end of MacMillan’s twelfth expedition to the polar regions in the interests of science. The explorer and his nine companions characterized their trip as successful from a scientific viewpoint. One of MacMillan's major accomplishments in the far north was the founding of an Eskimo school house at Nain, which will serve to educate more than forty Eskimo children. Discussing this venture in polar pedagogy, MacMillan said: "We built the schoolhouse with the understanding that the English language would be taught. GermanMoravian missionaries there believe the Eskimo will be better protected from the white race if he can not speak their language." “After we left Nain and headed northward, we encountered a huge icc pack off Lack s land. We penetrated the center of the pack." MacMillan said, “and when the heavy

fog lifted we found that the Bowdoin had been carried more than thirty miles south.” “We were carried close to the shore of Hall’s island on the ebb tide and the Bowdoin was lifted completely out of she water and lay on her side wtih a badly damaged rudder. "We were whirled out by an eddy. We started the engine and for three hours tried to break through to open water, only 100 yards ahead.” The explorer said that a big iceberg missed the Bowdoin by inches as it emerged from the pack. He said the vessel was guided through a wide path made by the berg and passed with considerable ease through the rest of the ice jam. Miss Katherine Hcttasch, daughter of the Rev. Paui H. Hettasch. who has been a missionary at Nain for thirty-six years, was chosen as the first teacher at the Eskimo school, MacMillan said. “Next year we are going to take

up an American college girl to serve as Miss Hettasch’s assistant,” the noted explorer stated. Leavin Nain the expedition went to its scientific station at head of Anetalak bay, where it stopped for several weeks to gather scientific data. Double walls and windows, as well as triple floors, guarded the party from the extreme cold of that region. MacMillan said he was able to keep in constant touch with the outside world with a modem radio set. The party enjoyed broadcasts from many of the high-powered stations of America and Europe during the long winter nights, the explorer said. Icetnobile Is Used An icemobile—a contrivance perfected for the recent expedition—proved valuable in traveling, the explorer stated. This innovation, many times faster than dog-sled traveling, aided members of the party in traversing more than 200 miles. MacMillan reported a huge ice cap, which at one time was believed to have covered an area of 4,000,000 miles, as receding in size rapidly. He said the present area of the cap is approximately 700 square miles. Much of the scientific work was carried on among the Eskimo natives. Dr. Reginald Fernald of Harvard dental school, a member of the party, brought impressions taken of the Eskimos' jaws, which he will use to determine the effects of the food of civilization upon the Eskimo race. ‘ADAM’ ENTERS WOODS Journalist Starts “Survival of Fittest” Test in Wilds.

NATIONAL PARK ‘FATHER’ TO BE GIVEN HONORS Steffen T. Mather Retires After Doing Great Work for Government. BY HARRY FRANTZ Inittd Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Sept. 21.—Stewhen T. Mather, reporter of the New York Sun in the early 90s, decided that another metropolitan newspaper man had been quite right when he said. “Go west, young man!”. So he shook the dust of the city hall pavements and went west to build up anew “beat" of his own. Alter some successful years in mining activities, he was drafted by Secretary of Interior Franklin K. Lane to run the national parks. From the geysers of the Yellowstone to the crater of Killauea, from the snowy slopes ot Mount McKinley to the gorge of the Colorado. Mather made his rounds—nominally as director of flic national park service, of which he was first director and chief organizer, but always at heart a newspaper man. Won Support for Parks Mather's extraordinary genius for publicity was a vital factor in winning national support for the parks movement. He saw a “story” in every tall pine tree, in every hurtling waterfall and he wrote his pieces for the copybooks of time, usually in the form of appeals to congress to "save the scenery.” During his administration, Hawaii, Lassen volcano, Mt. McKinley, Lafayette, Grand canyon, Zion, Bryce canyon and Rocky Mountain were added to the national parks system, and congress approved the establishment of the Shenandoah and Great Smoky Mountains national parks. Broken in Health; Retires Last fall Mather got a bit tired of his mighty “beat,” and, broken in health, retired from public life. Now his friends, through an executive committee headed by John Hays Hammond, have organized the “Stephen T. Mather Appreciation,” with the purpose of establishing a suitable testimonial to his work. General participation in the testimonial has been invited. Two suggestions have been advanced as to the form of the appreciation. Ore contemplates the erection of an entrance gateway at Tioga Pass, in the Yosemite valley, commemorating Mather’s part in the purchase and donation to the government for public use of the scenic Tioga road. Another is the erection of a Stephen TANARUS, Mather chapel and community house in the Yosemite valley.
