Institution or University, or Both !

lng11tuI1On or University, or bOthy
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The Incorporation Of the Carnegie In
stitution' raises the question In my mind,
and, no doubt, in other minds as well,
whether this movement means the aban-
donment Of our long cherished ideal. a uni
versfty to be established as a suitable me-
mortal to the illustrious founder Of the re-
public The filing of articles Of incorpora-
ton discloses an important fact. however,
namely, that the contemplated establish
ment Is not to be university at all. II
Mr.. Carnegie had any intention to found a
real university he would most assurediy
not call 1t an institution" I take it,
therefore, that the present move on this
interesting chessboard is not designed to
supplant or sidetrack the projected uni
versty which is designed to serve as a
memorial to Washington.
The letter in The Star Of the 9th instant
from w. d. Burbage seemed to be most
timely and opportune. The plan outlined
in Mr.. w. c. Pennywitts memorial to
Congress ought to receive careful consid-
GRAFTON at the hands of the people who are
interested in higher education. That paper
treats the university proposition from a
strictly American point Of view, and at
the same time with a humanitarian senti-
ment as broad the world. 1t would be
no easy thing to find anywhere in all liter
ature better expression of the Christian
spirit than is found in the following para
graph taken from that memorial:
THUS the vast benefits following from
our great, central institution of learning
will be carried directly to the very homes
and hearthstones Of our people. And not
to our people only, but to the wide world
also. We could not. IL we would, keep all
the good to ourselves. We would not. If
we could, keep our angels at home. They
must go forth to carry light and hope to
humanity everywhere, but when they go
out it will be in order that archangels may
come in

Benevolent Generosity.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In this time Of marvellous general pros
perity, and generous, even munifcent, CIV
unexpectedly on the part Of large corpo-
rations, railroad and insurance companies
banks and manufacturers, to their faithful,
ard-Workfng employes-would 1t not be
well If some Of this generosity also reached
this city Of Washington There are spo-
radio cases Of this here already. 1t is true,
and it Is Of course generally known Just
which are the great, exceptionally prosper
GUS and safe business institutions that do
this. but surely 1t should be general and
marked here as elsewhere.
Washington certainly has greatly pros
pered this past year, and our houses and dear
ones have In every way been gladdened by
this wonderful prosperity, even down to
the servants Of our households. But this Is
not altogether disinterested benevolence;
much of 1t is really to ourselves for our
own personal interests. Let our generosity
also extend beyond ourselves and our own
homes; let 1t also go out to all who are un-
der us; all who are concerned with us In our
business relations our subordinates, many
Of whom sadly crave and need this practi-
cal, cheering reward and appreciation, this
real We'll done, thou good and faithful ser
want" and who assuredly will render even
higher, better service because Of 1t In the
future. Let 1t be remembered at this aus
plclous beginning OF a new year that there
are many Of these heartsick and sore with
hope deferred" looking for that we'll
earned increase and promotion that how
ever, does not fully come. The wise Car
negfe has of late learned that the greatest
happiness as well as enduring fame lies in
making others happy and contented. 1t
is indeed true-true as gospel-it Is gospel

ed a certain letter, recalls to the Bee
the methods ADOPTED in the Post
Office Department to disgrace a man
II he IS not liked. The public and he
friends of Mr.. Russell believe him iuno
cent. 1t is claimed that Mr.. Russell
has beentin the Post Office Department
Tor a number of years and has ALWAYS
born an upright character and reputa
tion. A man who has been in the de
partment so long and has never been
caught in the slightest act Of wrong
doing whatever. will not be Judged
guilty OF an Offense charged against
him. like the recent one, especially
when the evidence is not positive.
1t IS claimed that when Mr.. Russell
emptled his bag, one letter was found
lett in it. Would it not have been
better to have allowed the carrier to
have carried the letter home and see
II left it there before he was placed
under arrest. What evidence is there
that young Russell left the letter in his
bag? 1t is Gained whenever a man
IS disllked by any one, Cases like the
one fRussell's happen. There should
be more positive proofagainst him.

AFRICAN M. E. CONFERENCE.
by Visiting Pastors Civ
ven at the Euening Session.

The opening service Of the thirty
ninth annual session of the Washing
ton Conference of the African Metho.
dist Episcopal Church was held al
Asbury NJ, E. Church, Eleventh and
K streets, n. w. Wednesday morn
ing. The church was packed TO the
doors with visiting cOlored pastors and
their friends. who listened to short ad-
dresses of welcome from NJ. w. Clair,
|. L. Henson, and Rev. Earnest Lyon.
A response was made /. w. lovce.
of Minneapolis, who is presiding officer
of this conference. The afternoon ses-
sion was a brief one, being 81 en-
over to receiving written reports of
the various pastors by the conference
treasurer.
The principal speaker Of the even
iug session Of the conference was Rev.
!. d. Gamewell, a representative Of
the Methodist Episcopal Missionary
Society, who had devoted twenty
years of his life to miss iol work IN
China. Mr.. Gamewell was at the
British Legation during the seige OF
Pekin, and his story of the dangers
and hardships of the besieged foreign
ers and their final release was ex
tremely interesting. The speaker
gave a detailed account of the meth
DDS adopted by the legationers in de
tending themselves for nearly two
months against the guns of the enc
my, fire, famine, and disease, and he
was intently listen to for more than an
hours time by the large audience,
which filled the church to the doors.
Mr.. GameWell was followed by the
Rev. Alexander P. Camphor, rresi
dent of the College of West Africa,
which is located at Monrovia, Liberia,
West Africa. Mr.. Camphor came to
the United States recently for the pur
pose of endeavOring to secure SIS, 900
from the various churches in the
United States TO promote education
in his conntry. Under his direction in
West Africa are thirty three auxiliary
schools and one college, and he devot
ed the time allowed for his address in
exp aiming the needs of the people in
the country from which he comes.
Another speaker of the evening was
Rev. G. w. Jennings, who talked on
the Washington Conference as a Mis-
lionarv Force. Music was furnished
by the Mt. Zion NJ E. Choir.

THE JUVENILE COURT
Separate in deed and IN fact. Why
have a separate Judge.

1t is the opinion of many that since
there must be a Juvenile Court, the
prisoners should be kept separate and
apart from all others. There is no
reason why that separate judge be
appointed to try the young affender of
the law.
The citizens should petition Congress
and ask for the establishment of sep
arate Judge. Justice Anson Taylor
would be just the man for such a
court. He is a humanitarian with
good sense and sound judgment.
