The very size of the new Rockefeller
takes ones breath away, although a
string is tied to two-thirds Of it,, but
that string does not materially change
the nature of the gift.
The moneyttis handed over to the
general education board that was or
gained in 100 under an act of Con-
gress. Robert c.. Ogden is chairman
of the board, George Foster Peabody,
treasurer, and Wallace Butterick and
Starr J. Murphy, secretaries and exec
utive officers. The other members of
the board are Frederick T. Gates, Dan
iel G. Gilman, Morris K. Jesup, Walter
H. Page, I. D. Rockefeller, Jr., Albert
Shaw, Hugh H. Hanna, E. Benjamin
Andrew, and n chosen to succeed
William r. Harper, deceased.
The board was organized to assist
MI. Rockefeller in the distribution of
money for educational purposes with
out distinction of race, sex or creed,
and it was believed at that time hat
much of the money would be spent in
the south. Each year shows, however,
a trend towards northern institutions
and northern plans. The only southern
members of the board are Walter II.
Page, who lives in Washington, and
Starr J. Murphy. Its force of experts
is in some n directed to study
northern institutions, and to such in

tributed by the board.

COMPULSORY EDUCATION.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found
the full text of the bill on compulsory
education for Goldsboro township
| which the present General Assembly
will be asked to enact.
If the bill become a law every child
required to attend either the public
schools Of the township, or some pri-
vate school, for as many days as the
public school of the township are in
session, every year between the above
ages, unless such as come under the
exemptions in the bill.
The public school system is like
every other similar institution in a
process Of growth and Developments
means growth and development, for it
tive years that prepare it for life's
duties and develop capacity for sus-
tanning the responsibilities of life. The
forces by which this growth is sus-
aimed are from two sources:one source
within the public school system itself;
VIC OILoT, W1tnOuG. 1t Is d IldIloI VI
common observations fact in the
history of educational progress, that the
forces within the system are usually
not adequate within themselves, or are
not so employed as, to maintain a rea-
sonable and necessary advance in the
development of the public school sys-
tenn to its highest capacity, or degree,
rather, of usefulness. Q In short, there
is not the progress of which the system
is capable, due to the lack of attend
anee
Under these conditions, intelligent,
observant, philanthropic citizens long
g began to aggitate the question of
compulsory attendance, and now of the
forty-six states of this union all but
eleven have compulsory attendance a
part of their educational systems.
Goldsboro township; therefore, in
adopting this bill proposed is simply
falling in line with a system thatprom-
promises-nay, assures greater bene-
fits from our splendid Public schools,
and more capable men and women of
the future, bringing out and develop
ing "the best that in them lies" and to
give, in their day and turn, the best to
the generation coming after them: and
the best is none too good for the Best
Town in the State.

AMERICAN GIFTS.

The record yea of gifts in this coun-
try was 1901, when they ltotaled up TIC
$I22, 200. The sum includes only
considerable donations to public insti-
tutions. Last year the total fell to $780,
900, 900. Our charities easily ontrun
once regarded as the leader in large
gifts, but her total last yea rwas but $46,-
100000. While the gifts of her people
exceed those of anysother Europ al
country, yet they are below those OF
America, now the richest and he most
charitable country in the world
The present calendar year has start
ed out brilliantly in the matter of gifts.
Mrs. Sage has already given away ST.
250, 600, and Mr.. Rockefeller's gift OF
$50, 000, 900 to educational purposes
points to an unexampled aggregate al
the end of the year.
It is not strange that gifts are in
creasing in this country when b TACT
is recalled that the daily addition to
the national wealth eis ten millions OF
dollars. On the tithing basis this calls
for gifts of one million dollars a day,
out the nation refuses to give one
tenth of its increase. 1t gives about
one-thirtieth instead. This is, how
ever, a very c~reditable sum-, and it is
fast filling the land with noble insti-
tutions, literally endowed. The Chi
cago university and the Carnegie
Technical school at Pittsburg are fine
examples of these beneficiaries of pri-
vate benevolence.

F. E. B..

We heard a man say the other morn
ing that the abbreviation for February
-Feb.-means Freeze every body, and
that man looked frozen in his ulster.
It was apparent that he needed the
kind of warmth that stays, the warmth
that reaches from head to foot, all over
the body. We could have told him
from personal knowledge that Hoods
Sarsaparilla gives permanent warmth,
it invigorates the blood and speeds
it along through artery and
vein, and really fits men and women
boys and girls, to enjoy cold weather
and resist the attacks Of disease. It
gives the right kind of warmth, stimu-
lates and strengthens at the same time,
and all its benefits are lasting. There
may be a suggestion in this for you.
