putting on paint, besides having
much of the work done by patients
who were able and willing to work,
and who were better for having
something to employ their time and
minds. This Is only one item. and
that does not include the cost of the
paint itself. We have done a great
amount OF repairing in many ways.
the most important of which is the
installation of the new heating and
cooking plants, which cost $1s.515.
We have put in $1,000 feet of new
hard-maple floor this summer. We
have built a three-story addition for
kitchen. which has been equipped
with steam cooking facilities. and
this has cost nearly $4,000. We have
made everything substantial as we
want, and we have sold or utilized
practically all of the old material In
some way. Little or nothing has
been thrown away or wasted. and
the cost OF all this new material
and installation, has been paid out
OF an appropriation OF $4,000, to-
gether with what we made out of
the farm secured in other ways !
shall speak later"
I'm conducting the farm we have
tried to put 1t on q paying basis and
keep 1t there. We hire what help we
need and pay for It, and when we
sell produce. we credit the farm for
such sales. We raise all the hay
and grain we need, and last year we
took grain to mill and had It made
into -four to supply all our bread
stuffs. We sold several hundred
boxes Of apples in addition TO sup
plying the institution, and this year
we expect TO sell from $500 to
1 $4,000 worth of apples and othes
fruit. after canning. drying and pre-.
serving al We need for patients and
employees. We are renting 14t

AMERICAN ART AT ROME
Million Dollar Fund for Academy
in Eternal City Nearly assured.

S. B. P. Trowbrdge ex-president of the Society
of Beaux Arts Architects. announced yesterday
that 10000 would be raised by the society to
place 1t in the ranks of the founders of the Amer
lean Academy of Fine Arts at Rome, for the main
tenance of which the raising Of 100000 fund
was started about two years ago the basis of
ten subscriptions of 100000 each. Charles f. Nc
Kim is president of the academy and Charles T
Barney is treasurer
When the movement begun J. Pierpont Nor
gan, jr., and Henry Walters, trustees each sub
scribed 100000. and 100000 subscriptions re-
ceived shortly afterward from William X. Van
derbilt, Harvard University, through Henry l.
Higginson, and James Stillman. Columbia Univer-
sity then pledged 100000 and quickly raised over
$4,000 Of the amount. and Yale University raised
over $4,000 toward the sum required to make that
institution founder. The University of California
and Chicago University each pledged 100000. and
Henry c. Frck subscribed tho last 100000 required
to make up the endowment fund Of s. 100000.
Mr Trowbrdge said that the University OF Cali
tornia had raised about $4,000 Of the 100000
pledged when the earthquake occurred. Charles
F. McKim. president of the academy. insisted upon
releasing the University OF California from it's
promise. The Society Of Beaux Arts Architects
then took the place of the University Of California
in the ranks of the ten founders.
A considerable part Of 100000. Mr.. TrowbriJge
said, had already been raised. and it was expected
that the remainder would be subscribed at an early
day.
1t learned yesterday that while Columbia
and Yale have not raised the full amount OF $780,
GO. as pledged special effort will be made this
summer 10 complete the subscriptions. 1t is ex-
pected that the entire endowment fund Of 81 OOO-
600 Will be paid in this year.
e Inc ne course of the American Academy at Rome
rs post graduate, and requires the clostraton of
the student for period of years. II is urged by
the trustees that the direct and intimate infiu-
ences of the worlds masterpieces which surround
student at Rome, will prove Of incalcuIable al
vantage In the creation of the future art OF Amer
lea; and the benefits to France, Germany, Spain
and other nations through the establishment OF
schools OF art at Rome Justify the conviction that
like greater benefits will be secured to the
United States through the foundation of q similar
national institution.
The chief end OF the academy is not to afford
exceptional advantages to a few chosen schol-
ars but Is rather to be the to that end.
which Is 10 help to raise the of art edu-
cation In the United States. As the great
uonal competition in France for the Grand Prix
qe Rome has made the Ecoe des Beaux Arts. in
FarlS tho first art school of the world, so, II is
believed. will the competitions instituted by the
American Academy increase the efficiency of the
universities and art schools of America.
through the aid Of Henry Walters, of the
trustees the academy has been enabled TO secure
permanent home in the Villa MirafOri,
the Porta Pia-
