SCORES CARNEGIE FUND
ATTEMPT TO NIONOPOLIZE HIGH

feet, Also, on Legislation Aimed
at Steel Trust.
A scatbing attack on the aims and
alleged tendencies of the Carnegie
foundation was the somewhat sensa-
tional feature of the opening session
of the convention Of the National
Educational association at Chicago
Tuesday.
In an exhaustive address the Rev.
Timothy Bresnahan. S. j., president
Of Loyola university, Baltimore, ar
raigned the foundation, and his
views were supplemented by a gen.
eral discussion.
In the course of his address Father
2resnahan said:
"a fund OF 100000 in bonds
of the United States Steel corporation
providing retaining allowances for
certain institutions will enlist the in
terest of influential personages in
the stability of the Pittsburg million
aires industrial institution.
These, we may reasonably sup
pose, would scarcely look impartially
on legislative enactment that would
imperil the value of their securities.
The result of investing the Uniteo
States Steel corporation bonds in the
foundation could scarcely have es-
capped the accumen of so acute bus
mess man.
:'The Carnegie foundation affords a
motive to university and college pres
idents for discharging professors
when they have reached the dead
line.
If the evils of depotism are in store
foc US should we permit monopoly
of education by the governmen,
which after all can be called to be
account, what may we expect from
a private, permanent, self-perpetuat-
ing corporation backed by millions OF
dollars and irresponsible to the pub
lie, whose one aim is to bring into
disrepute schools under definite re-
ligious control; to bind together nom
sectarian schools selected mostly for
their actual or prospective strength;
through them to get control Of the
higher education of the country, and
finally to establish educational unity
and coherency by an educational sys-
tenn necessarily hostile and skeptical
in it's attitude toward religious
'truth?"

Where are your tools?" inquired
Cheske
The mechanic dived down in suit
case and produced some lacy shirt
waists some black gowns, tooth
brush, a yellow pin cushion and q
brass crematory urn.
"Here they are," he said with some
feeling, "The railroad company got
us mixed up and I drew this bag
gage in Pittsburg. I've got some
body's ashes here and I'd like mighty
we'll to return them.''
Cheske offered to take charge OF
the urn for him and notified the
Pennsylvania railroad Office OF his
acquisition.
The railroad compan7 telegraphed

following message:
