teachers must have the courage o
their convictions, and it is the im-
perative duty of the voter to select
for responsible positions men who
have intelligence, tolerance and know-
ledge sufficient to select teachers ade
( quate to fulfill a great public trust
"As a matter of fact," Dr. Cross de
clared, "there is very little extrem
writing in the texts and manuals use
in schools and colleges. Each countr
and people has its aims and pro.
lems, its racial psychology; whe
they come into conflict it is the tas
of the historian to study, weigh, an
balance and to present a fair-minde
estimate."
Few Concessions Necessary
"Reverting to the writing an
! teaching of history, two concession
have to be made," Dr. Cross contin
ued. "First, it is very proper in
democracy that there shall be fran
and fearless criticism of matters tha
concern the public as a whole, par
ticularly in so vital a matter as th
education of youth. Secondly, as;
reaction against a somewhat exhub
erant complacency and smug opt:
mism in our literature and histor
land a tendency in our biography no
l only to exclude all unlovely traits bu
t to add qualities, edifying themselve
to which the subject of the eulog
would lay no claim, a reaction ha
set in and various mean and commo
traits have on occasion been empn

es equally untrue to life."

ciuded on last night's program we.

semi-classical song numbers by th

der the direction of Theodore Harr
son, of the University School of Mi
sic. The Glee club opened and co
cluded the program, many Michiga
songs being included in their repe

in charge of Waldo M. Abbot, of t

"If the general function of all ed

Litmeheon Is Held
A luncheon was given at noon at
the Union for the visiting foresters.
The afternoon session was devoted to
a discussion of what an educational
program in forestry should consist of
and the lines of work that a forestry
graduate -could go into after gradua-
tion. The advisibility of lumber com-
panies making available definite in-
formation regarding their holdings
from which management plans could
be made by the forestry students was
also taken under consideration. The
1 committee was desirous of being of
assistance in preserving historical da-
ta of the lumber industry by pro-
viding exhibit material, old imple-
ments used in the early gays of log-
ging, records, files of letters, and
l photographs, all of which it is plann-
to make available to the general pub-
lie.
Before closing the meeting the com-
mittee agreed to meet twice a year,
once in a large meeting with all for-
esters and once in a small meeting of
the standing committee proper. All
meetings will be held in Ann Ar-
bor.
Discuss Wood Utilization
Problems of utilization of woods
were also discussed during the con-
vention. These included uses of hem-
lock, the marking of timber, and the
advantages of selective cutting. Am
interest was shown in the investi-a
tive work now being done in Sagi-
naw forest, experiments of which have
I been going on for 15 years.
The committees meeting here yester-
day were outgrowths of twohforestry
meetings held last spring, the upper
peninsula section meeting in Chica-
go and the lower peninsula foresters
in Ann Arbor. Each section appointed
committees to maintain contact witi
the forestry school. This is the first
meeting of these joint committees.

Every day this week he has come

criminal contempt proceedings against

were being heard by Justice Siddons.
Arriving just before court convenes, he

characterized his statement as highly

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9--Willian S.
'are, of Pennsylvania, trod the path-
ay today upon which the Senate re-
ently started Frank L. Smith, of I-
inois.
Vare, a Republican, was, in effect,
topped at the senators coor. The
ath was denied him until the special
ampaign funds committee can furth-
r investigate and report upon th'i
harges of fraud in both his primary
,md general election campaign.
aLike the senator-elect from Illinois,
[e will have an opportunity to pre-
sent his case in person and through
counsel before the committee and
then will be heard in his own behalf
on the Senate floor.
Vote Is M6 to 30
Hopes of the friends of Vare that
his case would prove stronger than
hat of Smith were shattered for the
Senate vote to deny him the oath
of office was 56 to 30, while that in
Smith's case was 53 to 28.
After moreathan two days of ora-
tory, those eading the fight on behalf
of the Pennsylvanian went down
fighting, and the tenacious Reed, of
Pennsylvania, carried the battle be-
yond the last roll call by holding up
temporarily a resolution of his dis-
tant cousin, Reed, of Missouri, re-
affirming the authority of the special
committee to act.
Is Second Fight
It was over a similar resolution
that the two Reeds, the one a Re-
publican and the other a Democrat.
fought so bitterly during the Senate
filibuster at the end of the last ses-
sion. As a result of this fight, the
Committee was rendered powerless to
act during the recess of Congress.
After the Pennsylvania Reed had ask-
ed that the resolution go over until
the next session of, the Senate, which
will be on Monday, the Missourian,
the chairman of the special commit-
tee, declared that this would cause
a delay of three days in getting the
investigation under way.
"For that three days delay the sen-
ator from Pennsylvania must again
accept the responsibility," Reed of
Missouri declared with a show of
heat. Reed of Pennsylvania made no
reply.
Under the resolution denying Vare
the oath, offered originally by Sena-
tor Norris, Republican, Nebraska, and
subsequently modified, the special
committee is directed to report back
to the Senate. as quickly as pissibl,
but ini no case later than next Feb.

investigation which was ordered Wed-
