Fund for Graduate

BY international News Service


DENVER, Sept. 4.-Establish
ment of a substantial foundation
the amount of which was not made
public, that is expected to bring
about better understanding between
Latin America and the United
States was made here by Simon
Guggenheim, New York philan'
thropist, mining. magnate and for

Colorado.
Guggenheim several months ago
established a $3,O00,000 endowment
fund by which American students
are enabled to pursue, research and
graduate work in Europe, Africa
and the Orient. Fifteen American
students, it was announced here,
are now studying abroad through
aid received from this foundation.
Next year this number wills be In
creased to forty. Art, music, en-
gineering. race problems. mining
and every field of endeavor are i'm
cluded in the list of studies made
available to American students
through this fund.
OF the new foundation, Guggen-
Ecimer declined to go into details
at present, saying that he expected
to have it operative early in 1926.
It will be conducted along lines
similar to the Guggenheim Memoir.

upon the assumption that because

competent to toss off successful

product scores heavily; he escapes
from the howell of poverty; pub
licity is acquired: his movements
are followed by the press; his pic
lures are printed; he buys a
tweed suit and annexes a walk

to a couple Of ladies' societies;
dimes out occasionally: is inter
viewed; gets married, maybe; and
every producer on Broadway is

Priest Raps Teaching
of Gaelic In Irish
Schools
BY international News Service

by HnleTHAttOHhA news GCsNhOC
DUBLIN, Sept. 4.-Efforts of
the Irish Free State to revive
the ancient Gaelic language are
causing widespread criticism.
Right Reverend Monsignor Dali
ton, backed by the Mayo Techni-
cal Education Committee, has
bitterly attacked the Free State
expenditures for the teaching
of Gaelic in the public schools
"The teaching of Gaelic is
intellectual abstraction and a
barrier to progress" said Doctor
Dalton. "The native language
is dying out and the money
should be spent on other things.
Mothers are threatening to
withdraw their children from
school if the teaching of Gaelic
is not dropped"
