NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENTS
IN PLANT. RESEARCH
I MILWAUKEE. — Explorations in
the plant world are as thrilling and
beneficial as any other scientific re
search, according to A. M. Fuller, as
sistant curator of hotany of the Mil
waukee Public Museuip
“A large, number of our important
economic and ornamental plants were
introduced into this country by men
who reached all parts of the world,”
said Mr. Fuller. “Nearly; all.our gar
den flowers and shrubs were obtained
in foreign countries—peonies . and
bleeding, hearts from Chinagerani
ums and gladioli from South Africa;
r.asturtions from South America, and
[tulips from Europe and Asia Minor.”

that would thrive in the Northern
, prairie States; Mark Carleton,. wheat.

TIGERT AS BUREAU HEAD
i William John Cooper, of California,,
who was appointed commissioner of
education by President Coolidfc,
succeed Dr.. Tigert,, assumed hi
ties on February 11.. He will h reet
the adjtvinisttration of the sch< for.
i natives of Alaska,, their medical relief
and their reindeer-industry; he will
perform certain duties .in relation to
the federal appropriation,vfor. land
grant colleges; he will he the admin
istrative officer of the .Bureau of Edu
cation and collect.such statistics and
facts as shall show the condition and
progress - of education, and diffuse
such information regarding the or
ganisation and management of
| schools and school systems and other
wise promote , the cause of education,
throughout the country; he.will direct
j research by specialists.within*the Bu~
1 reau of Education, print ucud^distrib
f ute their reports, and conduct exten
*sive correspondence presented b.y per
| sons interested in educational. affairs
I in practically every community,.of the
{United States , and in tidnign coun
rtcics. His position will inquire- ex
tensive travel,, surveying, * school; ,
| making addresses before gatherings
of teachers and school cfkattiis, and
1 his influences will extend to the utter
I most parts of the land.
Dr. Cooper is a young man, horn in
1882, educated in the elementary arid
secondary schools of California, and
graduated from the. University of Cal
iforniajn 1906 with the A. B. degree.
He earned his Master’s degree in 1917,
and his Doctor's degree in education,
in 1928. He has had. abundant and
successful experience as teacher and
school administrator in the high
schools, city school systems,, normals,
colleges, and has lectured on educa
tional subjects in the universities of
California, Oregon and Washington.
In 1927 he was appointed state super
.ntendent of public instruction of Cal
ifornia.
His professional, and personal rec
ords are such as to indicate that he
will be a worthy successor to Dr. John
J. Tigert, who resigned last Septem
ber to accept the presidency of the
University of Florida, and to a distin
guished line of commissioners.
Let Him Loose, .
He was one of the .. fire-and-brim
stone type and was .giving the audi
ence a few home truths. ,“Yes,. my
.friends,” he said, “although you are.
all above sin, each one. of you must
beware of the Demon. The. Demon is
chained to the wall, waiting to jump
out and. catch you. If you give him
the slightest chance he’ll stretch out
his hand in front and grab, you! Or
he’ll stretch out to the,right.- and
grab you! Or bel’Jl stretch out to the
.eft and grab you! And he’ll -even
stretch out behind and grab .youL” .
This was a. little too much for a
man seated, in the middle row of seats,
and rising to his feet he shouted:
“Well, the thing might as. well be
let loose!”
Or Maybe Crocheting;.
The vaung. man-in the corner looked
bored, and his host was touched.
Picking up an opened box of cigars,
he walked across to his guest.
“Have a cigar?” he asked.
“No, thanks. I don’t smoke-”'
The other was .rather surprised, but
he tried again.
“Have a drink?”
“Never touch it." .'
“Well; let's, .go in with the girls and
dance”—and the host linked his arm
in that of the ympig man. 4
“Sorry,” hesitated the youth, “.but
I really don’t dance, you know.’i
The other was dumbfounded.
- “Look here,” hp..concluded- lamely,,
“my wife has a ball of wool and a
couple of needles—what .about a spot
of knitting?”
“I wish,”.said the.clu&Jjorei “that,
one of you chaps, would, give me a
cure for insomnia.”
“Have yoy ever," remarked one of
his victims, “tried talking to youi*
self?”
