Our Forests and the War.

Forest fires have again been most
destructive on public and private
lands of the Northwest. The peril.
which is always greatest at this sea-
son of the year. has been increased
by the midsummer dryness of the in
termountain regions. The great loss
thus caused Is matter of special
concern on account of the heavy de-
mand that war conditions have made
and will continue to make for wood
products and lumber.
The forests of Belgium and north.
ern France have been almost entirely
destroyed. Besides, the cut of timber
has been large elsewhere In the bel
ligerent nations to supply wood for
structural uses as well as for chemi-
cal distillatiOn to produce acids for
various trench uses and for the man.
ufacture of high explosives. Our sup
ply of wood is SO great that for war
purposes it is practically inexhaus.
tible. But there remains the demand
that will be made for reconstructive
work in Europe. The Federal Govern
ment has endeavored to prepare for
this by sending commissioners abroad
to study export markets and to ar
range to meet peace conditions.
The agitation Of the past few years
for the conservation OF our forest
wealth has been productive Of consid.
cradle good. Efforts In the preven-
ton of forest fires have resulted in
better system Of patrol and in the edu-
cation Of people in greater caution in
the starting Of fires in woods. Losses
have been considerably reduced, es-
pecially in the East. but they are still
much in excess Of what they should
be. Another step in advance has been
the reorganization Of the forest de-
partmeut In many Of the States. New
Hampshire through the introduction
of a non-partsan unpaid commission
and salaried forester has succeeded
In developing such an interest in for
estry that her example Is likely to be
followed by other New England States
that have large wooded areas.
Some of the States have made prog
ress in reforesta tion, notably Pennsyl-
vania, which planted last year 6.OOO,-
600 trees but the lumber cut still re-
mains greatly in excess Of the In
crease in growth Of trees. Upon the
value of refOrestatlOn authorities
seem to be agreed; but upon the ques
ton of when and to how great an ex
tent wooded land should be cut over
they differ. Professor A. b. RICK
NAGEL, In an address at the Cornell
summer school, said. regarding thu
prohibition upon cutting timber or
New York State lands, where there II
an abundance Of over mature lumber:
For war time production the State
land is a cemetery: 100000 Thousand
feet Of much needed timber are un
touched; 1900. 900 acres. Of which two
thirds are or should be productive, ART
withdrawn from Q share in supplying
the forest products needed In war nov
or in the future"

Growing a Character.

Character is what you are. Repu-
tation is what folks think you are.
Sometimes they are SO well balanced
that you can't tell one from the 9TH
er, says Grit. But more often the one
is a libel on the other Folks exalt
virtues that do not exist and condemn
follies that are purely subjective and
personal. Much depends on who re-
ports you. Friends are always chari-
table and interpret our lives to best ad-
vantage. Enemies can see no good in
us and report as they see. So repu-
tation may flatter or condemn. Not
so with character. This is something
beyond external observation. 1t is the
life itself as lived amidst its motives
and obstacles. Few people can know
its real value, for even you do not al
ways know just what you are capable
of being until the emergency demands
display your worth. What you are in
the face of severe testing is character.

University Functions,

What is the matter with our univer-
stiles is that all the students are
schoOlbOyS, whereas it is of the very
essence of university education that
they should be men, writes Ge6rN
Bernard Shaw. The function of a uni
versity is not to teach things that can
now be taught as well or better by
university extension lecturers or by
private tutors or modern correspond
ence classes with gramOphones. We
go to them to be socialized; to acquire
the hall mark of communal training;
to become citizens of the world in.
stead of inmates of the enlarged rab-
bit hutches we call homes; to learn
manners and become interchangeable
ladies and gentlemen. The social pres
sure which effects these changes
should be that of persons who have
faced the full responsibilities of adults
as working members of the general
community, not that of barbarous rab-
Bile Of half emancipated schoolboys and
unemancipatable pedantS.
