Smith WATER POLO TEAM READY1 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.

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.

BERRY DI S C U SSES ABNORMAL C A S E S IN SECOND TALKI Supdrintendents and teachers were further instructed, in the care of han- dicapped children in the school yes- terday afternoon when Dr. . S. Berry gave his lecture "Service Clinics" at' the University High School, Shaping his talk ,to aid especially the aller community, which has not had e opportunity of learning to1 care for special cases, Dr. Berry list- ed many different types of clinics, told various ways in which they might be e'stablished, and what they would ac- complish toward the betterment of education in Michigan, The main suggestion of Dr. Berry was a traveling clinic, to be under the supervision of the state 'department of education. This mobile clinic ist to be equipped with experts in psy- choanalysi's, and also health experts, and would examine the special casesc in the smaller communities where they have not the expert aid. Under Dr. Berry's plan the more serioust cases would be referred to experts atf the University and would be given such treatment as is possible. He pointed out that provision has been made to give free treatment to those whose parents are unable to pay. Dr. Berry emphasized the idea that all pupils should have this prelimin-1 ary examination before being sent to the expe"'s at the University, saying that many cares can be cared for at home by rh.? local physicians or school authorities. Hs said his idea was that that trav - -g clinic should go first only to those smaller communities that are the least ablb to help them- selves, and 'should not go to the cities. which already have their own organ- izations for the care of handicapped children.} PRESUIDENTIAL PRIFIINCE POLL WILL BE HELD ON CAMPUS TODAY UNDER DICTIONOF THE DILY Large Vote Anticipated As Interest In Leading Candidates Appears To Be At High Pitch BOOTHS LOCATED AT THREE PLACES Voting booths will be opened promptly at 9 o'clock this morning for the experimental poll on the Presidential candidates which will be conducted during the day under the auspices of The Summer Daily.
