The cost of keeping up tho town wells
will pay the interest on one-half the debt
for water supply from mountain spring.
With fire plugs, we would have no use
for the ire engine and could tell 1t.
Which is in Education or Wdter. Who
can say that they ever saw the educated
work the fire enginei The ministers,
lawyers, &c, stand back and look on
willie the uneducated put ont the fire.
We can live without knowledge but not
without water.
This is not the only phase of the CASE,
Pure water and sufficient supply for
mechanical purposes are also important
With q reservoir We could work our own
electric plant.
1.-THE municipality cannot afford to in
quire into this matter, cost, &c., let the
people take 1t IN hand and get subscribe
to stock and then make it their first
business to have good water supply.
Until this is done, we need not expec

RHMPLARS' MIGHTY PLAN.
A Great National University for
Master Masons' Children.
AN ENDOWMENT OF $50, OOo,-
600


Boston, Mass Aug. 20. In their
pursuit IF methods for putting luto
practical effect the principles OF
their order-Fraternity, Fidelity,
Charlty-sOme OF the prominent
members OF the Knights Templars
are developing PROJECT which. If
realized according to the ideas OF
It's orlginatorS, will prove TO very
grand aud oommendable one in q
remarkable degree. They are
planning the establishment OF a
great national university for both
sexes, to be controlled b. nd IN
the interest ofall MasOns, with a
permanent endowment of not less
than $50, 100000, at which the
children of all Master MasOns,
whatever their MEANS can secure a
complete education, from the age
ten years and upward, along any
lines of instruction which they may
desire.
The scheme cOntemplates the
erection of a su fficient number of
fire. proof university buildings to
accommodate 10000 students,
structures specially designed for
the purpose and equipped with
every facility and appliance known
to be necessary or desirable for
the pleasure, exercise,Or education
of its pupils, including It's own
electric plant, water works, etc ,
the establIshmentaud maintenance
under tie most competent insUruc-
tors to be secured tor preparatory
or academic department and d'-
partments of liberal arts, law,
medicine, science and theology aud
technology, also an industrial
school, thus being true university
in which the student eau secure an
education and training along a. y
line which he may desire to pursue ,
ITS REVENUES AND LOCATION.
While the child of 10 living OF
dead Master Mason will be refused
admission TO the institution on &C
count of lack OF means, it Will be
in no sense a home or charitable
Institution, but is expected to be
self supporting.
The plan contemplates, further,
the unlfOrming of all students,
the boarding and rOomiDg of them
within the university grounds and
the leasing of grounds for a nOmial
sum, for the erection of homes to
such parents as are not willing to
be separated from their children
during the term of their education;
such houses 10 I've transferred to
other parents when no longer need
ed.
The location agreed upon for the
institution is a beautiful tract OF
elevated land on the Ohio River,
near the West Virginia line, fac
ling the river for three miles.
The projectors anticipate M
difficulty III securing the necessary
endowment; in fact, they assert
that the idea has met with such an
enthusiastic reception from which
all knights who have been consult
ed that four times the amount
necessary could be secured.
