TRIP TO POLE POSTPONED
Amundsen Unable to Get 100000 90
Needed for Expedition.

Christiania, Norway, April 15.-Of,
fetal announcement was made here
today of the pOstponement for year
of the Captain Road Amudsen eXpe-
dition to the north polar regions. The
Fran has been recalled to Christiania
and explorers are inclined to believe
that the plans will never be carried
out because of the apparent impos-
sibility Of raising the extra 100000
necesstated by the delay.
Since Teary reached the north pole
and Amundsen the south pole, public
interest in polar expeditions appears
to have cooled considerably.
Captain Amundsen will ask the Nor
wegian parliament in view of the ex-
traordnary predicament of the expe-
dition to make a grant of the neces-
sary money to keep it alive, but owing
to the heavy state budget, it is doubt
full whether he can get the appropria-
tion.

Rep resentatives of some of the older cen ters where supervision is now carried on urged this action even at their ex- pense and a possible reduction in the present monthly appropriation.
 Attention of the board of governors was called to the school extension bull letin just issued by the board of edu- cation showing arrangements already perfected for extension work in the way of music. lectures and general en- tertainment throughout the city on a scale that challenges comparison This extension work Is growing rapidly. It is filling the field opened by the wider use of the school plant agitation. Just as rapidly as centers are evidencing any interest the department of edu- cation is pushing the work into their field and offering every inducement for wide use of the facilities.
