Timothy Nicholson, of This
City, lust Resigned, Makes
Public Several Very inter-
esting Observations.
ALL OTHER STATES LOOK
TO INDIANA FOR GUIDANCE
Secretaries of State Boards of
Charities Are to Be Given
Credit for Placing Work on
Such a High Level.

The work accomplished by the state
board of charities since it's organiza,
ton in 1889 has, can positively state
placed Indiana in the highest place IN
this class of work." stated Timothy
Nicholson, who has just rendered his
resignation to the state board. Con
tinuing. he said: ''Formerly. the chari
table workers of this state had to look
to New York and Massachusetts for
ideas in governing the various public
institutions. Now these two states
and all the others in the union look tC
Indiana for ideas in governing and
providing for public institutions. IL
bringing Indiana up to its present high
position in this class of work, the state
board of charities must give most OF
the three secretaries who have at diff
ferent times served the board. These
men are Messrs. Bicknel, johnson ana
Putler. At the present time Mr. But
Ter is the secretary. These three
men have rendered invaluable work"
1t was through the untiring effors OF
Mr.. Nicholson and Oscar MCCullock oi
indianapolis, that the legislature in
1889, created the board. After it had
been established. Governor Hoyey ap
pointed Mr.. Nicholson and Mr.. McCul
lock. Since that time the LCar rfsan
has been reappoiuted in turn by Gov
ernors Chase, Mathews. Mount. Durbir
aud Hanly.
When appointed to the board by Gov
ernor Hanly, Mr.. Nicholson intimated
that he was about ready to retire. He
feels that he has performed all the ser.
vices his state can expect of him, sc
this week when Governor Hanly re
ceived his resignation. it did not come
in the nature of surprise.
