GREENLAND.

The first explorer to attain the northern coast of Greenland was Commander Robert E. Peary, who accomplished that feats1 years ago today, May 8, 1900. It was 30 years ago that Peary began his explorations in that vast island, a large part of which has been a, terra incognita since it's discovery zt11e tcelander, Sum bjorn, in the ninth century. In 1886 Peary made reconnaissance of the Greenland inland tce-cap east of Dis co Bay Tn 1891 Peary led another expedition to the northeast angle of Greenland, and discovered and named Melville Land and Heilprin Land, i1y- ing beyond Greenland. He determin- ed the insularity of Greenland. for which he received medals from the American, British and Scottish geo. graphical societies. In 1898 he head ed another expedition and in 1900 rounded the north hern extremity of Greenland Archipelago, the last of the great Arctic land groups,9 and named the northern cape after Morris K Jesup, while the name of Peary Land has been given by geographers to a vast expanse of northern Green land which Peary was the first to traverse. The interior of Greenland was first crossed from east to west by Nansen in 1888. Greenland which belongs to Denmark, has an area of 46,74O square miles, but sup ports a population of only 11,893, chiefly Esl<inos.

pr. Hill, Peace Advocate

Rev. pr. John Wesley Hill, for years one of the leaders in the peace movement in America, was born in Ka1ida, O., fifty-three years ago to- day, May 8, 1863, the son of clergy man of the same name. Dr. Hill at tained much unenviable notoriety last Autumn owing to a $100,0OO breach of promise suit brought against by Miss Lucille CoVington, who was the manager of lyceum bureau which had charge of pr. Hills speaking en- agreements
 pr. Hill was educated at Ohio Uni versity and Boston Theological Semi nary, and was ordained to the Meth odist ministry in 1889. For some years he was pastor of churches at Sprague, Washington, Ogden, Utah, and Helena, Montana. In 1897 he re- turned to Ohio and founded the Fowler Memorial church at Fostoria- Later he served churches in Harris burg and Brooklyn, and in 1907 he became pastor of the Metropolitan Temple in New York, a position he held until he accepted the presidency Of the International Peace Forum. Dr. Hill was long active in politics as a Republican, and was chosen to deliver the prayer at the Republican na- tionaI convention in 1908, later ac- companying MT. Taft on his campaign tour of the northwest. He has also been active as a lecturer on peace and other subjects at Chautauquas and other public gatherings. In 1909 he occupied the pulpit of a London Pres byterian church for some months.
 The International Peace Forum, of which Dr. Hill was chosen president a few years ago, has Andrew Carnegie, Alton B. Parker and Charles w. Fairbanks as vice presidents, and Henry Clews, the New York banker, as treasurer The purposes of the society is to mould public opinion by maintaining literary and speakers bureaus, and thus create sentiment in favor of the establishment of a world court for the judicial settlement of all international quarrels. The Forum also works for peace in the industrial world, 'fby dfffusing infor- nation relating to economic questions, and thus safeguard the rights of life, liberty and property" One of its projects is to bring about the enact ment of a, measure making illegal the calling of 8 strike until the lapse of a fixed period of time, thus giving op- portunity for investigation by an Impartial tribunal"

NEwFoUNDnAND IN THE WAR.


 Although Newfoundland is a com paratively insignificant part of the British Empire, in wealth and popu- Iation, 1t has not Jagged behind, the procession in the matter of patriot ism At wars first alarm Newfound- land, although under no necessity of a man to the cause, inn mediately offered a contingent to the mother country. Being without a military establishment or war de- paftrnent, Newfoundland had no ma chinery at hand for organizing her military undertaking, but this was soon re1hedied by the formation of an association of patriotic and influential citizens, which provided the funds for the organization work. The outbreak of Iostflities found Newfoundland with a strong man at the heIns for Sir Edward Morris#who was born in St. Johns, just 5T years ago today-had achieved a reputation as one of the abIest statesmen of the empire He entered Parliament in 1885, and had held several important posts before he became Premier of Newfoundland in 1909. Sir Edward made several visits to Germany in the years pre- ceding the war, and on numerous oc- casions, in addresses delivered in Eng land, he warned the statesmen and people of the mother country that Germany was planning to attack her neighbors. While Newfoundland has an area, greater than that of the state of New York or of Ireland, it has a population of less than a, quarter Of a million. In view of this fact, the part it's government and people have taken in the war is a splendid echibi- tion of patriotism and devotion.

ton OF the Saltvillo School and Civic

Confusion often exists in the minds
OF the people in reference TO changes
in books used in the public schools.
The state Board or Education Is
charged with having made frequent
changes Of books and with having
made too many changes in II particu-
lar adoption. Sometimes the board Is
very erroneously blamed with a change
Of textbooks. when the facts are that
the pupil is buying new books on ac-
count OF being promoted from one
grade TO another.
The members Of the State Board of
Education are unanimously OF the
opinion that these various phases of
the use and change OF textbooks should
be carefully distinguished, and are
earnestly solicitoCs that the people
shall study the important questions Of
