Samuel T. Dana, director of the

tion of the Forestry Service at Am-

this afternoon in Natural Science au-
ditorium on "The Place of Forest Re-
search in the National Forest Pro-
gram." Mr. Dana conducts research
experiments that have to do with for-
est conditions in the Northeast. At
the station the work is conducted so
as to collect and assemble facts re-
lating to private lumber growing in
that section of the country.
Much of the research has to do with
the elimination of. forest diseases andI
parasites, such as the blight-killing of
Chestnut trees and the gypsy moth,
both of which are problems for the{
forester in the East. Other phases
of the work done at thetstation con-
sists of studies of growth and yield,
methods of cutting, the natural re-
production of differentrspecies of
trees, the economics of fire protection,
and methods of "slash" disposal.
"Slash" is the waste that remains
after the timber has been removed
from the land.
Mr. Dana, who was for a time For-
est Commissioner for Maine, has writ-
ten written several articles, "Farms,.
Foilests and Erosion,"'and "Forestry
and Community Development" having
been published by the United States
department of Agriculture.

GENEVA CONFERENCE
URGED BY COOLIDGE
Administration's lans For Share In
Discussion Are Considered
By Cabinet Heads
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Appropria-
tion of $50,000 to defray expenses of
American lelegates to the prepara-
tory disarmament conference to be I
held at Geneva was unanimously rec-
ommended to the house today by its
foreign affairs committee in compli-
ance with a request from President
Coolidge.
The administration's plans for par-
ticipation in the discussion, mean-
while, were pressed forward, Secre-
tary Kellogg conferring with Secre-
tary Davis, of the war department,1
and presumably getting in touch with
Secretary Wilbur respecting the se-
lection of army and navy technical
personnel that will aid the American
delegation.
It appears possible that the army
and navy officers will be selected
from among either the present mili-
tary staffs at European capitals or
from men who recently have had the
latest experience. The knowledge of
foreign languages also is being con-
sidered in making selections.
Both the war and navy depart-
ments have been engaged in studies
of the questions outlined for consid-
eration at the Geneva conference, and
have undertaken much research to
obtain data for the drafting of an
American policy.
Before recommending the expense
appropriation, the foreign affairs com-
mittee debated the language of the
resolution at length and also consid-
ered a number of amendments that
were offered. One of these, bykRepre-
sentative Fish, Republican, New York,
to instruct the American delegation
to present a resolution calling for
consideration of the advisability of
outlawing nations starting wars of
aggression, was rejected, but a num-
l ber, dealing chiefly with phraseology,
I were approved. The Fish amendment
was opposed by Chairman Porter and
Rep. Temple, of Pennsylvania, rank-
ing Republican, as ill advised, al-
though both said they were in sym-
pathy with what he sought to accom-
plish.
OHOSTATE TRUSTEES TO

fCOLUMBUS, 0., Jan. G.-Investiga-
tion of alleged communist activities
and prohibition law violations by fac-
ulty members and students of Ohio
State University will open next week
directed by a special committee of the
board of trustees. This was announc-
ed today following a conference with
Governor Donahey and state prohibi-
tion commissioner B. F. McDonald.
Such investigation was requested by
the governor upon report to him by
assistant-prohibition commissioner S.
M. Propht, of the, raid by himself and
prohibition agents of the home of
Dabney Horton, a graduate instructor
in the English department with the
university a few weeks ago. The raid
resulted in Horton's arrest and con-
viction on a charge of possessing li-
quor and paraphernalia for making
the same. He was fined $800 and costs
In his report to the governor, Mr.
I Propht said Mr. Horton had given him
names of some other university in-
structors who had been in a habit o
drinking at his place and that there
were many rumors that commuistic
propaganda was being spread abou
the university. Mr. Propht charge
that Mr. Horton had communisti
leanings and had contributed to com
munistic journals.

Scholar Frowns
On Grade System
Requirements for obtaining an "A"
grade are fatal to the independence,
.J initiative, and spirit of adventure
I which are the life blood of the true1
scholar and scientist, according to a
statement recently made by Floyd
f Simonton, a senior at the University'
of Kansas, in refusing a membership
in Phi Beta Kappa, honorary scholas-
t tic fraternity. Ile states that, "to
strive for high grades is detrimental'
( to the best interests of scholarship.''I
11Mr. Simonton goes on, stating, "In
short, I feel thatthe grade system of
' our schools is a false criterion of
scholarship, and is a dangerous foun-
dation for intellectual idealism and
achievement. The grade system
causes 'grinding', 'cramming' doing
what the 'prof' expects, and working
- for a grade. It is a sacrifice of per-
n sonal development made for the
empty honor of a grade."

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-All rate
chedules in the house tax reduction
ill were passed over today by the
enate finance committee for future
onsideration when Democratic mem
Hers made it known that they expect-
d to present a complete substitute
rogram.
Senator Simmons, of North Caro-
ina, ranking Democrat on the com-
nittee, late today called a conference
f minority members, and announced
fterwards that the substitute sched-
les would be prepared and presented
o the committee by Saturdaay.
Going rapidly through other pro-
isions of the bill today, the commit-
ee accepted many of the technical ad-
ninistrative changes voted by the
ouse. This completed work on the.
ill except for the rate schedule and
he question of publicity of income tax
eturns.
On these vital sections, straight out
arty votes are predicted in the com-
ittee where Republicans, who have
nnounced general approval of the
louse rates, have a majority of 10 to
. Republicans have a somewhat
imilar majority in the Senate as a
whole, but the Democrats are count-
ng on considerable support from in-
urgent Republican members, which
nabled them two years ago to write
heir provisions into the bill.
While no indication of the Demo-
ratic program has been given, Sena-
or Simmons is~known to favor an in-
rease in the maximum surtax from
0 percent, as voted by the house, to
t least 25 percent. The Democratic
anks are divided, however, on the
proposal for continued publicity of'
ncome tax returns.
The minority members of the com-
nittee have generally expressed favor
oward the normal income tax rates
n the house bill, as well as the in-
creased personal exemptions, but
hese along with the inheritance and
gift taxes and all of the miscellaneous
schedules, were passed over by the
committee pending the completion of
he Democratic program.
A showdown on the rate schedule
is expected soon after the Democratic
program is submitted, but a fight Is
mminent in committee over changes
n the administrative provisions to be
proposed by members of the special
internal revenue bureau investigating
committee. Chairman Smoot has an-
nouxiced he will receive this commit-
tee's report whenever its chairman,
Senator Couzens, Republican, of Mich-
igan, is prepared to present it.

When asked to comment on the

statement: "Fundamentally the pur-

This can best be achieved by the de-
velopment, simultaneously, of the
three funamental parts of a man's be-

young man may have a keen intellect,
a sound character and an active,
