GIFT TO SCHOOLS

Chicago, Dec. 30.-Chicago pub
lie school children have received
s250,O00 from N. w. Harris, presi-
dent of the Harris Trust and Saw
ings bank. The money will be used
to carry to the class rooms collec-
tions from the Field Museum of

companying lectures that the pupils
may receive a fundamental knowl-
edge and acquire an interest in sub
jects that will have lasting benefit.
The understanding is to be known
as "The Harris Public School EX-
tension of Fields Museum" The
trustees of the museum. have been
made guardians Of the fund, which
has been turned over to them in Sc
curities bearing per cent year.

sufficient to carry on the work and
the principa, of the fund large
enough to make it permanent. Mr..
Harris has attached no conditions to
his endowment. His active part in
the matter ceases when the final
transfer of the securities is made.
A committee of the trustees of the
museum and the board of education
will direct the expenditure of the
money.
