Controversy Grows Warmer

New York, Sept. 13-There was no
dminution today in the charges OF
bad faith and accusations Of down
tight dishonesty from the partisans OF
the rival discovesers of the North
Pole. and 1t was the opinion of unpre-
iudiced observers that only an author
itative geographical court of inquiry
would be able to Olsen angle the facts
from the meshes of jealousy and re-
elimination and nail the truth to the
pole of Justice. Commander Pearys S
latest broadside Is a dispatch in which
he says Cook handed the public a
gold blick
The use of the contemptuous phrase
"a gold brick" in referring to Cook
claim is looked upon by the champions
u DR.. Cook as particularly offensive
They regard IL not on:y as challenge
NJ his veraciy but as one of such
serious import in reflecting upon
Cooks methods that 1t calls for i'm
mediate substant7Ttion from Peary
Whether he will give this substantial
tion at once is open to doubt, in view
of his statement hat the proof woult
be presented when Cook made q 1ul
statement over his signature to some
geographical society or other reput
able body.
Commander Peary has sent no wore

club in ampllfication OF his dispatche

PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES

About IS new pupils were enrolled in
the different grades Of the public schools
last Monday. We now have over 600
pupils in our school and would have more
if our truant officers would be more strict.
Several of the teachers took an exami-
nation last Saturday in history of educa-
ton. They have been taking it this
winter as a subject at their weekly meet
ings
Miss Dameron is now filling the vacancy
caused by the resignation Of Miss Brooks.
At the close Of the first half of school
Ill pupils received certificates of attend
ance for never being tardy or absent, and
we expect to have more the last half.
This is a great scheme for increasing the
regular attendance.
Many of the city teachers are making
arrangements to take the state examina-
tons for STATE certificates, so we expect
to have several teachers in our schools
next year holding state certificates.
