the weather experienced in the polar
regions. When the air is dry and still

lure can be borne with ease. One ex-
plorer tells us that with the thermome-
ter at 0 degrees it was too warm for
skating. The summer weather in this
region is. moreover. in some respects
pleasant and healthful. Within the
arctic zone there are wonderfully col
orded sunrises and sunsets to be seen.
They are both brilliant and impressive.

SCHOOL BOARD IN NEED OF $8O,OOO
 FOR HIGH SCHOOL
Committee Appointed To Dig Up Extra Appropriation For
 Building Work
Supe rintendent Deane Reports Inereae Of 1 ,425 In School
 EnumerationS

The board of education wants ESQ., 900 more with which to build the new high school. At the meeting of the
 board last night Commissioners E. H. Ravens, w. B. Boardman and N. w Bishop were appointed a committee to confer with Mayor Wilson and the board of apportionment and taxation to ask for this amount. The lowest
 bids for the school complete which were opened at the meeting of the board Monday night made the price S38O,825. Of the $40O,0O0 bond issue
 available but $315,000, the remainder having been used up in the purchase of site, architects fees, etc.
 Durkin & Lass of New York, the
 senior partner of which firm is a
 woman, were the lowest bidders for
 the construction of the school The
 bid of this firm was so far below that of other contractors that mem bers- of
 the board decided to investigate the
 standing of the firm before awarding g
 the contract. Commissioners Cullinan
 and Webster were appointed a com
 nittee last night to act with Archi- tect Rogers in irlvesti gating the stand ing and work done by this concern.
 Tuesday and yesterday, members. of the board of education were in confer
 ence with Mayor Wilson in an effort
 to devise ways and means to raise the
 money. Dr. c. w. Deane, superintendent of schools. reported the school enumera- ton as 25,216, an increase of 1,425 over last year. Superintendent Deane reported that Martin Gulick, the boy
 who fell from window in the Staples
 school, and whose mother has asked the board of education to pay her damages, was not seriously injured.
 Superintendent Deane reported that the boy was at fault for the fall and the board in way responsible for the accident.

Meyer Delivers
 Inspiring Talk
 On FraternaIism

The 22nd annual meeting of Court Pequonnock, No. g. F. of A., followed
 by the initiation of 21 candidates and
 a social session which lasted until a late hour was observed on Wednesday
 by the presence of high officers of the order including Grand Recording
 Secretary William T. Meyer; Sub
 Chief Ranger F. R. Canf1eld; Past
 Sub Supreme Ranger John Lyddy.
 During the meeting Grand Record ing Secretary Meyer was called to ad-
 dress the order upon action taken by the Supreme Court convention at At Iantic City which aimed at radical changes in the membership and num-
 Der of city and town lodges. For eign speaking courts were discussed
 at length and the amalgamatton of lodges in this city considered.
 In the address which was forcefu1 and analytical the grand recording
 secretary is said to have entered into the history of lodges and associations. both from a, philosophical as well as traditional standpoint and members
 speaking of the beautiful thoughts presented by the official commend the words uttered as original and worthy of note among the archives of the organization
 From those present it was learned that the source of fraternaI fellowship
 as accepted by Secretary Meyer is substantially as follows: That even
 as it has come down to US from olden
 time that fellow men should combine for the common veal and welfare, so
 is> it necessary today. In the oIden times people were fewer in number and while nature more bountffu11y provided for their needs, combination and cooperation became necessary for
 physical protection As the earth
 became more thick1y populated, and the advance of civilization changed living conditioNs, it became neces- sary in order to procure food and other necessaries that a medium of exchange be effected which resulted in the issuance of a standard known today as money.
 Carrying his thoughts still further the speaker outlined the method of
 living in the earlier days of the me
 diaeva1 ages, when church and state controlled. He brought out with
 great emphasis the rising necessity at that time for fraternal brotherhood that with increasing education the
 irksome acceptance of practical char ity. might be overcome. He showed
 the organization of fraternities at that
 time for mutual assistance and pro- lection, not from physical violence
 as before but from needs arising
 from the greed Of the stronger and more educated of the races, and show
 ed at the same time that same neces-
 sity today inspired bands of men to
 ally themselves for greater protection
 and association.
 He expressed his belief that through
 all time to come the spirit of fratern- ity was bound to augment and that he who individually today seeks to
 better the order to which he belongs is aspiring to higher and better ideals
 in life and is doing his full share for the betterment. comfort and happiness of the whole human race.
