X&eed College Professor Speaks on
Getting Pupils to Work Vn
' der Own Motive Power
and Tells Methods.
The great variety of swift and cheap
amusements available in our cities fa
vors the development of the mob mind,
according to Professor H. D. Sheldon,
of the University of Oregon, speaking
yesterday afternoon before the general
meeting of Multnomah County teachers
at'their institute, which has Just closed
its two days' session at Lincoln High
Kchool.
"In educational pursuits the mob
mind is often hetprui. in the early
days our forefathers went to lyceum
lectures because of this mental charac
ter. But today we develop the mob
mind by attending the moving pic
tures' he said.
"Admiral Dewey had some unpleasant
experience with the mob mind. After
he had been much overrated as a hero
and given much more attention than
he desired, he was treated later in
Just the opposite way.
Education Best Cure.
"The best cure that we can find for
the mob mind is in education. The
etudy of civics should develop the Judi
cial spirit and teach thoughtful rather
than impulsive action. In the cases
where collective impulses are the most
effective means of extensive accom
plishment, as in religious and political
matters, we can avoid unfortunate mis
takes by developing a better class of
leaders."
Professor Coleman, of Reed College,
who addressed the high school teachers
during the forenoon session, describes
various means of getting pupils off
of dead centers. "At a certain stage,"
said Professor Coleman, "pupils cease
to be effectively moved by an impetus
from without, and we then have to look
for motive power within.
"The means of getting them started
are various. I speak of the teachers'
work in this connection first because
I think they are the least important.
My own attempts have often failed,
for sometimes it takes another teacher
to accomplish the work.
Teachers Urged to Be Brief.
"The teacher 1b disabled In his work
of advising young people because his
advice always has a professional flavor.
I do not believe that all you can give
the pupil in the way of advice, homily,
and exhortation is going to be effect
ive. The pupil discounts them because
he knows they are only a part of your
business. I therefore recommend that
they be limited in length and frequency.
"A great deal of harm is done by
attempting to force the progress of the
student. This is done with most dam
age in English classes. Many come to
college with a strong prejudice against
Knglish. I would advise many teach
ers to keep their hands off people who
are beginning to move under their own
power.
Labor Enthusiasm Spread.
"Enthusiasm for any sort of labor is
often communicated with effect. I re
member a student that made a very
poor showing until one teacher took
him into a laboratory. Here he was
given work to do and allowed to help.
The instructor -was very anxious to
obtain certain results in his work, and
the enthusiasm was somehow communi
cated to the student.
"Fellow students are often more val
uable for their influence in the individ
ual student. Where the spirit of work
pervades the school the best results
are sure to be obtained froi all of the
material. For this reason I believe
In smaller Institutions. The larger
ones are too hard to control."
Professor Freeman Daughters, of the
department of education. University of
Montana, spoke during the morning on
"The New High School." Changes in
the high school curriculum were rec
ommended. Scientific investigation, a:
cording to Professor Daughters, shows
the need of changes. Supervised study,
instead of study at home, and psycho
logical examinations devised to show
the teacher the mental power of his
pupils, were among the recommeada
tlons. ITALIANS PLAN BAZAAR

GRAND PRIX FOR CHICAGO
Speedway Is to Have Race August
1 9 and Invitations Are Sent to
Star Drivers Big $13,500
Purse Is Great Attraction.
If any racing driver other than Da
rlo Resta hopes to annex the title of
American b pee-away champion for 1916
and participate in the silver trophy
and $13,500 purBe hung up for that
honor by the Bosch Magneto and Good
rich Tire companies, he had better get
started soon. For the Italian of the
English accent is several parasangs
ahead of the rest of the field and it will
take heroic efforts on the part of the
other contenders to overtake him.
Similarly, if Resta is not headed soon,
he will have an easy time annexing all
the glory and all the cash.
When the returns of the Omaha race
were verified by the American Auto
mobile Association and the profits
awarded to the various contenders in
that event Resta was found to have ac
cumulated 2400 points, just 730 points
more than those garnered by Ralph de
Palma, who had amassed the total of
1670. De Palma had more than twice
as many as Eddie Rickenbacker, with
770. while the rest of the field trailed
with totals far back of the leaders.
Resta's Victories Llot Look.
Resta's points all have been made
by first places in 300-mile races. He
started out by running away from the
field in the Indianapolis sweepstakes,
a feat which netted him 600 points. A
few weeks later he took first place in
the Chicago Derby and followed this
with a first at Des Moines. His latest
victory was in the Omaha race of last
Saturday. With half the season com
pleted, Resta seems to have a safe
lead and there is little chance of any
of the drivers passing him unless they
tune their machines up to far greater
speed than they have shown so far this
season.
As had been expected, word was re
ceived this morning from the A. A. A.
that sanction for the Speedway Grand
Prix race had been granted the local
speedway association for a race Aug
ust 19, the date formerly held by the
Elgin Road Association. Steps imme
diately were taken by President David
F. Reid to make for the success of the
big affair and entry blanks will be
sent out within a few days.
Race Invitation Affair.
After consideration Mr. Reid decided
to make the race an invitation affair
and. blanks will be sent to the follow
ing drivers, whose mounts have been
prominent this year: Dario Resta.
Ralph de Palma, Ralph Mulford, Eddie
O'Donnell. Wilbur d'Alene, Josef Chris
tiaens. Jack Gable, Louis Chevrolet.
Earl Cooper, Jack Galvin, Dave Lewis,
Eddie Rickenbacker, Howard Wilcox
Johnny Aitken, Pete Henderson, Gil
Anderson. Al Johnson and Tom Milton
In addition to this blanks will be sent
to Harry Harkness, of New Tork, who
Is said to be contemplating a big
shakeup of his racing team. This will
bring the list of invitations issued up
to 20.
The Grand Prix race will be a popu
lar priced affair with an entirely new
scale of gate admissions in force.
Grandstand seats will be priced at $5
each, or .$25 for a whole box, grand
stand seats at $3, paddock spaces at
$2 and bleachers at $1. The passage
of the Berwyn franchise allowing the
Metropolitan Railway to run a spur
through that village will result in a
spur being extended to Speedway Bark,
but this will not be finished in time
for the August 19 event. Arrangements
have been made, however, to meet all
epeciaiora at tne Aurora ana rJKin

