donor of large sums for educational and other purposes, had less, rather than more, than an average amount of schooling.
 August Ricksher, noted New York philanthropist, did attend high school but not college.
 James A. Patten, who recently gave the Chicago Community Trust $1,5OO,- 900 worth of land, had nothing better than a country school education.
 The late J. P. Morgan, who gave away far more than ever became known to the public, had a good education, but was no college graduate.
 Incidentally, Henry Ford, the most rapid money-maker in the world today, had only country schooling.
 These are the facts. I leave you to do your own reasoning and draw what ever deductions you choose.

FINE BUILDINGS
GOING UP At
BEACH
Chesapeake Dancers Next
Season to Have Larger
Floor Space.

The dancing pavilion, Japanese
garden, and concessionaire build
ing at Chesapeake Beach which
were destroyed by fire last sum-
mer are now being rebuilt on
an enlarged scale, according to an
nouncement by officials Of the
Chesapeake Beach Railway Com
pany.
A large modern over-the.water
pavilion that will accommodate
more than 800 couples at time
without crowding is being con-
structed. Its dimensions will be
practically twice those Of the old
floor. Many attractive features
are being incorporated. Check
rooms VIII be provided for the
convenience of dancers.
The orchestra will occupy a spe-
cially built shell off the center
Of the floor, enabling its strains
to be heard equally well through
out the pavilion.
The management has contracted
with the Carolinians, the popular
Washington dance orchestra, to
furnish music again during the
coming summer.
This orchestra, which has ac-
quired national reputation through
Its weekly radio programs at sta.
ton WRC here, is under the direc.
ton of Ralph Garren, who has
been in charge of the music at
the beach for several years.
