high Coal and Navigation Company.
"Inasmuch'' he says, '.as it hath plea
sed the Lord to prosper me in the things
of this world" he proposes to begin and
perpeiuate Manual Labor School, or
Schools, in the free States of the West,
for poor children, white, colored and In.
dian, where religious education may
be given to them.
ITO have my intentions and desires
carried out as above expressed, l do
hereby give and devise to two manual
Irh hnr 10 ha he,
States in the West, the sum of twenty
thousand dollars to each of said two
schools; and to prevent all embarrass-
ment to my executives and executors, |
do hereby direct that whatever portion
of the said $4,000 shall remain unap-
propriated at my decease, of the said
sum or sums, that all such deficiencies
may oe made up by transfer of mort
gage loan o: the Lehigh Coal and Nayi-
CATION Company at par, and Lehigh
Crane Iron Company stock at 500 a
share, as my said executrixes and exec
utors may elect.
And do hereby direct that the land
for these schools be bought where now
am in negotiation to purchase, if they
can be made, viz: a tract one aud half
miles square in Iowa, near Salem, and a
tract Of two miles square in the Indian
Reserve, Indiana; and if these tracts
cannot be bought, to buy as near to them
in point of quantity, quality, price and
healthiness as can be accomplished, so
that not exceeding one half Of the sum
of $4,000 allowed to each place be laid
ont in the land and its improvements;
and the other half in the building neces-
sary.
And to have the care and management
of said schools, i, is my desire that they
may be Incorporated by law from each
State in which they may be loca:ed as
early as convenient; and further, order
and direct that the condition OF the gran,
Of land and improvements referred 10 for
each school, is that, in no case or under
any circumstances, is the fee simple in
the schools granted so as to subject any
of the said land and improvements TO be
ever sold, or in any way embarrassed, or
accountable for any debt the nstitution
or those having charge of the institution,
of either Of them, may engage in; SO
that the annual income from the estate OF
the school for each year be only accoun-
table for its debts for that year.
