acting for the American people
thinks 50 well Of these institutions
that II has enacted Il law under
which College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts, once established and
once provided for by the State OF
Territory, receives a yearly Federal
endowment Of $4,000. The main
land institutions also received n pub
lie land grant. And although tn,
conditions are such that Congress
may have TO legislate specially fol
Hawaii, there Is no question that the
Federal Government will give Ha'
wallis College Of Agriculture ana
Mechanic Arts as liberal an endow'
nent as has been given any state OF
Territory in the Union.
Hawaii, however, must act first.
