Eduoatlon and Philanthropy


 two-millIon-dollar endowment fund for the University of Virginia Is worthy the effort of the patriotic spirit which prompted it and of a favorable re- sponse on the part of the philanthropie purse-strings of the American people.
 It is not too late even now to carry out the plan proposed Dy Thomas lief ferson, who founded that great educa- tional institution. The work proposed means not only tribute to Jefferson, but, best of all, the strengthening and raising to increased power for useful ness one of t.e greatest of all Ameri- can institutions of learning; an insti- tuition which has ever inculcated ideas of genuine American patriotism and of right living, and from its halls of in struction contributed to this country men foremost in every channel of pub lie service and of useful citizenship.
 While the University of Virginia is accounted a southern institution on ac- count of its geographical location and, too, because its patronage and gen eral environments nave made 1t thor oughly southern, its rank and the ob- ject of it's founder have won the ad- miration of all true men of this nation, and 1t is well that in this time of pros- perity, of good feeling between the once-called sections and of broad phi lanthropic spirit the movement to raise this fund has been taken hold of by strong and patriotic men of the north and west, as well as of the south.
 The southern white people are carry ing upon them a burden quite heavy and they are carrying 1t in a manly and willing way. They are educating their own children and paying about 90 per cent of the sum required every year to educate the children of the blacks.
 In the face of these conditions the south cannot do all this people would like to see done for the University of Virginia, but the south will respond to the extent of it's ability.
 In this connection it may be said that the south is not receiving fair share of the generous donations which the millionaire philanthropists are now presenting. Contributions for schools, churches and charitable institutions are increasing every year. The bene- factions received by institutions of learning in the United States during the year 1903 amounted to $17,037, ,967. The following table shows the amounts received by thirty-one institutions which received more than $100,O00 each;

Thus it will be seen that only two donations in thirty-one, and these the smallest in the lot, came to the south, and yet the world knows that here the gifts are most needed, because here the burden of responsibility rests heavier upon the people.
 Of course, there is no way to force the direction of these gifts, because they are voluntary; but it can do DO harm to call attention to the truth that the southern institutions do not seem to be receiving deserved notice by the eyes of the philanthropic world.
