Slankenburg Elminated In Semi
Final of 200 Meter Breaststroke,
But All Others In
(By Associated Press)
AMSTERDAM, August 7.-Men and
women swimmers from the United
States today made a much better
showing than their comrades in the
track and field division could boast
at this stage of the big athletic car-
nival last week.
Thomas Blankerburg, Oakland,
California, was eliminated in the
semi-final of the 200 meter brest-
stroke but all the other Americans
advanced. As a result of Blankel-
burg'sdefeat the United States will
not be represented in the finals of the
200 meter breaststroke.
George Kogac of New York, Walter
Laufer of Chicago, and Paul Wyatt
of Uniontown, Pennsylvania, won
their heat in the 100 meter breast-
stroke. Kogac set the new
world's record of 1 minute 9 4-5 sec-
onds.
Crabbe And Clapp Win,
Clareace Crabbe, Honolulu, and
Austin Clapp of Hollywood, flashed
magnificient performances in their
respective heats of the 400 meter free
style event, winning handily, Clapp
by, a spectacular spring against the
Japanese, Arai, while Crabbe was
within 1-5 of a second of the best
time of the day made by Arne Borg.
Crabbe's time was 5 minutes 9 4-5
seconds.
Raymopd Ruddy, young New York
star, finished second to Borg's sen-
sational 5 minutes 9 3-5 seconds. The
youngster was overcome by the
Swede's appalling speed but never
lost hear.t and finished more than 5
meters ahead Hans Schaumacher of
Germany.
Hungary and Germany are finalists
in the water polo competition but
while the victor will be crowned
Olympic champion, the looser will
not be placed second as the defeated
finalist must play France or Great
Britain for second place according
to the complicated rules governing
Olympic waterpolo competition.
California Crew Takes Event
The United States team tomorrow
will begin a round of play for third
place, playing Malta first. The+
United States team is conceded an
excellent chance to finish third.
California's eight oar crew made
another impressive showing today inj
the Olympic rowing regetta, beating
the picturesque Italian outfit by four
lengths, while Clem Myers Philadel-
phia single sculler, also rang up a1
victory for Uncle Sam, defeating San-
dau of Switzerland, by winning both+
entries of semi-final rounds in their
respective classes.
The eight from Italy turned out to
be a little easier proposition than theI
Americans had expected. Fitting.
forty-eight to fifty strokes to the min-+
ute and maintaining it for the full
distance, the Italians rowed the hard-
est stroke of any entry but against+
the powerful pulling of KI Ebright'sl
men their short sharp strokes proved
unavailing.
DOCTOR HARTLEY
TO GIVE LECTURE
"Can We Believe in Brotherhood?"
is the title of a lecture to be given
at 4:15 o'clock tomorrow in room 231
Angell hall by Rev. Frank Hartley,

church and veteran of the British ar-
my. The lecture is one of a series
given in commemoration of the cen-
tenary of Tolstoy, the great Russian
novelist and humanitarian.
The discussion tomorrow is expect-
ed to include consideration of the

EDUCTION CLUMBS
HERBOYNTON TALKI
Chief Objective Is To Insure Each
Individual Opportunity To
His Limit
EDMONSON TOASTMASTER
"The chief objective of American
education is to insure to each indi-
vidual 'his opportunity of making the
most of himself up to the limit of his
capacity," said Frank D. Boynton,,
superintendent, of schools at Ithaca,
New York, in his address "What's
Wrong with American Education,"
delivered before 200 members and
guests of the Men's and Women's
Educational clubs at their annual
Summer Session banquet held at the
Union last night.
Toastmaster James B. Edmondson,
of the School of Education, introduced
the speaker as a "man with Western
ideals and an Eastern atmosphere."
superintendent Byton hs held his
position at Ithaca twenty-nine years,
is president of the department of
superintendence of the National Edu-
cation Association, and i know
throughout the United States for his
Vig; ios suppo v Ge the high school
against the attacks of New York col-
;ege authorities.
Education Points To Truth
Superintendent Boynton opened his
talk with the statement that "educa-
tion offers the only avenue for the
advancement of civilization, through
the discovery of new truths." In de-
fending the high school he said,
"College professors have surveyed us,
motivated us, standardized us, corel-
lated us, jeopardized us, and then
quarrelled with the result."
"It is our educational system that
has kept the United States American.
One-third of our population was born
in Europe or Asia or are the children
of such parents. In spite of state-
ments to the contrary the public
school today is Christian. You
teachers should not apologize for
your profession. You have a great
opportunity."
The European criticism that we
have accomplished nothing was vig-
orously attacked by Superintendent
Boynton. "They say we lack culture.
Perhaps we do. But since our foun-
dation we have hewed out of a forest
inhabited by wild beasts and wlder
men an area large enough to feed the
combined population of England, Hol-
land, Belgium, Denmark, and France,
and our people are today in better
economic condition than in those
countries. We have an educational
system that has taken the wooden
shoes off our peasants, if I may call
them that, and put them in the best
living conditions of any country."
"If we shad squeezed Henry Ford's
education into four water-tight com-
partments, he would have come out
an engineer, but the world would have
gone afoot, instead of riding in au-
tomobiles," said the speaker after
lauding the proposed University Col-
lege, saying it would do more to de-
velop genius ,
"Civilization, the struggle of man
up from savagery, is marked by white
collar jobs," concluded Superintend-
ent Boynton, as he showed the value
of brains.

Dr. Berry emphasized the idea that
