THE MOKNING OKEGONIAK, FKIDAY, JULY 1, 1904.
iLUUWI
LIKE WATER SOMETIMES
FIVE HUNDRED BOYS SWIM AT
PUBLIC BATHS.
First Days of Vacation Send Many
Youngsters to Splash In
the River.
The small boy came Into his own yester
day. School -was out "Wednesday, and yes
terday the free baths -were opened. The
baths are not nearly large enough to ac
commodate all the youngsters anxious to
have their skins tanned, but they held all
they could, and that, about 2 In the after
noon, -was not a boy short of E00. They
were so thick In the water that there
was hardly room enough In the bath to
dive. They plaed and splashed and got
Into deep water and knocked out the blad
der "wings" from under the arms of the
novices, and playfully rescued them. They
were orderly with their fun, too, and when
the bell rang for them to get out to allow
room for the men and women, they filed
out, each turning in his trunks, which he
had rented for 5 cents, or showing to the
keeper at the door that he was carrying
off his own.
But where was the boy with the tan of
last year thick on his body? There was
not a one. Is the tank of the public baths
too restricted a field for his prowess? He
wiis nnt nresftnt. There were long, lean.
dumpy and "sawed-off" boys, but none
who had a tan on the shoulder. These
were around on the rafts by the sawmills
and diving off the docks.
There was every variety of boy that the
town affords. In wet tights and nothing
else, their points were readily picked.
There was the big fat boy whose father
must have spent his life as doorkeeper in
a gambling-house, he showed so little sign
of exercise In himself or ancestry. He
was afraid to dive, and, attempting it
many times, stopped midway, in an em
barrassed way, the butt of every one's
jokes. He finally jumped forward des
perately, and must have suffered Intense
Internal pain, driving all the wind out of
his stomach. Then there was the boy
with the big lean shoulders, broad but not
yet thick, and his complement, thick but
tiot broad. The first was invariably blond
tnd the latter dark. The ooy wun ine
k cinowv iPirs that would hanir straight
wn the sides of a horse stood reposeful
ly, and the busy little chaps with thin
faces and slim shoulders showed a "counter-jumper"
agility. The boy with the
long legs and thin hips ana tne quiet man
ners, the descendant of the plainsman and
the mountaineer, and not more than one
generation city-bred, was the most at
tractive of the lot.
But they -were all together, and they had
such a time as only comes on the first day
of vacation. After that the thing gets to
be common. But these little chaps looked
as if their mothers would not allow them
to go swimming except In the baths, and
that Is why their freedom and joy began
with the opening of this paradise for boys.
The bathing schedule of the baths, which
jre located at the foot of East Salmon
street, follows: ,

Cargo.
The Portland & Asiatic liner Arabia
will sail tonight for Oriental ports with
a much larger cargo than It was thought
she would have when she first came In.
Her freight will total about 5000 tons,

means, is an Improvement over some of
the cargoes that have lately gone out.
Of flour the steamer will carry 33,676 bar
rels, of a value of $134,705. The Oriental
demand for flour is picking up at a satis
factory rate and all Indications point to
heavy shipments in the next 60 dajs.
Most of the Arabia's flour goes to Hong
Kong merchants, with some smaller ship
ments to Kobe and Nagasaki.
The total value of the steamer's cargo
Is $1S7,0S7. Nest to flour, the most Impor
tant items on the manifest are the ship
ments of car material to Kobe and Yoko
hama. They comprise 108 car trucks, 73
car bodies and 63 boxes of car parts.

