eightieth birthday anniversary, DR..
Henry D. Pritchett, president of the
Carnegie Foundation for the Advance
ment of Teaching, said:
The most noteworthy thing about
Mr.. Carnegie's preaching of the doc
tr1ne of conservation of wealth is the
fact that his practice has squared with
his preaching. The great bulk of his
accumulations, nearly $400,000,000, has
been turned back by him to the public
to be used in the cause of human bet
terment He is today man of mod
crate fortune. This fact is the first
astounding accomplishment to which
the historian will point when he comes
to estimate Mr.. Carnegies services"
The celebration, which began Tues
day and terminated last evening, was
attended by hundred or more lead
ing educators from various points of
the country, who were the guests of
the institute.

Gov. Jones; that Washington found the
President at luncheon, and that the
