to appropriate s. 800 to enable the coun-
ty public school commissioners to pro-
vide temporary public school facilities
for the large number of children Of
Chevy Chase and vicinity who were ex-
cluded from attending the public schools

Thomas X. Conrad, representing the
Democratic Voters League of Chevy
Chase, appeared before the county school
commissioners and the county commits
sioners here and explained the situation.
They represented that unless the county
esta blished school at Chevy Chase
about a hundred of the children of that
vicinity would either have to pay tuition
to attend the public schools of Wash
ington or go without public school ia
cilities, as the county public school near
est to Chevy Chase is three miles away.
To Purchase Portable Building.
The delegation urged that a building
into three-room school building. and
estimated that $3.50 would be sufficient
to pay the rent, equip the building and
pay the salaries of three teachers and
other expenses for one year. The school
commissioners, however, thought 1t a
better plan to purchase a portable build
ing.
The county commissioners had the mat
ter under consideration the greater part
of the day. and finally decided to make
the desired appropriation. The amount
will be used to provide and equip port
able building and pay the salaries OF
three teachers and other expenses of the
school for the next school year 1t is
understood TO be the intention of the
school commissioners to provide more
adequate school facilities for Chevy Chase
before the beginning of the school year
of 1913.

The board OF trustees Of the American
Academy i'm Rome have voted to establish
a chair ofthe fine arts in memory OF Fran
els Davis Millet the distinguished Ameri-
can artist who lost his life in the sinking

Theodore n. Ely, Edwin II. Blashheld,
Daniel c. French, C. Grant La Fargo and
Andrew r. West. They state that for the
perpetuation Of this chair trust fund of
at least slO0,0oO is required. The sum IS

utOrs will be inscribed in a memorial vol
urne. which will be deposited with the
archives of the academy. A copy OF this
volume will also be sent TO each donor.

ed TO Mr.. William A. Boring, treasurer, No.

this chair Of the fine arts. as a monument
TO his intense and active interest in the
welfare OF the academy, Of which he was
the chief administrative officer. The COM
mittee makes public announcement Of the
plan in order that his friends and ac-
quaintances may be able to avail them
selves OF this opportunity to honor him in a

DELAY FOR ARCTIC TRIP
Museum Seeking Man to Take
Place of George Borup.

The extent of the loss which has befal,en
the Museum of Natural History in the
death of George Borup. the young Yale
man who was drowned in the Sound one
week ago Sunday, was revealed Yesterday
by President Henry Fairfield Osborn at a
meeting of the trustees called 70 pass reso-
lutions on the explorers untimely end
There were few short speeches preced-
ing the resolutions, and then the meeting
took up the matter of the important eX-
petition to Croker Land. The executive
committee of the museum will meet about
May 10 to make "A final decision, but Presl-
dent Osborne said it was highly probable
that the search for the new Arctic territory
would have to be postponed for at least a
year. While it was comparatively easy
to get men in Europe who could lead such
an expedition, the president said, 1t was
practically impossible here. The museum
is now endeavoring, through Admiral
Peary, to get into communication with
some one who could take the responsibility
OF the trip.
Borup was 10 lead the $4,000 expedition,

Peary's boats. had been chartered for the
trip, and all save about $1,000 of the neCes-
sary funds had been secured. The directors
now do not wish to go outside the
country for q leader, since they are de-
termined that the expedition, when IL IS
made. shall be an American one in every
sense Of the word.
