A Notable Gift to a state Institution.
A few days ago Hon. James M.
Smith, of Smithsonia, made known
to the undersigned and to Mr. H. J.
Rowe, resident trustee, his gift of $10,-
600 to the State Normal school, to go
towards the erection of a science and
Industrial hall. On the following day
Mr.. George Foster Peabody, Of New
York, gave $4,000 for the same pur-
pose. Both gifts were conditioned
upon the friends of the school raising
$4,000 additional, thus providing for
a $4,000 building.
The last legislature appropriated
$4,000 to the Normal school, provid-
ed the friends of the school raised
$4,000 within one year. AS soon as
the $4,000 is raised the Normal will
have $4,000 for building purposes.
This will put the school in good con-
dition for the present.
Mr.. Smith spoke Interestingly of ed
ucation at the time of our visit.
Among other things, he said:
Il have been considering for some
time how l might best serve my state
in some permanent and useful way,
and I have decided that in helping the
educational interests of the state I can
do most good. A large portion Of the
people of the state will always be edu-
Gated. but in order for the state to
grow greater and stronger in every
sense, it is NECESSARY for the masses
to be educated. How to reach the
masses is the question. This can best
be done by we'll trained teachers.
What is put into the school through
the teachers will appear in the life Of
the people, Now, we need more knowl-
edge of the sciences, of the Industrial
arts. our girls need to be taught along
with their books, domestic science,
how to make home life easier and
more attractive.
"This building will stand for the ed
ucation of the masses in these sub
jects. In helping the rural school
teachers prepare themselves for their
work. among the children, we are help
ing those who need help
Il have made my gift to a state
college because of the permanent ma
ture of these institutions AS long as
the state exists these Institutions will
be cared for and this building con
tinue it's services to all the people, re
CARELESS Of distinction.
Il believe in the education of all the
people. If education does not help a
child, then what does?
HE who is a good father and true
patriot will resolve to give his chill
dren the best of all starts in life, bet
ter than high birth or much gold-a
good education"
These are golden words and deserve
place in the current literature Of our
time. s. STEWART, of State Uni
versity.
