In the past twenty years over
three hundred millions Of dollars
have been given by philanthroplsea
to hospitals. schools, libraries. parks,

This money has not been LOST. ana
much benefit has been derived from
its use. The public is 0 enjoying
tho advantages It has afforded, but
the question is could not some OF
these millions have been spent 70
better adyantageg
Aside from what Is being spent py
the states and the Federal Depart.
ment of Agriculture little financial
attention has been given to agricui-

are now much alive to the fact that
the best way to erect a monument
