lection Of funds for the La Fayette monu-
ment to be unveiled at the Paris exposition
on July 4, 1900.
The cost of this monument is estimated
at $25O,0 and it is proposed that this
sum shall come directly frcm the people,
and that the school children of America
shall assist in raising it. October 10 was
selected as the date to bring the matter be-
fore the schools because it is the anniver-
sary of the surrender of CORVALLIS at
Yorkt own, an event that practically marks
the end of the war of the Revolution, in
which La Fayette and the troops of France
rendered efficient aid.
When he revisited America after the war
La Fayette laid the corner stone of the
University of Vermont and heroic statue
of this country's frie n aud defender stands
at the entrance of the college grounds.
"In 's,clty Of Paris there is a convent
and ,lr,.on known through the immortal
Hugo's Les Miserables,'" says the circular
mt out in the interests of this matter.
"In the grounds of this convent is a small
GENET cry where nearly 1900 victims of the
guillotine were buried Unfortunately.
Here also repose the bones Of La Fayette
beside those OF his wife who wished to be
buried there. The resting place of La
Fayette, generally unknown and forgotten,
is marked only by plain granite slab"
No more graceful observance of United
States day at the Paris exposition could be
conceived than the unveiling of a monu-
ment to the noble Frenchman whom Amer
leans hold dear.
