JAMES A. BUCHANAN
The Real Progressive Republican Candidate For Governo
Norm al School Notes.

Teac hing as a profession in North
Dakota pays even better than can be
secured by persons working upon a
salary in any other line of work. OF
A Normal students who have secured
positions this year the average salary
is $78. 16 while the highest is SILL.
These pupils who are to receive these
salaries are all graduates this year,
and the majority of them have had al
most no experience in teaching. Some
of them are experienced country school
teachers and this has helped them to
secure the better places.
A comparison made with salaries
paid in other fields discloses the fact
that North Dakota teachers are better
paid than clerks, book-keepers, steno-
graphers and the majority of them re-
ceive more in salary than is taken in
by the average lawyer, doctor or other
professional man. Bank clerks in
this state are paid considerably less
than the average school teacher.
Teachers in the consolidated schools
of this state are being paid as high as
800 month. Their work begins at
nine in the morning and closes before
four in the afternoon, hours much
shorter than those of the average en-
ployee in other classes of work.
President Mcfarland has received
calls for more teachers than can be
supplied and the record of the school
shows that it IS harder to get $50
teachers than to find $50 positions.
In order to be near home and for
other reasons many of the graduates
have taken places at $50 and $55 a
month thus bringing down the average
salary paid.
The Music Festival, one of the great
est events of its kind ever undertaken
at any state school, will open at the
State Normal on the first three days in
June. Season seat sale of tickets are
surprising any year in the past and
the outlook for capacity house never
was better. The Minneapolis Sym
phony Orchestra will be the great at
traction this year and will give two
concerts. The price of tickets has
been considerably reduced over that of
last season.
In chapel Prof. Lucas has urged
every student to take part in athletic
events as far as practicable, saying
that teacher should understand what
interests student if he would keep
that students attention. ''Study the
baseball rule book" said he, ''for it is
the compendium of American Democ-
racy."
Public programs have this month
been given by the students of the Ex.
preston and Elocution department and
the Conservatory of Music.
President Mcfarland gave a public
concert for the benefit of the doctors
who attended the state meeting of the
Medical association. A program was
arranged by Dean Goodsell of the Con.
servatory of Music and nearly 200 ply.
sicians were present to hear it.

C0ok, Arctic Explorer
LECTURER MAKES DIRECT AND
SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST
., REAR ADMIRAL .PEARY.

iFrom Wednesdays Daily
The great Peary-Cook polar contro
yersy became live issue again last
night in Valley City, when more than
one thousand people listened to DR.
Frederick Cook present his side of the
case at the armory theatre.
Dr.. Cook came to Valley City as one
of the members of the Valley City
Lecture associations program, and
= the largest house of the season greet.
ed him. Before eight o'clock every
seat down stairs was taken, and the
gallery was packed by the time the
explorer and A P. Hollis appeared on
the stage.
The subject of what have been un-
doubtedly the most vicious and deter
mined attacks upon the character and
veracity of any man in recent years
made a distinctly favorable impress
sion upon his audience. DR.. Cook ap-
parently is a man who is either the
greatest .'faker" in history, or else a
martyr of martyrs. The reception he
received after the lecture, last night,
indicated that a large number of local
people thought the latter
Beginning with an account of the
preparations for his dash northward,
DIR. Cook declared that his trip to the
pole was only one of the objects of the
journey made by him III company with
his friend, John Bradley, the New
York capitalist Bradley made the
trip primarily as hunting trip, while
Cook had the pole as the object of his
search.
Starting at Etah, the northermost
supply point on the journey, the ex-
plorer took his hearers through the
barren grounds of the Arctic regions,
over the fields of moving ice where
neither, bird, fish or animal made it's
home, discarding useless impediments
and men, until the party was reduced
to three men, the one white man and
his two Eskimo companions, and they
were ready for their final dash for the
top of the world.
Vivid in the extreme was the &C
count of the hardships undergone, the
storms and cold encountered, and at
last the conviction that they had
reached the goal whice. a hundred ex-
petitions had vainly striven to reach

before. The Photographic views taker
on the trip, thrown on slides lent 8
touch of reality to the account of the
doctors journey, and it is probable
that there were but few in his audi
ence who were not with him in sym
pathy and in the belief in his con.
victions that he had really attained
the great nail" ~" '#@ h
The lecture was really defense OF
the doctors statement when he came
out of the Arctic regions, that he had
been the first man to discover the
pole. AS he reached the climax of
his journey, the return to the outer
world, DR.. Cook referred in explicit
terms to the controversy between him
self and Rear Admiral lPeary. He was
frank in making charges of dishon-
esty, selfshness, and commercialism
against his detractor, and accused
Peary of having been the cause of the
charges against Cook in the Mount
Mckinley incident. &

course will be the Neapolitan or

This view comedies with that Of
Great Britain, as Premier Asquith ex.
planned in his speech on Saturday.
The authorities at Vienna take
pains to point out that the military
conferences being held at Budapest
are not gincongruous with Austria's de-
sire for peace. They explain that
plans and precautionary measures
have been considered, but say they
will not be carried out unless Servia
should violate Austria's interests.
Plan Naval Demonstration. IL. ~
There has been some talk of a naval
demonstration on the Adriatic coast
when the Servians reach there, but
the carrying out of this depends on
the course of events. a..
In the meantime it is said that the
European powcrs,- at the request Of
Turkey, are about to sound the Bal
kan allies with the object of arrang-
Ing an armistice. 3 4. /

an armistice until the conclusion OF

Around Adrianople the Bulgarians
are going through some of the hardest
fighting Of the campaign. Dispatches
from the Bulgarian side state that the
Bulgarian troops suffered heavy losses
in the taking of the two Turkish forts
on Kartaltpe and Papaztepe, outside
Of the fortress Of Adrianople When
ever they wavered their officers and
priests exhorted them to 60 forward
at any cost. The fort at Papaztepe
was taken only after heavy reserves
had been brought up, so stubborn was
the Turkish stand.

London, Nov. 13.-The deadlock
continues in the international polit-
ical situation brought about by the
Balkan war. Neither Austria Hungary
nor Servia has given way on a single
essential point in regard to the future
OF Albania and the proposed occupa-
ton by the Servians Of a portion of
the Adriatic sea. ill.,. e.
Despite this, and the further fact
that the Russian press is daily inten-
Styling the warlike tone of it's support
OF the Servian cause, some of the Eu-
ropean chancelleries take more op-
ttmistic view of the condition of af-
fairs, assuming that the recent con-
ference between the Austrian and Ser
Wan statesmen at Budapest has
tended to relieve the crisis.
