The rapid growth of State universi-
ties and other unsupported schools,
1t was brought out at the meeting
today, has added to the importance
of the university pastor movement.
More than 10000 students of Congre
gational affilia tions are enrolled in
these schools. at which all religious
work must be conducted by the local
churches. For the conservation and
DEVELOPMENT of this tremendous
asset for future leadership the So
ciety helps to maintain SO student
pastors at different points through
out the country. This, it was de-
clared is great national service,
for in each of these universities stu
dents from all over the United States
are enrolled Not only do these pas
tors help the student to think his
way through to an intelligent Chris
tian faith in the midst of the per
pleXities of modern science, but also
help him to keep in touch with the
church and to learn more of its re-
sponsibilities and service.
Another important feature of this
work is the development of friendly
relations between students of differ
ent nationalitieS and the creation of
attitudes that make for world friend
ship.
The council delegates were advised
that the young peoples Summer con
ferences are now recognized as one OF
the great factors in meeting the prob
lem of young people in the church.
such assemblies were held
this Summer, with more than 1900
young people in attendance. Each
lasts a week or 10 days,
during which time the young people
not only meet with leading personali-
ties in the life of the church. but gain
valuable experience in the working
out of their own programs. More
than one church has sent delegates
to one of these gatherings, ii was said,
to have them return with new ideas
and fresh enthusiasm. While recrea-
tion and fellowship are prominent
features, all of these conferences have
made great progress in the quality Of
leadership training that is done.
Today'S meeting was opened by
Prof. Luther a. Weigle of Yale Divin-
ity School. who spoke on the combined
work of the education and publishing
societies in religious education. Rev.

These, mind you, are not the real

cate the type of men selling Florida

they do nothing which is not within

They are found everywhere.
Which, after all, brings us back to
the starting point. If YOU are to in

investigation yourself and make your
purchases through a reputable and es-
tablished dealer. Not that this advice
is worth anything. Few seem 10

his hands that the complaints of ille-
gitimate sales must pass He is the
directing force for the investigations
which determine whether charges of
shady transactions are true He de-
clares that the percentage of com
plants is very small, compared with
the number of real estate transfers
taking place daily. And of the num-
Der of complaints received by the
Reslstfation Board, he says that half
OF them are unjustifed, or present
such petty grievances that they are
negligible.
l was impressed with the fact that
the majority of old Florida real
estate men with whom l talked
and by these 1 mean those who
have been i'll the business in the
State before the present development
admitted, on being asked the ques
ton. that a great many people will
lose money in the transactions they
have made down here. But they al
ways countered with the assertion
that great many more would make
money. Mr.. Roses objection to state
ments of this sort is that they are
ususally made on the spot, that they
are generalities not backed up by in
vestigation. and that if pinned down
to the actual number Of losses or
cases OF fraud the men who make
such statements will find themselves
without proof. Furthermore, he con-
tends that IL Florida real estate men
are aware of any cases Of misrepre-
sentation or fraud. 1t is their duty
to report them to the constituted au-
thorities. Such action on their part,
he states, Will result in a careful in
VeStigation of the facts. If the real
estate dealer accused is found guilty,
he will be run out of the State. If
those who make such charges are
unable to prove their statements, he
advises them to keep quiet.
Stories Spread Fast.
Mr.. Rose mentioned a situation which
l found to be generally true; that is
that a tale told once down here is i'm.
mediately picked up and passed about
on thousand tongues until, heard
once again by the man who started 1t =,
1t is unrecogniZable. This Is certainly
true of the stories of enormous real
estate values. Careful investigation
generally shows them to be grossly
exaggerated. The same thing may be
true of fraud. A story will go the
rounds that thousands Of people are
buying land under the water or in the
swamps Is a result of misinformation
and fraud. But it is probable that
investigation would reveal few Of the
stories to be true.
Mr.. Rose charges that many of the
fraudulent land deals-in fact, the
majority of them-have been perpe-
trated by men outside of Florida about
Whom the real estate men in the State
know nothing. Men will come into the
State and buy property and go away
and sell 1t in Washington, Chicago.
New York and other cities without
any knowledge of their transactions
coming to the attention of the Florida
real estate men. This, Mr. Rose con-
tends, puts the matter squarely in the
hands of those outside the State. He
has small sympathy for the man who
places himself in the hands of the land
sharks. He compares it to the man
who walks into the bank and hands
several thousand dollars to the first
uniformed attendant-on the theory
that. being in the bank, the attendant
is the bank

Believes Values Sound.

| asked Mr.. Rose about the mon and
women of small means who are buvine
oU-toot lots. These sales are made in
virtually every case on the representa-
ton that the lots will increase and
double in value within a few months
Mr.. hose answered that while he did
not approve of the practice of gr1aran-
teelng client a certain profit in real
estate. and that no firm ever estab-
Hshed itself on such a basis. he does
believe that the values in Florida are
sound. He mentions statistics of the
State resources 10 prove thiS-statis.
tics which 1 have given in previous
articles. He mentioned the fact that
men like Henry Ford, the Ringlings.
Roger Babson and many others have
had enough faith in Floridas future
development to invest large sums of
money down here
W hlle some values may be too high.
Mr.. Rose does not believe this is tr1e
OF the majority. He says he heard
the same predictions of a crash and
defiation in California during its rapid
development that are being heard TO-
day about Florida, and that they did
not come true. He has seen three dis.
tinct periods of unusual activity in
Florida, and has heard men say the
bubble will burst" during each one of
them, and the bubble has not vet
shown signs of weakening. He be.
lieves Florida's development, though
unprecedented in any other State, is
based on the fact that Florida has all
the resources to make it the richest
State in the Union.
He attributes the rapid rise in values
in some communities to the fact that
they were undervalued before. Flor
ida's weather, its agricultural and in
dustrial resources and it's nearness to
the country's center of population
make the present development sound
in his opinion.
On the other hand, there are men in
Florida who want the news to go out
that many of the investors down here

waters Of the Caspian sea- It is
situated just east Of Cape, Shik-

several miles in each direction from
its center.
Scientists sent to Investigate the

The captain had his attention

the coast.

kind to be made IN the CASPIAN sea,
