead of the
child being made to fit the lesson.
No longer are more brilliant
pupils forced into boredom by repe-
tition of a lesson which he mastered
quickly. Now he can forge ahead as
he pleaseS.
Another advantage reported by
the teachers is that they no longer
have to spend time trying to make

SAVE SIGHT is
aim OF CLASS
FOR II PUPILS
School Work Is Presented
So No Strain Is Put
on Eyes.

TO give an education to those
VINO could not have It otherwise, Is
the purpose of indianapolis sight
conservation class.
The class, under the direction Of
Miss Josephine O'Brien, is held at
William w. Woollen school No. As,
25Ol Park avenue. Eleven pupils
make up the class. They take work
In seven different grades.
The main purpose Of the class is
to have sight by presenting the
school work in such manner that
no strain will be put on the eyes.
The class also provides an oppor-
tunity for children who can not
take regular school work to receive
an education.
The pupils take only such courses
as require extensive eye work from
Miss O'Brien. These classes include
reading arithmetic and art.
Social studies, such as civic, spell
ing, physical education and geogra-
ply, they take along with the other
pupils Of the school.
reach Touch Typewriting
Children are admitted to the class
by certificate from an oculist.
No attempt is made by the teacher
at correction of eye defects, though
many pupils have improved suf1-
GENTLY to take up regular school
work. This is due to the fact that
no strain is put on the eyes.
All books which are studied are
printed in large type on unglazed
paper. Writing on the blackboard
is made Unusually large. All desks
in the room are movable, so that
any pupil may move closer to what
ever he wants to see.
The touch system of typewriting
is taught. Writing with a pen or
a pencil is great strain on the
eye" Miss O'Brien says. Following
a moving point puts too heavy a
load on these children's eyes, so
they learn tipping.
Brilliant ColOrs Used
The typewriter used prints in
large blackface type. The pupils
learn to write thus without looking
at what they are writing.
Lighting is taken care of carefully.
The room is on the north side of the
building, so as to get an even light
all day. All electric fixtures are
scientifically placed.
Art projects of the pupils con-
stantly keep away from anything
which would be detrimental to sight.
Brilliant colors-red, oranges, green's
are used, and the children steer
clear of any fine, delicate work.

SEWARD AuTOs|sTs SEE
 MOOSE FROM H|GHNAY

AutoistS who were in the vicln- ity of Nile 212 Wednesday evening, just beyond the railroad crossing, and shortly after 10 p. m., were fortunate in seeing a moose cav orting around, within a feW y ras of their cars.
 The moose, when it had t?1en good look at the ca"s which stopped, went upon the railr ad tracks and headed toward Seward but turned off into the "tall and uncut" just before it reached the road and railroad crossing.
 This is perhaps the same moose that has been lolling about close to Stewards environs recently and which has been glimpsed in other near localities by local residents.
