In the person of Rabbi Leon Har-
rison, of st. Louis, the school authori-
ties are bringing the most noted and
capable man ever used for a com
mencement address IN this section Of
Missouri.
He is a political reformer, a relig-
ious liberal, and above all an enthus-
iastic educator. .
DIR. Harrison has an immense fol-
lowing in st. Louis. His increasing
public duties compel him to refuse
nearly all Of the scores of invitations
received by him TO deliver Winter Ly-
teum courses. But, in the Spring and
early Summer, he speaks almost daily
at the commencement exercises Of high
schools, colleges and State univer-
sities. Last Spring, DR.. Harrison de-
livered twenty-eight commencement
addresses in Missouri and Illinois. He
was obliged to refuse twenty-four in
vitations that came too late to be
booked.
For the past twenty-four years, DR..
Harrison has been Rabbi of the
Temple Israel, st. Louis. He had the
boldncss TO be among the first to in
troduce Sunday services In the ancient
synagogue. These Sunday services Of
Rabbi Leon Harrison In the Temple
Israel are among the notable features
Of st. Louis. The commanding elo-
quence Of the man, his fervor and rare
personal magnetism, fill the Temple
to overflowing, equally with Jews and
Christians, men Of every race and
creed.
To quote from q recent is
sue Of the st. Louis Repub-
lie, "Onc of the striking features
NJ this Temple Israel Sunday SER
vice was the cosmopolitan character Of
the audience. Every profession, all
kinds OF business, every phase Of
religious thought, and all the strata
Of society, were represented in the
gathering. When DIR. Harrison enter
ed the pulpit, he faced sea Of faces
which filled every foot Of the floor
space in the large building. Long be-
fore he appeared, all the seats hnd
been taken, standing room was AT a
premium; and more than 500 persons
were outside. undecided whether to try
to crowd In or rctrace their steps.
One uf hi, most powerful addresses
was delivered u, the Mckinley OBJ
sequics in the great Exposition Coils
cum before 10000 people. Even the
dread solemnity Of the occasion could
not restrain the assembly from cheers
and tumultuous applause. DIR. lIarri-
sons scholarly and powerful lectures
are examples Of the best there Is In

SURVEY OF Pine TIMBER
REVEALS QUICK GROWTH
STATE UNDERTAKES iNTEREsT.
ING STUDY.

Alexandria, La.-How fast does q
pine tree grow? Does a shortleaf
grow faster than longleaf? How
many cords of wood will stand on an
acre OF ground at the end Of fifteen or
twenty years? How long does it take
to grow saw log?
These and a number OF similar ques-
tions will de definitely answered, at
least for Louisiana. when a field
party from the State Department
Of Conservation completes a survey
covering most OF the econd-growth
piney woods Of Louisiana. The re-
suits Of these studies, when combined
with similar studies being made in
other Southern states, will be pub
lished for the use Of timber owners
throughout the South. The men now
at work in this state are s. A. Tru-
FAINT. Jr., Of New Orleans, and w. H.
Thompson, of Ola, LaSalle Parish.
During the past month they have been
measuring stands in Calcasieu, Beau
regard and Vernon Parishes, and are
now working out OF here. They report
surprisingly rapid growth in young
stands on old fields and cut-over land
The growth Of virgin timber is very
much slower.

The Third Southern Forestry Con
gress will convene at Atlanta. Ca,
July 20-22, 1t Is announced by Presi-
dent Henry e. Hardtner, of Urania,
La. The Congress is composed not
only OF professional foresters and con-
servationists. but of representatives Of
the farming. naval stores and lumber
industries OF the South. Secretary OF
Agriculture w. H. Wallace, governors
Of the Southern States, United States
Senators, and other national figures
are expected to attend. The main sub
ject for discussion will be the place
Of reforestation in solving the cut-over
land problem Of the South. There are
estimated to be 90,000,O00 acres ct
cut-over pine land alone in IL Southern
states, and only 23,000,000 acres Of
virgin pine timber left.
