He SAYS


Boston, Aug. t. Or. Charles w.
Eliot, Harvard's president emeritus,
has taken his stand with those who
believe that the Bible Is not to be lit
orally accepted as infallible. In a
statement made here in reference to
the reason why the Bible and Shake
speare were not included In his five
feet of books he said that the bible
Is antiQuated."
do you not think the Bible and
Shakespeare should be included in
your list?' was asked.
These volumes will be read by ev-
cry one more or less About the Bible
many things in this volume are anti
Quated, and it is a question in many
modern minds whether 1t is always ad-
visable to advocate the reading of this
to the extent Of excluding many other
books.
However, the Bible viii always be
read, and the same may also be said OF
Shakespeare"

which might be raised because it is an
extraordinary trip. The quickness
with which he climbed Mount Mckinley
and the ease with which he got to the
north pole aroused suspicious. but in
regard to the polar trip, Peary made
practically the same time.
"Peary says that he has proof that
Cook did not reach the north pole.
Why, he can't have. In all the history
of exploration, never before has there
been raised the question of the truth
of an explorers statement"
HANDLED MEN WELL
Regarding Cooks ability to lead and
handle an expedition, Taylor said:
while many may think that Cooks re-
served manner might handicap him in
leading men, l believe that with his
large force of stored energy behind
him and with his native diplomacy he
would be able to handle men extremely
weu. This was not his first expedition.
He commanded the Miranda expedi-
tion, which was wrecked on the coast
of Greenland.
In 1892 Cook made a trip, his first
as surgeon in Peary's expedition to
Northern Greenland. Subquently he
went with one of Peary's expeditions.
In 1897 Cook went as surgeon on the
Belgian expedition, sent out to the Ant
arctic under command of Captain
Amundsen by the Belgium government.
That expedition was the first to pass
a dark. or summer season, equivalent to
a northern winter, in the antarctic.
Cooks book on the trip is entitled The
First Antarctic Night
He went on that expedition on two
hours notice. It came about in this
way: when Doctor Cook learned that
the expedition was being formed he
wrote, asking for the post of surgeon.
He received in reply a letter saying
that a Belgian had been appointed sur
geon. Later he received cablegram
asking him to join the ship at Rio de
Janeiro. He had just two hours to
catch the steamer for Rio, but he made
ii.
THAT illustrates the character of the
man"
The mosta interesting memory which
Taylor entertains of Doctor Cook ius OF

achievement of the discoverer
