From The Indianapolis News, Wednesday, June 7, 1922: To promote civic pride, the Indianapolis Federation of Community Civic Clubs plans to take the 2,500 eighth-grade school children on a sight-seeing tour of the city next Tuesday afternoon. The plan has been indorsed by Ada Finfrock, Parent-Teachers’ Association president, who said, “Personal experiences have taught me how little some grown men and women know about Indianapolis, and I realize how necessary it is for children to become acquainted with their city,” and Charles Bookwalter, park board president, who said, “It is a good investment. When children can see our public buildings, industries, parkways, and other points of interest, they cannot escape a certain amount of civic pride. It teaches them to be boosters.” The tour needs one thousand automobiles, and some civic clubs have offered cars and drivers toward that goal.
