IN MEMORIAM.
IN MEMORIAU—In sad but loving re
membrance of our dear, daughter and
sister, Agnes Mae Roark (nee White) who
died four years ago, Dec. 15, 1916.
Let the lower lights be burning.
Send a gleam across the wave.
So Mae sang this song to Jesus
For she knew that He could save.
Then she suHered on In silence
TUI God whispered, come and go.
And He took her soul to heaven.
Where her suffering all is o'er.
Sadiy missed by her MOTHER, SARA
M. WHITE. AND BROTHERS. RALPH
AND JAMES.
IN MEMORIAM— '
There's a magical Isle In the river of time
Where angels forever are roaming;
And the air Is as soft as a musical chime
And beautiful flowers are blooming.
There the dead—the beautiful dead:
With her sweet, sunny smile as of old.
And an unbroken silence now lies;
She Is there by the river of Gold.
In memory of Agnes May Roark, who
passed away four years ago, Dec. 15. 1916.
J4sr little daughter EDNA ROARK AND
AGNES LA YCOCK.

after February the number will be
greater. The seventy-six does not include
a very considerable number of primary
classes, whose educatioanl interests aro
not suffering greatly by half-time work;
it includes only classes which should, to
receive proper educational attention, be
on a full-time basis. In forty-four build
ings the number of children crowded into
he schoolrooms is in excess of the maxi
num number permitted by the State law.
llso in forty-six instances the school
Hoard is using portables, old cottages.
tc., gs school'buildings, present condi
tions of location and maintenance being
in violation of the State law.
"Ten classes are seated In halls and
tssemblies unfit for schoolrooms, four
are housed in basement rooms and three
>ccupy rooms in the third story In ab
solute violation of the law. This is a
group of 3,905 children, or approximately
10 per cent of the total elementary en
rollment who are not properly provided
with any place in any schoolroom re
garded as such under the law.
"February of 1921 will see greater over
crowding than that of today; next Sep
tember worse than February, aud so on.
It must be remembered that children
spend only certain years of their lives in
our schools; therefore proper educational
opportunities cannot be long deferred,
and any considerable period of time lost
by the child cannot be regained.
"Those facts state the conditions,
thinking only of the legal requirements.
Educationally, conditions are worse.
Five hundred sixty-six of 940 rooms have
an enrollment in excess of the maximum
set for educational efficiency.
AGE LIMIT CHANGE
TO INCREASE NUMBERS.
“The raising of the age lijnit of the
compulsory attendance law will increase
the number of children who must attend
school. This factor must be taken into
consideration, for there is already a
well-defined and vigorous movement
among child welfare workers, which as
serts that all children must attend school
until they have completed the eighth
grade or have reached the age of 16. Such
an Increase would add largely to the
already perplexing problem of housing
our school population.
“Several years ago the demand for bet
ter schools for Indianapolis became ln
sistant in all parts of the city. At that
time a comparative study was made of
the situation in Indlanßpolis and twenty
four other cities. This study showed
that Indianapolis had lagged behind In
expenditures for educational facilities. A
study made at the present time would
show that aince that time she haa not
: kept up with other cities near her in
: rank, although the board of school com
missioners began preparations to carry
forward a program of catching up with
its needs. In ten different places today
construction work is in progress.
“The designs for school buildings, and
the details were carefully thought out
by experts in various lines, and efforts
were inade to eliminate all nnueeessary
ornamentation or expensive 'frills.’ How
ever, believing that the most economical
thing is to build well and to build so
that the structures will stand the test
of time, the board has endeavored never
to sacrifice essentials. Over many of the
features we wish to point out this board
i has no control; many of the features are
determined by the sanitary achoolhouae
I law of the State. All plans for school
buildings have been approved by the
| State Board of Acounts, the State Board
! of Health and the city health depart
| ment, and In each instance also the
i necessity for the improvement and the
amount to be expended has been investl
! gated and approved by the State Board
of Tax Commlasloners.
j "There are various other buildings, be
i sides those under construction, that are
! Imperative if the children of Indianapolis
are to be given the educational opportu
nities to which they are entitled. This
: board expects to be able to go ahead
| with those Just as soon as general condi
’ tlons for their erection are favorable—
| and the board sincerely hopes this will
be soon. It believes the best way to
| operate during the unsettled times which
■ are coming is for it to go ahead with
Its plans, get all preliminary plans pre
! pared and be in readiness to take ad
; vantage of favorable conditions when
! ever those conditions develop.
