Margaret Haugherty.


Two blocks distant, in the center Of
one of the most attractive residence dis
tricts of New Orleans. stand marble
statue Of woman with little child at
her side. The figure is odd. 1t is dressed
in the plainest of garments, and the head
is almost entirely bald. so that one might
be excused for taking it for the statue of
a man.
An ornate pedestal OF white marble
bears the word: Margaret" That is ALL
But II is sufficient, for every man, wom-
an and child in the city knows that it
means Margaret Haugherty. an humble
illiterate Irish baker woman. who ac-
quired great wealth and had a great heart
beneath her plain and simple garb. She
never learned to read or write, and her
last will and testament, which bequeathed
a large fortune for the orphans of New
Orleans. was signed Margaret Haugher-
ty. her mark.
Several years ago. when the statue of
Frances E. Willard was unveiled in the Cap
itol at Washington. l stated in a letter
that 1t was the only honor of the kind
ever paid to woman in the United
States Whereupon a number of readers
pointed out the mistake and called my at
tention to this tribute from the people of
New Orleans to the baker woman whose
generosity provided several homes for the
orphans Of this city. This statue was the
first. and with that of Frances Willard
and three others are the only monuments
erected to women in the United Staes.
Margaret Haugherty was born in this
city, and began her life as scullery
maid in a baker shop. She learned the
trade. opened a little shop of her own.
and by her enterprise her business grew
until it was the largest in the south She
supplied all the hotels and the principal
restaurants and thousands Of private fam
lilies with bread and cake which were
famous. and invested her profits with
such sagacity that she became one of
the wealthiest women in the country
During the later years of her life she
gave up active labor and used to SIT all
day long at the door of her enormous
steam baking establishment. which was
on one Of the principal business streets
of the city. Everybody knew her and
called her Margaret. and she greeted her
acquaintance as they passed. No citizen
was more highly respected. and no ap-
peal to her for charity was ever denied.
For twenty years she furnished the sup
ply OF bread for a dozen charitable In
situations free of charge. She furnished
the funds and superintendent the erection
OF the New Orleans Female Orphan Asv-
lum. st. Nincent's Infant Asylum and ST.
Elizabeth.s Industrial Home for Girls, and
when she died she left a large fortune
for the support Of these institutions
The monument was erected by public
subscription. and the figure is said to
be an accurate likeness Of this remarkable
woman

The cause of higher education in the
south has received decided inspiration
and impetus from the visit of DIR. Charles
William Eliot, the retiring president of
Harvard University and dean of American
educators
DR. Eliot has visited the principal
cities and educational centers of the south
Atlantic and gulf states. has been en-
tertained with distinguished hospitality
and has delivered an address on educa-
tional topics at every place he has stop
ped. The teaching profession has had
an opportunity to meet and know him.
and have received him as a prophet, a
priest and a king.
He has gently chided them for their
Weaknesses, has pointed out some of their
errors. He has commended their zeal
and has excited a revival of interest in
educational matters among the public
generally and especially among the alum
nj of the different colleges and universe
ties of the south.
Seldom does southern man every give
anything for education. Southern women
have given more. Even the University of
Virginia. the oldest, the proudest and
most influential of southern institutions.
has been dependent upon northern gen.
erosity for it's actual existence.
The million dollar endowment which
