To the Good People OF Warren and
Other Friends of North Star Col
lege.

Greetings:
You have college located in your
beautiful and prosperous city-and
these are not merely complimentary
words, but a fact-of which, consider
ing it small beginning, the time it
has existed, and the difficulties it has
had to contend with, you may well
be proud.
You have college building too,
which is an ornament to the city and
in harmony with the rest of your en-
terprising institutions. The build
ing is good and will amply serve the
purpose for which it has been erected
for many years to come; and if it
should prove to be too small in the
near future-which we may well both
hope and wish-it would be the best
thing that could happen; for it would
be easy then to get another building.
Now, such a thing both can and may
happen, provided the College gets a
sufficient and proper support now
while it is struggling aaginst fnan-
cial odds to gain popular recognition
and a harmonious development-offi-
cial educational recognition has al
ready been secured both from the
State Department of Education and
the State University.
The college grounds too, generous
ly donated by the city, can, if suffici-
ent means were available for the
purpose, be made one of the beauty
spots of the city.
The support which the college just
at present is in special need of is of
financial nature. The building is
there. but is not paid for; and it is
practically impossible for the college
to exist for any length of time unless
it gets substantial financial assist
ance. Being called by the Board OF
Trustees to render what help | may
be able to in securing this assistance
! have temporarily accepted this call
and if there is any probability OF
success, which I hope and believe
there is. / shall see the thing through
to the finish and there shall certain
" be no lack of effort on my part to
bring the matter to satisfactory
conclusion.
Nv own efforts will be of little
avail, however. if do not have the
good will and assistance of the peo-
| ple Of this city back of me; but with
that. I have no doubt of the result.
would therefore ask the privilege Of
meeting especially with the busi
ness men in a body in the near future
in order to discuss the matter will
them. Not that I'll pretend to tel
them what they should do; but sim
ply ask them what they will do; TO,
on that answer my work in this linz
for the college will depend. If tina
answer is favorable, which sincerel!
hope that it will be, I shall then can
vass this and neighboring countie
to secure cash or subscriptions to
wards the payment of the colleg'
debt, and at the same time arous'
interest in the school and encourage
prospective students to come here t
study
It is not my personal cause that
am pleading. but the cause of liberia
education, which is a cause worthy Q
the pleading and support Of ever,
good Christian and every loyal Amer
lean citizen.
4 Hoping that my efforts in this lin
| here will meet with your hearty ap
proval and consequent success, | re
main,
4 Your humble servant,
!. J. S. Carlson,
Field Secretary and Solicitor for
