From The Indianapolis News, Wednesday, March 15: The deplorable conditions of the Indianapolis public schools, particularly the high schools, was the subject of Butler College President Thomas Carr Howe’s address last night to members of the Principals’ Club. Howe said Indianapolis citizens must be awakened to the lack of proper up-to-date school buildings, lack of equipment, crowded classrooms, and scarcity of playgrounds. “We are not giving the children of this city a fair chance to prepare themselves for the work of the world. Indianapolis is not even a forward city educationally. If the attention of the businessmen of this city could be awakened to the conditions in the schools, I believe that the conditions would be soon improved. We are lacking someone with the nerve to say what is needed and then work for that end,” Howe declared.
