suits Of the weekend canvass for
contributions.
In addressing .the workers Mr..
Scott said:
I'VE are meeting in this campaign
two general objections.
First, as TO the amount, 100000,
we are asking fos this memorial IL
brary.
You will have to emphasize that
at least $4,000 OF this amount will
be invested TO maintain the library
and that at least $4,000 will be ex-
pended for books.
while this is stated in all our cir
culars and pamphlets. it Is not,
believe, generally understood The
remaining amount s23O,0O0. Is not
large with which to build such a
memorial and such a library.
Second. there is general COM
plant because OF the number OF APP
peals and campaigns for funds.
Now, hospitals. libraries. Red Cross,
general welfare organizations and
such are a necessary part OF our so
cial life and until they can be con- |
stru cted and supported by a special
levy placed upon each person there |
must be these appeals 10 the public.
1T Is only fair there should be
such levy, since they are a neces-
sary part OF our social life. Each
should bear his relative part but I'M
Ill such a plan can be brought about
we should not complain.
And to be happy we should not
try TO dodge our proper participation
in the raising OF such funds Money
thus spent Is well spent--by such
giving we get. Life is a curious
paradox We have been taught
that what is ours is ours TO do with
as we please. but this is only par
TALLY true.
hospitals. libraries, Red Cross and
such. then each ls In honor bound
to subscribe TO their support his or
her relative share. no matter how
small; or, some one else is forced
to pay what in all fairness IL an
others proper obligation.
There is no way OF avoiding ones
personal obligation II one benefits
by the social organization and 1 ,
wish to emphasize in all kindnescsi
because this point OF view Is not
generally realized. that the person /
Who does not bear his portion of
'uch expense is requiring some one I
Use to carry him-sOme one else TO I
pull his share OF the human load, !
You should not hesitate, 1 feel to
appeal with confidence for sub
