Radical Educational Reformer.

his service to the university and to the community in general as a reform CT, the world is familiar In a strictly literal sense he has not been a teach er Since he took office he has prac- tically never made his appearance in class room. But he has been q radi. cal reformer in educational methods He has put his original, independent theories of education into actual prac- tice. Clearing the field of all tradition he approached the business as If there were no system of education already in existence.
 But 1t is rot as smasher of tradi- tion that Dr. Eliot has distinguished himself most especially. His new educatlon' has been conspicuous not so much for what 1t has destroyed as for what it has constructed. In his inaugural address in 1869 he outlined an entire system of education from kindergarten to professional school adapted to the needs of America. That address contained the germ of all the reforms in American education brought about since that day. It was mighty and a heroic undertaking, but he has accomplished 1t.
 Future generations will look back to the administration of President Eliot as to a veritable educational golden age. In length it is unprecedented. His forty years of service are fourteen more than the combined terms of the five presidents who immediately pre- ceded him. Only one other college president, the famous Mark Hopkins of Williams, ever served so long. He has seen tn, student body grow from 1,o59 in 1869 to upward of 5000 in 1908. When he took charge at Har- yard there were only ffty-eight in- structors all told. Today there are $50. Under his competent manage ment the university's resources have Increased from two millions to sixteen.
 Dr. Eliot is tall man. erect still and of courtly dignity His almost seventy-f1ye years have not robbed him of the noble. virile bearing of his ear Her years, He still preserves the fig ure and carriage of an athlete. Long, fellow. Emerson, Holmes, Lowell these and many other friends of for mer days broke down under the strain of work and years. but there is not youth among the Harvard undergrad uates with a manlier physique than that of Charles William Eliot. whose forbears were preaching religious hb- erty when one of his predecessors at Harvard was praying publicly for the success of the American army in the 6eld with Washington.

Hard Worker.

For the first twenty-five years Presi- dent Eliot was misunderstood, misrep- resented, maligned. hated, with and without cause. It was only when the lesson of his absolute fairness was learned and when along with that les son came the conviction that he was a man of extraordinarily far vision that he was rewarded with loyalty among those about him such as is inspired only by the rarest among men. He be- gan his rule at Harvard with a two. fold conception of his functions. He was first of all the head of large and complicated establishment, plant val ued at some millions and with a large force of employees. From thfapoint he has always looked on the university as a superintendent might look on his fac tory. His efficiency in this direction is incomparable. In his executive capac. ity he has always been as hard a worker as his splendid physique and his wonderful endurance would permit. He finds great satisfaction in the fact that his work at Harvard has averaged twelve hours day and that without his summer holiday he would have had no more time for reflection and real living than an operative in a cotton mill. Fortunately for him he has al- ways fortified his sturdy physique with abundant exercise. His erect, dignified body astride big boned horse has been common sight to students hur- rying to breakfast. While he was a student and even after he became an instructor he rowed regularly, once ap- bearing in public contest on the Charles river. For twenty years he spent his summers with his family in a tent on the Maine coast.

DREAMS LEAD
 WEAK TO CRIME

Munich, June 2o.-In his new book on criminal psychology pr. Gross gives many instances showing that dreams often lead weak persons to crime and also cause women and children to make false accusations duplicating innocent people. He describes a most extraordinary case as follows:
 "On the threshold of a Constantinople mosque an Armenian Moslem was caught after killing small baby by decapita- tion. The murderer was perfectly calm and at once surrendered to the police. Here is his explanation of the crime Two years ago, while lying sick unto death, John the Baptist appeared to him in dream and said that God would allow him to recover if he agreed to sacrifice his baby when months old The Armenian promised to obey the command. He re- covered.
 "As the baby's seventh monthly birth day was approaching John the Baptist appeared to him several times in his dreams reminding him of his obligation. The Armenian promised to give half Of his fortune to the poor, and actually did so, but the mythical hero of his dreams still demanded that the sacrifice be made Before he killed the child the Armenian prayed for several hours, and receiving no sign of release from his obligation, he murdered his child

SCOPES AT IDEA OF
 A TIMBER FAMINE

St. Paul, Minn.. June 2o.-Frederick Weyerhauser, the undisputed king of ths lumber world. laughs at the idea that the denudation of the forests means an im- pending timber famine and declares that there is timber and to spare for many years to come. For years MT. Weyer- hauser has been tue dominant figure Tn the timber trade of Minnesota and Wis consin and at the present time, through his various interests which he controls from St Paul, has practically all the best western timber covered by tremendous holdings in Washington, Oregon and Idaho.
 "The denudation of the forests nas not been nearly as complete as newspapers have stated" said Mir Weyerhauser "1 should say that In Minnes ota and Wis consin, reported as having been practical ly cleaned up, there is still sufficient tim Der to keep certain of the mills going for ten or fifteen years to come. Some hills have closed, of course, and there are, it is true, large tracts which are bare or merchantable pine where heavy forests formerly stood, but the timber is not ex- hausted yet by a considerable margin.
 When asked when In his judgment the end of the present timber supply would
 
 marked that he does not believe any man need sit up nights yet worrying about 1t.
 "There Is still great deal of timber in the United States he replied, Fifty years is long time a Id 1t will require that period at least ard perhaps even more time to bring about certain con- dition under which the demau1 for timber will be ir excess of the supply from the United States itself. In the south the sup plies are still very large and in the far northwest they are equally great. Can ada still has a very large amount of tim- Der"
 Mir Meyerhauser's holdings of standing timber in the United States are estimated at eO,00O square miles. an area three- fourths as great as the entire state cf Minnesota and several times as large as some of the New England states. His en- tire holdings are managed from exceeding ly modest offices ia one of the older St. Paul bank buildings. MT. Weyerbauser's tastes are modest and many $50 clerk sits at . better office dssk than he uses to handle the business which lias given him q greater fortune than Rockefeller possesses.

Slow Investment Absorption Is
 Going On
IDLE CAPITAL PILES UP
Cheap Money Is Temptation for Spec alation-No Effect Yet Notlcea- ble of Republican National
 Convention at Chicago.
BY w. G. NICHOLAS.

New York, June 20.A slow, very slow investment absorption of stocks and bonds Is going on, but nowhere near in developed by this time. Idle capital Is pillng up at a great rate in all the fiscal centers of both Europe and America, and interest rates have dropped to very low levels. Yet people who own the money are afraid to go into anything which has in it elements of risk, preferring to let it lie idle and unfructifying in banks and trust companies rather than invest. Hence it is that time money in any amount can be borrowed in London as low as per cent and six months money in New York under per cent.
 Call money in London is quoted at A of
 per cent and in New York it can be had below per cent. Banks and trust compa- nies in this vicinity are reducing rates paid on deposits. An instance is related of a dormant personal account of $S00,J in one of the trust companies, the posses sor of which was notified this week that the per cent which had been allowed him would be cut to 1 per cent The big savings banks have not as yet taken for mal steps for a reduction of their interest rates, but such move is expected and must occur unless there should be a re- vival in business very soon which shall call into legitimate employment the great mass of money in process of accumula- tion. This piling up of idle capital is the most dsscouraging feature of the general business situation, and is a stolid and unanswerable offset to much of the sum- shine talk about returning prosperity.
