Among Our Great Mea.
After having fingered between life
and death with complication OF dis
eases for more than week, Carl
Schurz, the famous publicist, editor and
statesman, passed away at his home In
New York City.
From a poor immigrant, landing In
this country when he was % years old
Carl Schurz worked his way upward to
position In the foremost ranks Of pub
lie life The story Of this Immigrant
boy reads more like volume Of juven'
lie fiction, with the hero always good
and true and struggling for high ideals
than a recital of incidents which make
up the career Of the great publicist. As
statesman, soldier. editor and thinker
Mr.. Schurz held the respect Of the best

The life Of Schurz was full of ad.
venture and interesting details. He
was born at Liblar, near. Cologne, Prus
sla, on March 2, 1929. He was edu-
Gated at the Gymnasium Of Cologne and
subsequently at the University of Bonn
which he entered in 1846.
Gottfried Kinkel, poet, philosopher
and patriot, who had married Car
Schurz's cousin, was professor Oh
rhetorics in the university. After the
revolution of 1S4S had broken out Kin
KEEL headed an insurrection, was cap
tured and condemned to Imprisonment
for twenty years. Schurz was engaged
in the defense of Rastadt, town and
fortress in Baden, when 1t was cap
tured He hid in shed for three days
and finally escaped through sewer
and made his way to Switzerland and
thence to Paris. There, disguised as
an organ grinder, he effected the rescue
Of Kinkel, who accompanied him to
England. Schurz supported himself In
London for while, teaching German
and writing letters to German news
papers, before he came to the United
States in 1852.
When Schurz landed in New York he
could neither speak nor write the En-
glish language, and the political ban
ners Of Pierce and Scott which spanned
Broadway were a sore puzzle to him

that when holes in the heels or toes Of

worn parts entirely, then with q

CARL SCHURZ.

nois, and 1t was during this that he
formed friendship with Lincoln which
was ended only by the death of the
President. In 1859 Schurz went to Bos-
ton, where he made an address on True
Americanism, which was commented on
all over the country. One reading the
speech would find it hard to believe
that 1t was written by a man who sew
en- years before could not speak En-
glish.
A year after making this address Mr..
Schurz was elected chairman Of the Re-
publican national convention In Chi
cago, and supported the nomination OF
Mr.. Seward to the last. After the con-
vention he spoke in various States of
the Union, and on the accession of
Abraham Lincoln to the presidency Mr..
Schurz was appointed minister to
Spain. He reached Madrid in July.
but after he realized how great a strug-
gle the Civil War was to be he was
recalled at his own request. In Decem-
Der he was appointed brigadier gen
eral Of volunteers. Mr.. Schurz com
manded division of the Eleventh
Corps under Howard, fought with Ere
mont and Sigel, and ended his service
under Sherman in North Carolina,

editor of the Detroit Post and a year
later he moved to st. Louis, where he
purchased an interest in the Westliche
Post, Of which he took charge. In 1869

Senator from Missouri.

A MTNIFICENT DONATAION.

The Outlook characteriZes the re- cent gift of thirty-two million dollars to the cause of education in the United States by John D. Rockefeller, as the Largest sum ever given by any one man in the hitsory of the race for any social or philanthropic purpose. That municfient amount will be placed by him, before the first o next month, in the care of the General Education Board, which is a creation of congress, and authorized D it's charter to do any valuable educational work within the country
 and is self perpetuating,. Its object is really the directing of educational development in the United States, and the board is composed of men who have long had this object in view as an ideal. It's Chairman, Mir. Fredrick T. Gates, has had the imagination and executive ability to work for the formulation of an edu
 cational policy that would include not one institution or one State, but the whole Nation. Dr. Wallace Buttrick, the Secretary of the Board, by travel ing and observation has become an expert on the condition of American educational institutions, and his imaginative foresight enables him to use his knowledge in directing large policy.

the Board, every one of them well known as a leader either in business or in education, have regarded the problem before them as one calling for educational statesmanship. In 1902 Mr. Rockefeller intrusted to the Board one million dollars for the pro- motion of education in the South :: later he gave into the keeping of the Board ten million dollars for the promotion of collegiate (as distinct from academic) education throughout the United States. With these funds. and others that have been intrusted to it. the Board has been able to act as a gardener, pruning here, fertil- izing there; planting in barren places, and, if not actually destroying. yet at least neglecting, growths that were unhealthy or unneeded.
 It's power, however has heretofore been limited because the money at its disposal has been designated for special ends. In this latest gift Mr Rockefeller practically says that he
 ntrusts the Boards wisdom and the wisdom of future generations more confidently than his own. One-third of the new gift he gives uncondition- ally to the general endowment fund If the Board. The income from that may be used as the Board directs. As to the rest. he reserves to himself and his son the right to decide later if it is to be devoted to special ob-
 ects. With this financial power in its control, the General Education Board is in position to do what no other body in this country can, at present, yer attempt. It can determine largely what institutions shall grow, and. in some measures. what shall stand still or decay. It can look over he territory of the Nation, note the places where there is famine oi learning. and start new educational plants of any species it chooses or re-
 tive old ones. It can do in many ways what the Government does fol ,ucation in France or Germany. It, power will he enormous: it seems as If it might be able really to deter nine the character of American 'ducation. The funds it holds rep resent only a fraction of the amount which it will really control: by giv- .ng sum to an institution on con lition that the institution raise an 'qual or greater amount. it will be lble to direct much larger amounts han it possesses. More than that, it will become increasingly an adviser )f philanthropists. Even now its counsel is sought and it's juddgement

 nay put that sum into it's hands with .he knowledge that the money will be used exclusively for an educational purpose. In these ways it is estimat- d that the Board will be the means, within the next decade, of controlling rom one to two hundred millions oi | ollars.
