 United States. For nearly a quarter os century he has held the chair of Amrican History in Harvard Univers- ity. He. more than any other person. is responsible for the method of the study of history from the original sources. Probably every student. of has felt the influence of the work of Albert Bushnell Hart. Thus his life has influenced nearly every homo. But few could boast of such a record.
 He Is a frequent magazine contribu- tor and is an editor of the American Historical Review. He has published many books among Which are: .F'orma- tion of the Union; Practical Essays on American Governments: Studies in American Education; Guide to the study of American History: American History, Told by Contemporaries (4 volumes).f and Foundations of Ameri- can Policy. His works are authorita- tive and are widely read. Distinctively American. they are much sought for by students of American life and Amer ican government. T
 In private life Professor Hart is plain, unassuming man. Like all truly noteworthy men. he has a hobby out side of his life work. and Professor Hart's hobby is the Loyal Order of Moose. It is the only secret organiza- ton to which he belongs, but he thinks enough of that organization to give up a portion of the only vacation he has taken in 20 years to speak in behalf of It's good work. As one of the governors of Mooseheart. a school near Chicago | for the education of the children of de- i parted Moose, Professor Hart has de- | veioped a plan for self-controI at that institution that is recognized by stu dents as a model in government

A World Survey Was Made

A World Survey Was Made
 Our churches know the needs that must be met. They know exactly how every dollar-every penny-will be used for the great est good without waste.
 A world survey was made by the churches that astounds business men in its thoroughness. County after county was studied; the coun- tries of the world were visited and reported in minute detail.
 How the Interchurch World Movement Originated
 Our churches said: ~The task of meeting the urgent needs shown by the world survey IS too great for us to do individually as denomi- nations. We must do this work together"
 So thirty great denominations are cooperating-each keeping its own purpose and identify-but all working together under the name of the Interchurch World Move mcnt.
 Because of this cooperation. 1t is estimated that over one million dollars will be saved alone in elimi- hating waste and duplication.

Audience

Russo & HockwalIs famous Georgia
Ministries played the Mason opera

Hundreds were turned away every

An old time minstrel show holds
the boards at the Mason this \week,
and Los Angeles has evidently been
waiting for an opportunity to again
revel in the pleasures Of the past and
enjoy the jokes, mirth and music OF
the old plantation show devoid Of the
many innovations which in recent
years have robbed the modern attrac-

An audience far larger than had

the show in the main was the kind

The opening is the kind that starts

throughout the first part bones and

which has made the minstrels ia

each other for first place, and negro
characteristics which bring forth
comedy impossible of imitation, go to

The voices are all good and the har-

that only c3mes from q chorus of
real negro singers.
Ed. Woods as the interloscutor is a
hit CT the first part and puts it over

solo is perhaps the best spot in the
opening scene.
