PASADENA, April 10.-Pasadena has
much to be grateful for to Throop Poly
technic institute and any and all assist
ance necessary to the complete carrying
out OF the ideas OF its generous founder
shonId be promptly forthcoming.
The following from the Star bears on
this point.
I'm the modern civilization Of America
schools have become an essential part OF
the great machinery OF the common
wealth for maintaining and advancing
the position OF the people towards
higher and better plane.
"The growth OF the communities is
due TO the development OF some force or
utility. the use of which brings people
wealth and prosperity. A passing
glance at the older and more developed
centers OF the eaet will show some NOV
ing cause for what growth and prosper
ity is present in each. People ere in
duced to move to and remain in local.
Hiss where they find the things they
seek and need. A community that is
wise will push forward the develop
ment Of that which constitutes it's
chiefest attraction. Pasadena is not
and probably never will be a great
commercial, manufacturing or financial
center. These things can not be relied
upon to add to her population to an
unusual extent. Nor has she greater
advantages as an agricultural center
than many other places In Southern CALI
fornia. But we have some advantage as
e place for homes, place where people
NAV live and bring up their families
under the most favorable circumstances.
No man with family who contemplates
settling in California will fail to consider
the future OF his children, both as to
their socal surroundings and the oppor-
tuuities for good education at moder.
ate cost. Churches, schools and the
general tone Of community are things
that carry the greatest weight with the
best people. These things are now to
be had in Pasadena to greater degree
than. in nthai ritv in this nart of the
The coming OF new railroad, Or a new
manuiactory, or the discovery Of valua-
BILE mines in our immediate vicinity
would be welcomed with the greatest en-.
thuaiasm by our people. But mono OF
these things has the same commercial
value to our city as the founding and
maintaining of educational institutions.
The increase of value of real estate de-
pends upon the growth OF the city
nothing will add so rapidly to our popu-
lation as fine schools. The appearance
of q new family means the spending of
from $500 to $4,000 year in the city
not one year, but yearly. We have most
excellent public schools, and they may
be improved we have good private
schools, and we have the Throop Poly
technic institute, the latter of the sort
for which there IL rapidly increasing
demand all over the country. 1t ID an

tees, composed of wsll-known citizens.
led by president OF established ability,
supported by com mpetent faculty, and
we'll equipped for the work il undertakes.
It has acquired as great reputation as
any school in the country ever attained
in the same length of time.
Before its permanent success Is fully
assured It requires further financial sup.
port. That support should come aa full,
heartily and easily as any project that
can be proposed. Selfish business in
terest will yield it as q tangible means
Of individual gain.
We are now on the high tide OF pros.

more to that prosperity than Thfoop

and profit to our city. This should be
the great educational center OF Caliior-
mia. and with persistent effort can be
made euch. Then will the forethought
of good Father Throop be appreciated:
& then will the fullness of his due be
reached. Then will tho homes reach
from the mountains to Los Angeles,
from the Arroyo Seco to Santa Anita,
and the center OF learning, arc, science,
literature, culture and permanent pros

the Valley.
