Hopes TO Raise 100000.
A number of patriotic citizens in New
York have formed a centennial endowment
committee, with auxiliary committees in
Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and other
cities, for the purpose OF celebrating the
centenary OF Abraham Lincoln by raising
an endowment fund of $4,000 for the
Lincoln Memorial university at Cumberland
Gap.
General o. o. Howard, who is at the head
Of the movement. said the other day:
"Our group OF schools, which we call
Lincoln Memorial university. Is a veritable
monument to Abraham Lincoln, for ii min
listers to the wants of the people OF whom
he talked so long to me in my last inter-
view with him. 1t places the plane Of help
under meir necessities. 1t furnishes teach
ers for the needy districts, which are now
having more and more aid from the state
educational authorities. Its industrial de-
partpent has thus far given work to all
the youth who have sought its means as
a supplement to their education. Its med
icsl division trains young men OF the
mountains, and the young women who are
so we'll fitted, both by nature and by con-
stitution. for trained nurses.
1T may be a new idea to our American
people, but certainly the upbuilding of
these dwellings in the mountain regions in
a practical educational way is something
that belongs to the name and fame of
Abraham Lincoln. This centennial year of
his birth cannot better be celebrated than
by endowing a work like that Ion by the
teachers at Lincoln Memorial unive. sity.
Mr.. Lincoln, through me, practically asked
this boon OF the American people. for his
own people-that is. for those TO whom
he was specially attached, on account OF