Recapitulation.
Speakers Impress Upon Fellow In
structors the Importance
of Their Work.
Elementary education, taken up by de
partments, occupied the attention of the
State Teachers' Convention a great part
of yesterday's session, and a number of
splendid papers were read. The depart
ment of secondary and higher education
also held a meeting, and several important
subjects referring to college athletics were
decided upon. A committee consisting of
P. L. Campbell, E. D. Ressler, R. R.
Steele, John O'Hara and Miss Gertrude
Ewing, was appointed, to report on the
advisability of organizing a senior and a
junior intercollegiate athletic association
in Oregon at this time. Among the regu
lations reported by a previous conimlttee
for the consideration of athletics in the
higher institutions of learning was one
providing that the football 'season is to
close December 1, and games are to be
scheduled with school teams only.
The development of post-graduate work
In Oregon wa3, discussed by P. L. Camp
bell, who was of the opinion that some
thing must soon be done in this line If
Oregon expects to keep abreast of her
sister states, but he does not deem it ad
visable to attempt a four years' graduate,
course now. "The Preparation of the High
School Teacher" was ably discussed in a
paper by Professor H. D. Sheldon, of Eu
gene, who said that high school teachers
should have four years' preparation be
yond the subjects taught In high schools,
and that the most Important phase of
professional training Is mastery of the
technique of teaching. A paper by Pro
fessor George Coghlll on "Comparative
Methods of Teaching Physiology" was
read by Miss E. R. Walker in his ab
sence. President J. B. Horner presided
over this department meeting.
In the first grade, Mrs. M. L. Fulker
son's paper on "A Child's First Day In
School" interested those in attendance.
She said that the kindergarten teacher
fixed the standard of color, form, art,
dress, etc.. In the child's mind, through
his imitative powers, and that at this
stage who and what the teacher is is of
more Importance than what she teaches.
"Tho chief end of education is not prepar
ing the child for a business or profession
al life, but for Intellectual activity, moral
activity, love of beauty, friendship, do
mestic sympathy and loyalty."
In the fifth-grade department, Scott Sea
rltt, of North Yamhill, gave his Idea of a
well-trained class. He said that a child
taught too much along the line of rules
and regulations will be like the god which
had a golden head and clay feet. The
child's head may be Instructed In the
school work but when he enters tho edu
cational world he Is lost. Mrs. Burnham,
to illustrate the practicability of her talk
on arithmetic, had pupils give a class drill.
In the eight grade, John Blough's paper,
"What Should Arithmetic Do for the Pu
pil?" brought out the statement by Mr.
French that the day of the teacher who
follows the text-book closely Is passing
away, and that now one teaches the child
instead of teaching arithmetic. Mr. Mll
ner, of Woodlawn, thought the vital point
In teaching arithmetic was mental devel
opment, which is derived from concrete
work.
The principals' department also met, with
J. Burnham presiding. "The Emotional
and Intellectual In Education" was pre
sented by Principal C. L. Hoover.
Principal B. E. Washburn took up the
subject of "Character-Growing in School
and Home." He was of the opinion that
the teacher was of more Importance In
the development of character in a child
' than the text-books. - He said that edu
cation without character was a failure
and that a strong character with less In
tellectual education Is equivalent to suc
cess. In the assembly hall President P. L.
Campbell, in an address on "Some Eco
nomic Values in Education," spoke of two
great factors productive of wealth. a3
natural resources and men with their pos
sibilities. In regard to education, the av
erage citizen asks: "Will it pay? Does It
pay? Is It a good investment?" The
thought was brought out that on educa
tion depends the safety of the Republic.
The third of William Parsons' series of
lectures was given, the subject being "Na
ture of the Child's Organism as a Re
sponsive, Reacting Agent, With Educa
tional Implications." Mr. Parsons Is pre
senting tho child-nature to the teachers In
every possible light, and they are receiv
ing untold good from his Instruction.
Hon. Jefferson Myers, president of the
State Commission of the Lewis and Clark
Centennial, delivered the principal address
of yesterday afternoon, on "Effect of the
Teacher's Work on the Government."
Last night the teachers gathered in the
assembly hall to listen to an able lecture
by Mr. Parsons on "The School and the
State." Today's programme Is:
9.00 A. M Department work.

J. Frank Watson Says Reputation of
the City for Hospitality
Is at Stake.'
The committee intrusted with the duty
of raising funds for the entertainment of
tho American Mining Congress during its
session here August 22 to 27, reports that
$3000 has been subscribed up to this time
which leaves a deficit of 55000 which must
be secured in order to carry out the plans
of the local committees in charge. A total
sum of 510.000 will be required and it is
believed by the gentlemen who have
been Instrumental in securing the ses
sion of the congress that the people of
Portland will subscribe the additional
55000 without more delay when they under
stand that the reputation of the city for
hospitality and enterprise is at stake. The
congress will bring hundreds, probably
thousands of representative men hero
from all parts of the United States. The
delegates to the congress will be men
of large means and wide influence. Many
of them are coming with a view of Invest
ing in Portland, and the State of Ore
gon, and the manner In which the city
handles the congress will have everything
to do with determining their actions.
The congress has been invited here with
the promise that its welcome would be a
hearty one and its entertainment equal
or superior to that which they have re
ceived at any former meeting. "With these
promises out to the people of the United
States, Portland must not fail. The repu
tation of the city and the state is involved.
In speaking of this matter yesterday J.
Frank "VYatson, chairman of the local
committee said: "The people here are lib
eral In spirit and Jealous of the city's good
name. The only thing necessary is to
present this matter to their consideration
in such a light that they can appreciate
the importance of the enterprise. They are
busy men and have little time to devote to
outside matters, but once they are given
to understand the importance of the con
gress they will see that the full amount
of money needed will be forthcoming in
time."
The soliciting committee at present -consists
of Mr. "Watson and A. H. Devers,
but it will be increased by the addition of
Charles J. Schumann, and the work of
actively soliciting funds will begin at
once, at is imperative mat tnere oe nut
little delay in this matter and the commit
tee hopes to have the full amount sub
scribed within a short time.
The announcement is made by the com
mittee that there will be no official pro
gramme issued for the congress, nor any
other publication for which advertising
will be solicited. All announcements con
cerning the congress will be made In the
columns of the newspapers, and the pro-,
gramme will be printed by then) from day'
to day.
Secretray Hahon, of the congress, is very
busy arranging the Important details of the
coming session and from the correspond
ence which he has received believes that
the attendance here will be the. largest iq
