To Schools to Be the Nucleus
for An Endowment Fund
Of $i,000,000

E EAST NoRrHFIEID, Mass, May
1.+-President William R. Moody OF
the Northheld schools whoch was
founded by his father, Dwight 1.
Moody, made the following statement
today regarding the anonymous gift
Of. 800 600 which has Just come to the
schools: 81
Some anxiety has been expressed
by friends of the school to know il
this gift is conditional. am, glad to
say that 1t Is not. It will, at the sug-
gestion Of the donor. be used to start
campaign TO secure q million dollar
increase In the endowment Of the two
schools, Northheld Seminary, and
Mount Hermon Boys School, but its
receipt Is not contingent upon the
raising Of the remaining $780, 600.
The schools are running be-
bind in their finances, 100000
a year because in spite Of their
great growth, they remain loyal to
the purposes OF the founder in provid-
ing a schooling under Christian in
huences at much less than cost to
young people who are denied educa-
tional advantages elsewhere because
of expense or other handicaps. To
provide for a 100000 deficit year
and give adequate attention to the
management OF the schools has be-
come a greater burden than we can
bear without serious restriction of the
schools opportunities for usefulness
The real purpose of this anonymous
gift, therefore, is to assist in the per-
petuation of Dwight L Moody's work
and to serve as an Invitation to others
to do likewise by becoming permanent
partners in the maintenance Of his
schools.
From May 30 to June Q we cele-
.brate the thirty-fifth anniversary of
Northfield Seminary's founding. Mt.
Herman Is only two years younger. It
Is now nearly fifteen years since Mr..
Moody passing. The schools emerged
from the experimental stage long ago.
They have withstood the great loss
which came to them when they were
deprived Of the. inspiration OF their
founders personality and genius, and
have proved that their welfare was
not dependent upon the personality
and power Of one man alone. Their
trustees and principals have remained
scrupulously loyal to the plans and
theories Of the founder. For these
reasons, we have all faith that many
Of those who sympathize with the pur-
pose of the founder as expressed in
these schools will become permanent
participants in their progress by TAX
ing part in this campaign and assist
ing to complete the million dollar,
fund.-

HER REASON.

Miss Alice Lakey, chairman Of the
food committee Of the National Con
sumers' League, says that she is for
votes for women because it took
thirty-six years to pass the pure food
law and only three years to kill 1t
on the statute book. Women would
not have permitted such state of
affairs, she says.

to what material he considered the
most practical for paving in Belding,
''F'rom the point of first cost concrete

therefore the most seriously consider
