mil the friends OF Bill Nye out
side the state an opportunity to
contribute to this movement, that
contributions from outside the
state should be gratefully re-
ceived and acknowledged, while
not solicited.
The committee believes further
that it made a wise and happy
selection in the form of this
memorial; that nothing it might
have conceived would have
brought greater JOY to the heart
Of the gifted, kindly man whose
memory it is designed to perpe-
tuate, than the great work Of
making useful citizens Of way
ward boys, and that we're he
present with us in the flesh today
it would have the stamp of his
approval. Furthermore the com.
mittee bespeaks the hearty CO.
operation of the brethren Of the

citizens generally in this under.
taking. 1t is a labor Of love
one that has already been too long
neglected, to the shame Of North

do for the man it delights tt
