Need of Further Im
provements.
AGAINST 1-ROOM SCHOOL
“Until Indiana hold* first * place In
stead of seventeenth among the other
states of the union for general efficiency
in her schools there can be no let down
on the campaign in the state for bet
ter educational conditions,” declared L.
Hines, state superintendent of public
instruction, today.
Mr. Hines has visited every county in
the state, investigating the educational
and sanitary conditions of the schools.
"1 have fonnd,” he said, “that the at
titude of the people toward school im
provements is fine; they are ready to
reco ;nize and listen to our plans of ad
rancement.f
The superintendent said that a good
place to begin is in the rural schools,
where the conditions in some localities
are far from satisfactory.
“The state Hoard of education is very
much opposed to the building of any
more one-room schools except whejy geo
graphical conditions make It impossible
to erect consolidated schools,” declared
Mr. Hines.
A report has been prepared by the
elate school board showing that in UMV
there were 5,553 one-room schools in
the state, while on March I, 1920, there
were 4.580, or a progress in school con
solidation of 43 per cent.
Mr. Hines said that in one of the
wealthiest counties in the state there
are sixty-five one-room schools of an
inferior type.
“A child in a $4 per capita school tax
district is entitled to as good schooling
as the child in the S4OO district,” Mr.
Hines said, "and we Intend to use every
resource in onr power to see that be
gats what Is only his due.”
WAXTS COMPriAOBt
MEDICAL EXAMINATION.
Compulsory medical Inspection should
be substituted for permUsory Inspection
as one of the first steps in the evolntton
to better schools, declared Mr Hines.
“In Putnam county a graduate health
nurse examined 1,136 children in s"h<=ol
and found the following afflictions: Mal
nutrition, 46; anemia, 6; goitre, 4;
nervous diseases. 8: cardiac diseases, 14;
pulmonary tuberculosis, fl; pre-tubercu-
Jar, IS; skin diseases, 34; rachitic type,
3; other orthopaedic, 23; defect of vision.
141; defect of hearing, 18; defect of
teeth. 408; hyperthrophled tonsils C 77;
adenoids, 216: defectives. 11; re
ferred to physician, .329; referred to den
tist. 294.
Blame for many of the outstanding
conditions were laid on the general pub
lic and the school trustees by the super
intendent.
He said that when sufficient taxes are
not levied to cover the salaries of ef
ficient teachers and the purchasing of
adequate supplies, the poor results can
not be laid at the doors of the school au
thorities.
“I have visited several rural schools
where there were no maps in the school;
others where there were no dictionaries,
and some which had no supplies at al!
for the prinwry students.
"Borne of (he buildings are of the most
primitive type; one school was heated by
a fireplace which had been In use for
nearly fifty years.
“In cold weather It was necessary for
the pupils to huddle around this fire
place in order to keep warm.
"It is not uncommon to visit a school

facilities.
In some places, he said, they get water

"I visited one little school where the
pupils were drinking water from a slug

In discussing the salaries paid to
