TODAY'S MARKET REPORT

Chicago Oct. 20-WHEAT-Fresh weak
ness that developed today in the wheat
market explained due to good
weather and to the abnormally large re-
ceipts northwest. Arrivals at Winnipeg
amounted to 1,964 carloads, ten times as
many on the corresponding day year
ago, and there were estimates current that
the Canadian export surplus would total
250, 000,0 900 bushels. Higher prices at Liver
pool caused little show of firmness at the
outset but the effect was brief Opening
prices, which ranged from Nc off to 3s@1Ac
up with December at S1.o6H to 81. 06A ana
May at $1.O7h to $1.07A were followed by
substantial general decline.
Imposition of a heavy import duty in
France operated later adversely to the
bulls, The close was unsettled, 11ac to 1 =
@1%c net lower, with December at $1.O4A
@1.04R and May $1.059s @1.05A.
CORN-Corn turned down grade with
wheat. Strong Liverpool cables had only
a slight temporary influence, after opening
at &c decline to shade advance the mar
ket sagged all around.
Fine weather tended afterward to in
duce additional setbacks. The close was
nervous at the same as yesterdays finish
to Ia sc lower.
OATS-Oats could not stand out against
the bearish action of other grain. On the
ensuing decline, however, commission
houses were buyers to fair extent.
PROVISIONS-Lower prices on hogs
brought about sharp setback in provis-
ions. Much stop loss selling took place.

Unduly Alarmed

Ben lamin Ide Wheeler. president of
the University of California, saws vocal
tional education is undemocratic. This
vocational education,' said he. ..is a de-
liberate attempt on the part of some.
people to hold the SONS OF labor To toll.
A real democracy does not mean equal
ity OF achievement, but equality OF op-
portunity. .. The one fad in our
educational system that will do most
harm is vocational training We
in the United States want everybody to
get Il chance to have a classical education
ii he wants il. We want him to get a
chance to raise to the best that is in
him. This alone is democracy" DIR.
Wheeler doubtless had Germany in mind
when he uttered these sentences. and if
the establishing OF vocational schools in
this country meant the transplantiug OF
the German system. which is autocratic.
in the United States. it is altogethe
probable the workers would voice a Wig
orous protest against vocational etlllca-
ton in our public schools. However.
there are but Il few OF the advocates of
the establishment of vocational training
schools in this country VINO entertain
the idea that any European system can
be adopted and made to give satisfaction
in a democracy like ours. Thererore we
believe President Wheeler is undulv
