From The Indianapolis News, Tuesday, September 15, 1925: Twenty-five crippled children, whose physical impairments are so severe that their education has been in the hands of parents and private tutors, attended public school for the first time yesterday in a specially adapted, sun-filled room in Indianapolis Oscar C. McCulloch School No. 5, California and West Washington Streets. Through arrangements between the city schools and the Indianapolis Foundation, the children will receive an education equal to that of other children. The Foundation will provide bus transportation to and from school for the children and specially constructed classroom desks and tables including special fitted gymnasium corrective apparatus. The school’s purpose is to remove any thoughts from the minds of the children that they are not the mental equals of other children and that they can have a life of hope and ambition.
