YACHTING

Sir Thomas Upton, according to friend of his

the cup In an interview yesterday at London he
said that 1t was more than likely that he would
send Shamrock I. as well the new challenger
Shamrock Ill, to America. AS Shamrock II.
is already at New York, there will be three
Shamrocks in the tuning-up races in American
wa ters. y ,..E.s r. ~ ~. y .r.-
THE report that there would be no trial races
In American waters Is absurd he said. I'VE
look to the trials in American waters to give
us big advantage the previous contests
by enabling us to make sure that the boat Is
brought toe proper racing pitch after reftting
At present 1t is our intention to have these
races sailed against Shamrock H.. which was
left in America mainly for that purpose. If,
however, it should be decided tina it Is prefer
able to have Shamrock I. also cross shall have
hesitation in taking her.''
Asked as to the probable date Of his departure,
Sir Thomas said: SIT is not yet fixed. We de.
sire to, make no arrangements that may fall
through and there are many things which might
alter the date. = expect to leave stone

Carry tn. Children to school.

Our parish school board While IN
session last Saturday were confronted
with the usual worry of every cross
road neighborhood wanting school.
The policy of our State board is, (and
it should also be the policy of the
parish boards), to have fewer and
better schools. The emulation OF
funds, and the massing of the chill
dren, gives longer terms, means to
employ better teachers, and oppor-
tunity to class and instruct hepupils
to much better advantage. Our peo-
pie need to be educated to the fact
that it is better to carry the children
to the schools, than to attempt to
carry the schools to every child.