EFFORT TO "CATCH
UP” WITH POPULATION
. "Ordinarily it takes several months to
j prepare plans and specifications for a
modern school building. With this in
mind the board has instructed several
i architects to go ahead with plans for
j specific building projects. It leels sure
i the great masa of the people of Indlau
hpolls realizing the vital Importance of
educational progress will Join with the
j board in its hope that the task of 'catch
ing up with our population’ will not be
long deferred, and that soon this city
will be in a position to give that which
Is right and Just, ‘full school privileges
for every Indianapolis child.’ ”
The subject of school enumeration with
a discussion of its relation to a per
manent school census and anew rec
ord system was Included in a report by ;
Superintendent E. U. Graff, and referred
to a committee composed of Julia H. ;
Tutewller, B. S. Oadd and Superintend- ;
ent Graff for consideration. The report
dealt with the comparatively inefficient
former system of enumeration and stated
that by slightly Increasing the expense
the system could be made 100 per cent
better.
Because of the failure to check up. j
there were Innumerable duplications and ]
omissions in the former system. Super- ;
intendent Graff declared. A system now ;
in ns< is a permanent census in tenta
tive form, but has not yet been developed
so that It 1# of greatest possible service,
according to the report.
In September, 1919, a checking up
showed that over 12.000 children were in
the schools who had not been enrolled
in the preceding May. when the usual
yearly census was taken. “A part of
this number is accounted for by a change
in ago or immigration to the city, but
by far the greater portion pf them had
been missed by the old system of taking
an enumeration each spring without ref
erence to the old,” the report states.
The report emphasizes the difficulty in
securing for a short period people trained
lu index work and upon whom dependa
bility could be placed. The work necessi
tates the checking In detail of more than
90,000 cards.
The proposed system, whereby a child
Is located when It first enters school and
followed up until graduation <?r change
in address, would be placed In the hands
of the director of the department of at
tendance, with three assistants, and the
salaries of the director of enumeration

Irvington.
ilr. Snider was Instructed to
the cost of the proposed building, after
which the board will determine whether
the fund will be placed on such an addi
tion or applied to the construction of
additional classrooms.
Until the board has reason to believe
the cost of materials has decreased suf
ficiently to justify the appropriation of
money for extensive operations, bids will
not be advertised nor contracts let, ac
cording to a motion by Mr. Barry. Thq
new order does not affect portables, for
which a plan of specifications will be
arranged.
That “shelves in some of the branch
libraries of the city are entirely desti
tute of books,” was the declaration of
one of the members of the board, which
led to the appointment of C. E. Rush,
librarian, Ralph Douglas, George C. Hitt,
W. D. Allleon, chairman of the library
committee, and Charles L. Barry, chair
man of the finance committee, as a com
mittee to devise means whereby more
books can be added to the library. Leg
islation at the next session of the Stat
assembly may be sought, it was said,
when it was pointed out that the tax
maximum for Indianapolis libraries wai
4 cents. In other cities the libraries are
supported by a tax appropriation of
from 6 to 10 cents, Mr. Rush declared.
It is estimated that SIOO,OOO will b*
needed to equip the library with neces
sary books, in addition to the small
portion of the $250,000 annual library
maintenance and book fund, which is now
used for that purpose.
Mr. Rush announced the resignation
of Miss Maude Fields as branch library
assistant, and the appointment of Mis
Della Taylor, recently librarian of the
Shoals public library, to fill the vacancy.
The recommendation that a delegate be
sent to the regular mid-winter confer
ence of the American Library Associa
tion, to be held in Chicago Dec. 27, 28
and 29, was granted by the board. Ap
propriations will be made to procur®
reading tables and chairs for the re
cently enlarged McCarty branch library,
and to purchase radiator covers sos
branch libraries as follows: Hawthorne
No. 2, East Washington No. 3, Madison
avenue No. 4, and West Indianapolis
No. 5.
HIGH MARK FOR
HOME READERS
During November the total number of
home readers of library literature
reached 58.80 L the highest point in the
history of the library, a gain of more
than 17,000 in tho last three years, Mr.
Rush stated, in connection with hi*
appeal for more books.
Superintendent Graff was instructed
to communicate with Mr. Stout of the
Educational Thrift Service, Inc., of New
York, and arrange with local banks to
cooperate In a campaign for Thrift
stamps, to be inaugurated In the publlo
schools at an early date.
