From The Indianapolis Times, Saturday, February 20, 1915: The problem of free education for workers has been solved in this city with a night school being established at three Indianapolis Public Schools. At Washington School, No. 55, 17th St and Sheldon, instructors attempt to supplement the experience which the students receive in their daily vocations and train them to be more proficient. Classes in millinery, dressmaking, machine drawing, and practical electrical work are offered in addition to academic instruction in business arithmetic, English, and spelling. Some employers are offering inducements such as increased wages and advancement to young men who take advantage of the night courses. There is no tuition charged at the school, although those who attend are required to pay for class materials. The first term at the Washington School has 270 enrollees.
