Here is located the second largest "exclusively-shoes" store in the U. S.


Products sold at wholesale are greatly diversified, and the ex- tensive wholesale district now serves a vast area extending 70 miles or more in every direction. The population of the wholesale trade area is nearly 1,500,000.


Since the end of World War II, the city's three largest department stores have been extensively enlarged and modernized through new building programs.

During the same period a very large part of the downtown shop- ping and financial district has undergone a vast improvement pro- gram through modernization of scores of store fronts, building exteriors, and store and office building interiors.


The aggressive Merchants Association and Better Business Bureau, enjoying the co-operation of a large number of the com- munity's business firms, works constantly to insure for those who live and trade here, fair dealing, reasonable prices, and goods that fulfill all advertised promises.


Those who may attempt unfair trade practices in Indianapolis will soon find that they are unwelcome. The stores and shops which value their good reputations, developed from excellent customer relations, thrive and expand, while any who will not conform to good business practices find the spotlight of unfavorable notoriety focused upon them.


Education


Indianapolis, as a community, offers splendid educational ad- vantages in all the usual and many special fields.


Here, beautiful grounds and fine buildings having superior train- ing facilities enhance the pleasure and satisfaction of pursuit of knowledge in fields of letters, sciences, arts, professions and voca- tions. And, opportunities for education from the pre-school age through the university are practically unlimited.

INTRODUCTION


BUTLER UNIVERSITY


This fine system of schools, libraries and other educational insti- tutions, both public and private, brings all levels of education within the reach of Indianapolis residents.


In this progressive city, public school management is relatively free from any undesirable political influences. The Citizens Non- Partisan School Committee has elevated the selection of members of the public school board above all such considerations.


Here, 23 free kindergartens, well-located, provide pre-school age training. There are 82 public elementary schools, two public special schools, 36 parochial elementary schools, seven public high schools, and six parochial high schools.


More than 42,000 students are enrolled in the public elementary schools. Parochial elementary schools provide for 11,500 more. Of the latter, 10,000 attend the 36 Catholic grade schools. Others are en- rolled in Lutheran and the Seventh Day Adventist schools.


More than 14,000 students attend public high schools.


Outside the city limits the 40 grade and high schools which make up the Marion County school system (Metropolitan Indian- apolis) have an enrollment of more than 18,000 students.


Two other incorporated towns in the metropolitan area, Beech Grove and Speedway City, have their own school systems. Beech Grove has approximately 800 enrolled in grade and high schools, while the Speedway City schools are attended by more than 900.


Indianapolis schools are widely and favorably known for the extensive program of adult education they operate, largely in the night classes and in on-the-job training programs.


Through the Indianapolis Goodwill Industries and other service organizations co-operating with the City, State and Federal educa- tional programs, an extensive service in training the physically- handicapped in vocational fields is carried on.


Improved teaching methods, high standards for selection of teach- ers, careful supervision and the alert and active parent-teacher or- ganization have aided in keeping efficiency of the schools on a high level.


The library system is operated by the City school administration. It includes a central library and 21 conveniently-located branches. A State library, also in Indianapolis, houses an abundance of his- torical and reference material.


A children's museum, one of the first in the U. S., through distribu- tion of educational exhibits and maintenance of a large museum building, serves as a valuable adjunct of the educational system.


The Indianapolis public school system employs 3,000 persons, and has an annual payroll of approximately $10,500,000, and an educational plant valued at approximately $38,000,000.


Butler University, established here in 1855 as the Northwestern Christian University, moved to a beautiful, 246-acre wooded tract in 1923. Today, Butler is an integral part of the community. It occupies three stately and modern educational buildings, and has an exceptional athletic plant, a field house seating 15,000, and a stadium capable of seating 35,000. A fine new building, to house a school of pharmacy, will be completed on the Butler campus in 1951.


JOHN HERRON ART INSTITUTE


The John Herron Art Institute, ad- ministered by the Art Association of Indianapolis, is the largest organization of its kind in the state, and recognized throughout the country for the import- ance of its art collection and the quality of its instruction. It includes an art museum and art school housed in sep- arate buildings. It is supported by memberships, endowment, special gifts and municipal funds. The Art Associa- tion was organized in 1883. Through the bequest of John Herron, the present site was purchased and buildings were erected in 1906. The collection of paintings, sculpture, pottery, etc., has grown steadily, and now includes items from all parts of the world. It is located at 16th and Pennsylvania Streets.

During recent years, Butler University has recorded an average enrollment of approximately 4,000 students. Instruction is offered in colleges of liberal arts and sciences, education, business adminis- tration, pharmacy and school of religion, as well as in the pro- fessional fields. Forty-four members of the Butler faculty are listed in "Who's Who in America," in "Who's Who in American Education," and in "American Men of Science."


Butler University's educational plant now is valued at nearly $6,000,000. Plans are under way for additional facilities to be con- structed at an early date.


Indiana Central College, incorporated in 1902, is managed by a board representative of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ, of the six conference embracing churches in Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Minnesota. The college is recognized by the Indiana State Board of Education as an accredited school. A liberal arts college, it has strong departments in teacher training, music, arts, speech, business, home economics and religion, as well as pre-pro- fessional courses. Its physical properties are ideal, and a faculty of approximately forty members provides fine leadership in main- taining high social and moral standards. Since 1945 the college has engaged in an extensive expansion program.


Marian College, a liberal arts college for women, is one of the nation's outstanding schools of this type. Conducted by the Sisters of St. Frances, it is primarily a Catholic college, but it welcomes non-Catholic students. The curriculum of the school is divided


into main groups, as: Religion and philosophy, language and liter- ature, natural sciences, social sciences, and fine arts. The college confers degrees of bachelor of arts and bachelor of science.


Sponsors of Marian College have as primary accomplishments those of preparing young women for service to society as teachers and as leaders in church, home and civic life.


The school is located on a 60-acre campus of great beauty, sur- rounding a private lake, at the edge of Indianapolis.


Indianapolis has numerous preparatory and private schools, and important branches of the two State-owned universities.


Indiana University's famed School of Medicine and branches of its School of Law, Business Administration and other schools are located in the university's large extension division here.


Purdue University conducts, here, in its extension division, many important classes, especially in engineering and technical fields.


Widely and favorably known are John Herron Art School, Arthur Jordan College of Music, Park School for Boys, Ladywood School, Tudor Hall, Orchard School, Indiana Business College and other special schools.


Also, at Indianapolis are located three State schools for blind and deaf persons. These are the Indiana School for the Deaf, the School of the Board of Industrial Aid for the Blind, and the State School for the Blind. Each is a leading institution in its field.
