THE SENSIBLE USE OF WEALTH.

Modern industrial conditions have afford
ed inc opportunities to men OF brains and
pluck for the accumulation of large for
tunes. Society still extends to men the
privilege of possessing and using as they
will what they thus gain. 1t is becoming
more and more clear, however, that society
in thus permitting men to accumulate and
use great wealth is granting them a privi-
lege rather than protecting them in right.
There is also growing sense of obligation
on the part of those who enjoy the privi-
legs-a feeling that it must not be abused,
but that the same wisdom and consideration
must be manifested in the use of wealth as
is shown in it's accumulation. Indeed, it is
dawning upon men that farlarger measure
of intelligence and character is demanded
for the discriminate and proper use of large
fortunes than is necessary for the accumu-
lation of them. To make money is COM
paratively easy for great many men; to
use it wisely is an art which but few have
leaned. The number of those who have
felt the responsibility and have learned the
art happily is increasing. Announcement
was recently made of the distribution of a
fortune of ST, 100000 accumulated by W. H.
Dunwoody, flour manufacturer of Min
amount to philanthropy. The largest sim
gle bequest was to found an industrial
school. He had the conviction that "iu
the multiplied facilities for obtaining liberal
education by the youth ofthe State, enough
attention has not been given instruction in
the industrial and mechanical arts" Sc
he gave 81, 100000 for industrial education
On the other hand, he showed his regard
for the beautiful and ideal by giving 81,
100000 to the Minneapolis Society of Fine
Arts. To the Boards of Foreign and Home
Missions of the Presbyterian Church HI
gave equal amounts, and the same amount
100000, for the benefit of retired minister!
of that church. There were numerous
other beneficiaries of his benevolent sens'
of obligation, including the local church o
which he was member, and which he re
membered in gift of S175,OO
