country has, beside these institutions
of learning; q number of men who
have giysn almost countless thousands

charitable institutions. They have
established hospitals, infirmaries, libr-
aries, hero funds and things Of the
kind which would make a grand and
great list. Old and enfeebled persons
are given homes and young men are
equipped with the finest of Quotations
with which to 60 out and win fame and

higher planes Of life; for becoming
business men to handle or help handle

big enterprises in a comprehensive

Young men the desire to do these
