dorses Project But Finds
That Practically no Money

If Pendleton would provide play
grounds for their children. as advised
by Miss Mabel Cummings. head of the
University Of Oregon physical train

That it is purely a question of fl

Not "Eiuke Victory"
BY T. ID. SCOTT.
(Noted Yacht, Expert.)


(Written for United Press.)
NEW YORK, July 16.-Victory of
the Shamrock " over the Resolute in
the first race for Americas cup is gen.
orally regarded as a "fluke victory"
but should not be. BY analysis, it
would seem it was victory of a sloop
of superior construction over too
finely rugged yacht This much is
strilIingly evident. ii bears out an opin-
ion formed during the trial races,
when the Resolute had three serious
mishaps. that she was only light
weather boat and lacked strength.
Shamrock Is Swift.
Beyond proving that she Is better
put up Lipton's challenger hal lit
tie opportunity of showing her other
virtues. Had not Captain Burton mo-
mentarily lost his bearings in a fog
just as the boats crossed the starting
line. It is possible the challenger
would have showed itss stern to the
defender from the starting Inc to the
turn. On the homeward reach, the
Shamrock showed her mettle. In the
lightest of breezes. without breaking
out her spinnaker or balloon jobs, she
covered 10 miles in less than one and
n half hours.

CHICAGO, July 16.-Wheat II was
apparent at the outset this morning
that wheat futures made the mistake
of opening at too high figure yester-
day and decline was merely a read
justment to the prices where trading
should have started. Some of the SELL
ing of December tody was credited to
against purchases for foreign interests
in the country. A moderate volume of
export business was reported worked
early this morning but shortly before
the close it was said that the demand
was less keen and bids reduced
Weather conditions in the northwest
favorable for the prevention of rust i'm
fraction spreading Crop reports from
that section, however. continued
mixed.
Corn-The decline in wheat offset
everything else during the early trade
and was responsible for decline into
new low ground for all deliveries.
Cash transactions were at lower prices
than yesterdays sales but premiums
were firmer and a better tone obtain
ed. The hog market from now on will
probably attract more attention as
corn prices have declined to about a
feeding basis. Considering the bear
ish influences to which the market
was subjected today we consider that
it made a very strong showing and feel
there will be some further betterment
for the tie being.
Oats-F1rmer cash premiums gave
this arket relatively stronger tone
than other grains. Shipping sales
were larger at $1,000 bushels.

IMPORTANT TO
EDUCATE GIRLS
Dallas Lore Sharp Gives
Second Lecture Before
Summer School
SUBJECT, EDUCATION
FOR INDIVIDUALITY
speclal 70 The EvenIng Iournal.

Special TO The Evening Journal.
NEWARK, July SIT the question
should come up and there must be
a choice as to whether the boy or
girl shall be educated, send the girl
"a college for the sake OF the future
child" This statement was made by
Dallas Lore Sharp, Of Boston, educa-
tor. writer and lecturer, in the second
OF a series OF lectures that he de-
livered before the Delaware College
summer school last night Mr.. Sharp
viii conclude the series tonight with
a lecture on "rhe Magical Chance"
The subject OF the lecture last night
was, Education for Individuality
Mr.. Sharp pointed out that the in
stalling OF individuality in the child
largely rests with the parent but that
unfortunately This essential training Is
often neglected. He regretted that
the parents in many instances shirked
the responsibility Of the early train
ing Of the child, which would bring
out individuality. In this connection
he spoke Of a mother who seemed 10
be much worried and told him Tom
my's school closed on June Z and his
camp would not open until June II.
and she did not know what she would
do with him during that interval.
Why the speaker said, most par
ents provide for their children, / will
admit and some even take personal
charge of their children"
Mr.. Sharp said that early education
which brings out individuality Is the
essential part Of education and that
democracy depends on 10. "Is is an
education that makes for individuality
and democracy. The clOry Of the
country is in its individuals. Democ-
racy Is only a system" He spoke
Of the important part that the teach
er must play In this early education
70 bring out individuality as well a.
the parents.
The speaker stated that one charge
against the public schools is that Il
ignores personality and hinders the
brilliant student. He told Of a con-
versation he had with the president
Of Amherst College when the latter
said 10 him, "The thing that I hate
about public schools Is their lack OF
taste. My children have never gone
