Emulate the Example OF
Carnegie
WILL GIVE HIS ENTIRE FORTUNE

senting tho Mrs. Charles M. Schwab
school building to this town. Charles
NJ. Schwab. who up to a short time ago
was the president of the United States
Steel Corporation, said that he in.
tended to emulate the example set by
Andrew Carnegie, and will give his
entire fortune, variously estimated TO
be from $12,000,00O to s20,000,000, for
benevolent purposes.
Mr. Carnegie, now the chief library
and pipe organ builder. is the man
who took Mr. Schwab from behind the
counter of the village store at Brad
dock and eventually made him the
president OF the greatest corporation
Of the world.
Mr.. Schwab, however. says he win
give his fortune TO found industrial
schools and erect public school build
ings where they are most needed, but
least likely, without his aid, to mate

Mr.. Scnwab, IN the speech present.
ing to Weatherly the school named in
honor Of his wife, said he hoped our
American nation would always enjoy
its present proud supremacy-aye even
that It would eventually go forward to
even greater conquests.
The public schools, he said. deserved
In a great measure the credit for our
industrial greatness. They are the
nucleus around which the greatest ma
tion in the world has been built To
aid them. he said. was to aid this
country and to make 1t greater and
better than It is today.
For this reason he had decided to
devote his entire fortune TO the fur
therance of education and particularly
industrial education.
II is Mr.. Schwab's desire that the
public schools pay more attention to
the various trades and that in this
manner they may add TO the countrys
army of intelligent and energetic arti-
sans. IL was with this thought in mind
that he built and equipped at Loretto
Pa, an Industries school that Is pos
sibly the most complete in the country.

the mallet of Mr.. Love. Mr.. Swift did
not appreciate his danger until too
late, the glare of the sun preventing
him from following the ball in its
fight. When the ball hit him he did
not fall from the saddle and when his
companions galloped to his tde he was
at first inclined to make light of the
injury. He was induced to dismount
but walked without aid from the field.
Arriving at home he complained OF
dizziness and later on he went into a
delirium, which was followed by his
