I, t ITIITH the determination of the University T7 of Utah administration and faculty to . maintain high standards of scholarship and efficiency there, all friends of the Institution and of the state will be in hearty accord. Standing as it does at the head of the public school system of Utah, and representing a .huge investment of money and effort on the s 'part of the people of the state, the University . should be made to produce ainear a maximum of beneficial results as can be obtained. In order to accomplish this, and to have Utah will to the front in the family of American colleges and uttiversities, a high standard must, ' necessarily be maintained. In this connection, a caution however, should be kepL in mind by those who have the guidance of the school in their charge. The maintenance of purely academic standards is not necessarily, or should not be, the highest aim of the University. Its real contribution to the welfare of the commonwealth, of the peopie to whom it belongs, is of paramount im1-portance; and sometimes this may demand, if not a compromise with, at least a tempering orq rigid rules of scholastic requirement. ma daet at , . ,4'. t,,. :.; 4 11 ;: I ,' ,1 tnie AUfnel7ersdalytys,agoandannoiduenleyemheenratlwded,as s ,,,.... - faculty committee had been appointed to pass ., on proposed cases of suepension for inefficient work.

Ws cannot say. Time . ' alone will tell" In addition to thia. the g discoveries Ernest Rutherford. of Cambridge, indicate another fascinating vista opened up by science. As a result of these discoveries he delares that the arttficial transmutation of chemical element! is an established fact. Deep mathematical or physical truths cannot be expressed in a sentence or two. .but the gist of this belief is that all matter of every kind consists essenthilly of the same 'units. That is to say, our smallest particles of matter are made up of post- tire and negative electricity, and all the differences in the various element, are produced mere(y by the different arrangement of these protons and electrons. as they are called, of the electrical energy. This brings physics and chemistry very closely together. It Points toward the missing link between the mineral, vegetable and animal kindoms. It suggests the possibill, ty of more amazing miracles than the transeRutation of lead to gold dreamed of by the old alchemists. This theory is not yet fully established. t but it is distinctly in the imaginative horizon of the scientists at present, and indicates very marked!? the direction in which scientific workers are traveling. The rand of man is continually struggling toward the fuller use of the universe' In which he lives.

Industrial feudalism has for ha TWENTY YEARS AGO. se- than in Iota,. and 27 per cent less than for the high record ot 1907. At that, it totaled nearly 34 billion feet, with an aggregate value of lit,- 300,000,000.

The states which, Increased their cut during 1920 are all in the Pacific Coast group and the Rocky Mountains. Washington remained first, as usual,,-- but Oregon attained second place by displacing Louisiana from a position held for fifteen years. California takes rank among the first five, displacing another southern yellow pine state. The Pacific and Rocky Mountain troupe of states combined produced 35.6 per cent of the total cut; the eight states of the southern pine group produced 34 per cent, while all the rest. of the United States produced 30.4 per cent. The removal of the adverse conditions, arising directly or indirectly from the war, may warrant' the expectation that the southern, pine will recover some' of its lost ground during the next few years; but the general indication' now are that the supremacy in lumber production, 'held hitherto by the southern pine states, has passed the zenith and is moving to the West. The penetration of the Kaibab. plateau in northern Arizona by a railroad, and the beginning of production of lumber from that magnificent would definitely fix western supremacy, beyond all controversy. , vice,' , s resent conference of scientists. one of them declared that a day must dawn When the last ton of coal and the last gallon of oil will have been consumed... taws Wondered what Is going to banPen to our enormous industries Which are based upon coal and oil 'obeli the supplies of them commodities ,shall are boon exhausted.