woman to whose memory the fountain
was a monument and spoke of her
girlhood in Oswego. -
"The time of monuments as merely
cold marble and stone is passing out,"
said Mr. Alderman. "They are now
monuments of service. Generations of
children will drink at this fountain
and remember the sweet life of service
of the girl whom many of you remem
ber in her childhood here. For genera
tions this beautiful monument will
stand here, a thing of sweetness and
service, like the life that has passed
on.'

theran Church, read a prayer and Millie
R. Trumbali presided at the exercises.
Henry Koehler accepted for the school
board, saying in part: "Every time I
pass and see this fountain, I will see
in my memory Laura Evans Smith as
the gentle little girl whom I knew
here several years ago." The service
closed with the singing of "America."
The first to drink from the fountain
after the dedication was little Chris
tina, the 3-year-old daughter of the
late Mrs. Smith. After that her other
children. Archie, Hunter and Stien.
drank from the fountain.
The fountain is of granite and set
on a triple base. It is quite plain,

that community and was active in the
advancement of the school. Many of
the benefits were fostered by her
and there were in attendance many
who remembered the sunny little
girl as she used to play about the
school and later when she reached
young womanhood. Laura Evans was
one of the first women to enter Alaska,
going there when a bride at the gold

DRAW SPAN SHEAVES UP
Twenty Tons of Steel Raised 20 0
Feet to Top of Tower.
VANCOUVER. Wash.. Sept. 2. (Spe
cial.) The perilous and difficult task
of placing the two 10-ton sheaves on
top of the 206-foot towers for the In
terstate bridge draw span was again
accomplished today when the steel
workers engineered the placing of the
two mammoth wheels on the second
tower. Sheaves were placed on the
first tower about a month ago.
These big wheels form the top part
of tne high towers, the last of which
is now nearly complete. As soon as
the counter weights can be built and
the machinery installed, the span will
be ready to operate. This will take
three or four weeks, it is estimated.

CAMP W1THTCOMBE. Or.. Sept. 2.
(Special.) Carrm Withycorobe. is now
prepared to take care of 1200 men for a
month, in anticipation of the arrival of
the Third Oregon Infantry from the
border. The first battalion, now on its
way. is expected to arrive some time
Monday.
Captains George M. Schumacher and
Carl Ritterspacher, the former In
charge of the quartermaster depot and
the latter in charge of the commissary,
have been busy securing rations and
other supplies for the last two days.
The T. M. C. A., which had removed
its tent, goods and fixtures just before
the order for the return of the troops
was given, is re-establishing itself on
the grounds.
Captain Schumacher has received
orders that no more recruits are to be
sent to the Third Oreson, the Second
Washington or the Fifth California.
Recruits Still Accepted.
Recruits will continue to be accepted,
however, either for assignment to com
panies after the arrival of the regi
ment or for transfer to other organiza
tions. The battery and the cavalry,
which from present indications are des
tined to remain on the border for 60me
time yet. will in all likelihood receive
a number of recruits from the camp.
Captain John Hibbard. in charge of
the recruiting station at Fifth and Oak
streets, reports that the forthcoming
return of the regiment has in no way
abated the Interest in recruiting. Seven
recruits reported at that office yester
day and four today.

RECEPTION PliANS DAMPENED
Arrangements Are to Have Troops
Go Direct to Camp.
Somewhat of a damper has baen
thrown upon the plan to have a big
welcome for the returning Third Ore
gon Regiment, due to the fact that the
troops are expected to go direct to
Camp Withycombe and encamp. The
present arrangements do not include a
trip through Portland at all. and the
men will visit this city from Camp
Withycombe only when they are on
leave of absence rrom camp duties, and
as individuals, it is thought.
The proposed welcome to the return
ing soldiers was, at best, merely tenta
tive in character and nothing of a
definite nature had been planned. The
thought was expressed, however, quite
generally that some rousing demonstra
tion would be in keeping with the re
turn of Oregon's volunteer troops from
the Mexican border.
Major Walter Wilson. Acting Adjutant-General
of the Oregon National
Guard, had received no advices yester
day as to time of arrival of the sol
diers from the south. It was expected
the Second Battalion of the regiment,
comprising probably 400 men and In
cluding the regimental headquarters,
will get to Clackamas some time tomor
row. Captain George Schumacher, camp
quartermaster, had not been advised
yesterday of the time of arrival of the
troop trains, but. nevertheless, he had
everything prepared. Supplies were
ordered so that the men will be pro
vided with everything they need as
soon as they reach their old quar
ters. Major Wilson will take up with the
Southern Pacific Company the plan to
have all passenger trains stop at
Clackamas, as was the practice during
the recent mobilization, and he hopes
this arrangement may be made, as it
will facilitate visiting the camp by
Portland friends of the soldiers, and
will add to the convenience of the
troops in reaching the city when not
required at camp.
Despite the return order bringing the
men back from the border, recruiting is
actively going forward here. Six men
were enlisted yesterday and there are
about 60 recruits at Camp Withycombe
who would by now be on their way to
the border but for the return of the
regiment.
