A year was spent in planning, and then classes were started in arts and crafts, music and physical education, in. September, 1922. (The program has expanded every year since then. At present there are over 3,000 inâ€" dividuals enrolled in class activities aloneâ€"one out ‘of every four indiâ€" viduals in the city.
