HOW STEEL king
CAVE MILLIONS
FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF
EDUCATION

Andrew Carnegie began a race
against time when, in 1901, at the age
of sity five, he resolved to give away
This enormous fortune. He held it dis
graceful" for a man to keep on gath
ering idle millions. In the compare
lively few years which the actuary
could allow him, he would disembarr-
ass himself of practically all he had.
No man had ever launched a philan-
thropic campaign of such dimensions.
His was then fortune of just
about quarter billion dollars, the
largest ever acquired by a foreign
born American, second only to the
John D. Rockefeller wealth as the
largest individual accumulation in the
United States, and, built, as it was, of
five percent steel bonds, it would, with
ou5 so much as turning over ones
hand, have approached half a billion
by the time >Carnige could call hinl
self an octogenarian on November
Is. 1915.
To give this stupendous sum away,
in about half the time he had talen
to gather it,, was a purpose Carnegie
had fairly we'll fulfilled when death
overt, IL him today. He had distril ut
cd about $500 0GU,000 1t was giving
money away a. the rate of over $40
0GA.t"O /. year. or more than $50 600
day.
He declared, when he gave up
gathering wealth and announced ar
era of distribution, that he expected
TO find it more difficult to give his
millions away than it had been to ac-
quire them. How would you give
$500 100000 away" became such d
popular query that an English adver-
tiser who employed it, received no
less than $4,000 suggestion as to how
Carnegie could rid himself of his
wealth. Twelve thousand persons
solved the problem in part by asking
for some of the money for themselves.
The answers which Carnegie him
self gave and backed up with his NIL,
lions have made the most original if
not the greatest of philanthopists.
Before he sailed for Scotland in 1901
he left letters announcing gifts of 49,,
100000. His first big gift was the
setting aside of $4,0O0O00 to supply
pensions and relief for the injured and
aged employees of his steel plants
IAN acknowledgement OF the deer
debt which | owe to the workmen who
have contributed so greatly to my sue
cess" He added an extra million
for the support of Libraries for his
workmen, and looked up his library
hobby in a wholesale way by giving
$5,2OO,O0O to New York City for the
erection of sixty-five branch libraries
in the metropolis. Another million
he gave for a library in st. Louis.
Il have just begun to give my
money away" he said in announce
ment of these gifts. He kept it up as
fast as he could with discrimination.
