WIN the exception of the communities
Where large numbers of the EMPLOYEES of

there seems to be a fixed relation between
the amounts promised and the populat ton.
In such places at Braddock, Homestead
and Duquesne, Mr.. Carnegie has sought To
provide not only library, but baths and
an auditorium, primarily for the benefit of
his employees.
The Pittsburg Carnegie Library Insti-
tute SO far has been the most highly fav-
ored by Mr.. Carnegie in this country. In
scotland 1t will be seen that Mr.. Carnegie
mas spent large sums. The library at AYR.
the native town of Robert Burns, is one of
the institutions of which he is most proud.
IN addit1on, Mr.. Carnegie has given con-
siderable sums TO churches, always in, the
same way, the gift of an organ or a paint
ing. His purpose is to educate the people
by means of libraries. museums and gal
lerles of paintings and statuary.
