DROP IN BIRTH
RATE NOTED BY
SCHOOL FIGURES
Demand for Higher Plane OF
Education Also Re-
vealed.

A declining birth rate. coupled
With an increased demand for
higher education, has placed the In
dianapolis public schools In an IN
usual situation, Superintendent Paul
c. Stetson pointed out today.
While total enrolment in public
schools has increased slightly more
than 100 per cent in the last twen-
ty-one years, the number OF pupils
entering the ID grade has increased
only 6 per cent in twenty-five years.
figures being compiled at the school
board Offices reveal.
High School Rate Up
FigIes on 1B enrolment are not
available before 1906.
High school enrolment, based on
attendance at the close OF the
school year, shows an increase Of
20 per cent in the ten years from
1910 to 1920. and i42 per cent in
crease between 1920 and 1890. or
more than 300 per cent in the
twenty-year period.
Grade school attendance reveals
an increase Of 25 per cent III the
last ten years and 73 per cent in
the last twenty years.
Divergence between the primary
enrolment and the total attend
ance figures Is accounted for, it was
pointed out, By the fact fewer chill
dren are dropping out Of school in
the upper grades and IN high school,
In 1900 there we're 1895 high
school pupils in the public schools,
and 1884 grade school pupils, a
total Of 2l.729.
Chicago Figures Cited
At the close Of school term In
1881 there we're 1925 high school
pupils and Al .849 grade school pu-
pills. a total Of 54.574
There we're 5,723 first grade pu-
pills enrolled in the 1867 school
year. compared with 6,072 in the
1881 80 school years.
However. even the small increase
IN primary enrolment compared ia
vorably with other cities, it was
pointed out.
Figures from Chicago record a 10
per cent decrease in first-grade pH-
pills in the last decade. with 2ll.5
per cent increase in high sch ~ en-
rollment.

LAFFOON SAYS

G. 0. p. for Depression,
in Talk to Editors.
BY BEN STERN

FRENCH LICK SPRINGS HO-
TEL. May 3O.--Predicting that In
diana will elect Democratic Gov
ernor and state ticket this fall,
Governor Ruby Laffoon of Kentucky
Saturday night told Democratic ed
itors and party leaders at their
banquet that the only remedy for
the economic debacle facing the
nation is reduction of governmental
costs.
Parasites upon the body polite,
useless boards and commissions
mast be cut of. and worthless en-
ployes must be eliminated" Laffoon
declared.
The Kentucky executive scored
the Republican party for its do
nothing policy during the depression
and declared that it can be held di-
rectly blameful for the present con-
ditions.
He did not touch upon the Roose-
Welt campaign for the presidential
nomination in his address, although
he is one Of the New York execu-
tive's staunchest supporters.
But discussion concerning the
presidency occurred in several in
formal conferences during the after
noon.
All candidates for state office
nominations and organization lead
ers were introduced.
r. Earl Peters, state chairman,
announced the names of the men,
bers Of the platform advisory COM
mittee, of which Perry Mozart of
Paoli will be chairman. The COM
mittee will meet in indianapolis
within week to discuss platform
planks, Peters said.

Alabama Negroes Hanging
Appeal Ruling Is Due
tuesday.

m Scrippg-HOWard AcwsbGpcr 4uiuHcc
WASHINGTON, May 30. - The
supreme court in tbs final session
of its eight-month term Tuesday is
due 10 rule on whether to hear two
unusual cases. one Of them hitherto
unknown outside of Chicago, and
the other a source OF international
agitation.
The case with international roper
cussions is the appeal of seven Ala
bama Negroes doomed to hang late
in June unless the court grants
them a review and stays their exc
cution.
The Negroes, convicted OF assault
on two white girls, have been de-
Tended by the international labor
defense, and their appeal has been
hailed as a test OF racial discrimi-
nation.
The appeal charges that the trial
jury was inundated by implied
threats-a contention supported by
the dissenting opinion of the chief
justice of the Alabama supreme
court, the majority of which upheld
the death sentences.
The other case, hitherto unno-
ticed outside of Chicago, involves
what is probably the most extreme
construction ever made in enforce
ment of the Mann (so-called white
slave") act-the conviction and
prison sentence Of a known gang
Ster for travelling across state lines
with woman not his wife, after
having lived with the woman for
three years in Chicago.
The appeal was brought by Jack
Gebardi. said here to be a noted
Capone gangster, sentenced to four
years in prison, and the woman with

Regarding the public works bonds

You can't restore prosperity bv
