A. Graham of the entomology department of the school of forestry and conservation, declared yesterday in comenting upon the work in forest entomology which will be undertaken this sum- mer by the Bureau of Entomology of the United States department of agriculture, the University of Mich- igan, University of Minnesota, and the Minnesota commission of forest and fire prevention. Prof. Graham, who recently re- turned from St. aul where ar- rangements were completed for this week, expects to leave June 9 for Minnesota. The four departments have been conducting investigations 'of forest pests in the Lake states for a number of years. The two most harmful insects, Prof. Graham said, are the larch sawfly and the jack pine sawfly, although the spruce budworm, he said, has come in for its share of attention. Will Solve Problems "Our efforts are directed toward the solution of some of the prob- lems arising as a result of the ac- tivities of these pests," Prof. Gra- ham stated. "These insects are en- emies of forest trees and have al- ready caused heavy losses." The larch sawfly, he said, has in the past 20 years destroyed more than 69 per cent of all the merchantable tamarck in the Lake states. The spruce budworm, during the same period, has destroyed more than 200,000,000 cords of balsam fir in the same area, in New England, and in eastern Caanda. "The wood thus destroyed would be sufficient to supply our paper mills with raw material for halfa century," Prof. Graham remarked. ,If cut and stacked in a pile four feet wide and fifty feet high such a volume cf wo d would be sufficient to encircle the earth at the equator." "Results of our studies show that losses of this sort probably can be avoided by the application of prop- er methods. of forest management. What the best methods are we can- not say as yet. That is the purpose of our forest insect investigations. Progress Is Made "We have, however, made consid- erable progress and already have been able to make some definite recomendations. We have deter- mined, for example, that outbreaks of the spruce budworm originate in forest areas where balsam fir is predominant. By favoring the more valuable spruce and pines the re- sultant reduction in the abundance of balsam fir in the forest out- breaks the spruce budworm will be practicaly impossible. We have also determined that certain environ- mental conditions are favorable and others unfavorable to the mul- tiplication of the larch sawfly. "Thus by studying the insects in their relation to their environment we hope to deevlop methods of for- est management that will make our forests as 'insect proof' as possible," he concluded. UNIVERSITY OF BOSTON. Forty- five graduates of Boston are now serving as presidents of colleges or universities. IS UES TOF SCHIOJL Dean William Russell of Teachers college, Columbia university, will be the guest of the faculty and gradu- ate students of the school of Edu- cation at a luncheon to be given this noon at the Michigan Union. Dean Russell is spending the week- end in Detroit and will come from that city to Ann Arbor this morn- ing. Before his appointment at Co- lumbia in 1927 Dean Russell was dean of the college of education at the University of Iowa. In recent years he has been' actively engaged in studying various phases of inter- national education and has served as adviser to several foreign gov- ernments in aiding them to develop their educational policies. In 1921- 22 he was member of the China educational committee; in 1925-27 he was the American delegate to the world federation of educational' associations, and during 1925 was acting director of the Institute ofj International Education. Speaking before the American Association for Adult Education in its session this week at the Uni- versity of North Carolina, Dr. Wil- liam John Cooper, Federal Commis- sioner of Education, declared that the present educational level of American voters presents a hazard in the social and economical life of the country. With an average sixth or seventh. grade education,!which is the case of the American voting body, Dr. Cooper believes that such an. elec- torate can hardly be expected tol solve intelligently such problems as are presented by the complexity of modern life. He recommended the further expansion of the adult edu- cation movement, which provides for post-school study. The chief danger, according to the educational administrator, lies in the fact that America is now a creditor nation, and that as such the old order of isolation is no longer possible.
