The letter to the Governor is as fol-
lows:
Hinsdale, ILL.,, Sept. 81, 1909.-Gov.
Wilson: Thank you for your good

show to the world that poor boys and
girls can be educated. At this time.
Berea is ahead OF all the colleges in
this country. Park College, Mo-, comes
next. The lesson that Berea is teach
ing will have a great influence.

farmers cannot spend 5000 or $500 a
