"a NATIONAL FREE COLLEGEo
Collections for 1t Being Made in
Philadelphia.

For a number of weeks in drug stores
and other shops throughout Philadelphia
there have been public collections solicited
ostensibly for an institution known as the
National Free College" The subscrip-
lions are taken up by means of the IA
miliar glass bowls, the tops of which are
provided with slit wherein to drop coins
Affixed to these bowls is circular with
the picture of children in various poses
also the words, Education is the hope Of
the nation. The circular then recites the
history of the National Free College, say
ing that it was formed by wealthy citi-
zens. Various addresses are named as the
headquarters of the school, but inquiry at
these places failed to reveal any informa-
ton concerning the college. 1t was finally
learned that Arthur T. Alternately was the
manager of the college" Mr.. Alternately
handed out an eighteen-page circular re-
garding the college" but declined to give
any information further than that con-
tanned in the paper.
The pamphlet declares that the purpose
OF the association is to found a national
free school where anybody in the United
States can secure an education equal to
any in the country. The main purpose is
announced to be the donation and distribu-
ton each year of 1000 scholarships, in
Guiding free board, in different parts of
the United States
Among these interested in the move
ment. according to the circular, is Arcade

de Charanne of Paris. whose recent novel
exposing French society has created a
worldwide sensation, and whose services
to the American soldiers during the Span
ish war have made her known as the

ence Nightingale of America" Others said
to be connected with the scheme are Prof
Marion B. Learned of the University Of
Pennsylvania and Commissioner of Charf-
ties John w. Keller of New York
Prof. Learned denied that he was in any
way connected with such project or that
he knew anything about ii.
Commissioner Keller according to the

name had been misused; that he knew Of
NO such college, much less had given per
mission for the use of his name. and that
