Association Wants to Erect a
Building at the National
Capital.
GIVEN A HEARTY SUPPORT
PRESIDENT AND SENATORS
LODGE AND HEPBURN WILL DE-
LIVER ADDRESSES At A MEET
ING ON SATURDAY.
american News Service)


Washington, Feb. 1.-THE earnest
efforts On the part of the officers and
members of the George Washington
Memorial association, it is believed,
will soon result in the realization or
the purpose for which this society
was organized, namely, the erection
of a building in the Capital City, to
be known AS the George Washington
Memorial Association"
Besides receiving the hearty sup
port of a number of state govern
nlents, and numerous individuals
prominent In official circles, the work
is being encouraged by no less per-
sonage than President Taft. At a
meeting to be held in Washington
Saturday, the president and Senators
Lodge and Hepburn will deliver adj
dresses. Justice Harlon, of the SUI
preme court will preside.
Requires Large Sum.
The plans of the association require
that a fund Of $2,5OO,0OO be raised;
two million of which will be devoted
to the erection of the building and
the remaining five hundred thousand
to its maintenance. Certain sections
Of the building will be turned over.
free of charge. to societies of a pa
triotic, scientific or educational char
acter for their national or information
al conventions. The Washington AGA
denny of Science and it's affiliated so
cieties, and the National Academy of
Sciences are to have their perman-
ent headquarters in this building, and
probably a number of the larger pa
triOtic societies.
To Observe His Desire.
It is the purpose of the organiza-
ton to carry out in the highest sense
the desire Washington expressed in
his farewell address,: Promote, then,
as an object of primary Importance,
institutions for the general diffusion
of knowledge" He also urged "the
promotion of science and literature"
Aside from the large personal con-
tributiOns, which it is expected will
he received from certain sources, a
unique plan has been formulated for
the purpose of gathering small con-
tributions, in order that the building
may be more of a national tribute to
our first president. Circulars have
been sent to school teachers all over
the country asking that they request
pupils to contribute ten cents each for
this purpose or project. and it is ex-
pected that an enormous sum will be
raised in this way.
Those desiring to become members
of the association must pay an en-
trance fee of S., which will cover the
dues for the first year. The annual
dues are 50, and a life membership
costs 800.
