Henry Ford's Philanthropy.

It has been often noted of Henry
Ford, reputed to be the richest man
in the world, that he has not devoted
any part of his great wealth to any
form of philanthropy. He was until a
few years ago too much occupied to
pay any attention to public welfare de-
mands. Latterly he has been amusing
himself with the collection of Ameri-
cana, relics of early pioneer days and
colonial times, literary souvenirs, his
torical structures and the like. Many
have thought that perhaps this would
represent the concluding activity of his
life.
But now Mr.. Ford confounds his
critics by announcing that he proposes
to devote the rest of his days to the
founding of schools, for which pur-
pose he is to set aside $100, 100000 Of
his fortune. A statement TO this effect
sent on Friday from Fort Myers, Fla.
marks the beginning of what may be
the most important public benefaction
ever known in America.
Henry Ford appears to have some
clearly defined ideas on the subject Of
education, the kind that the country
needs, as he conceives it. The key
note of his project of education Is to
be vocational training, the preparation
Of young people for active work in
adult life. He indicates that in the
schools which he plans to endow-
which are to be self-supporting---
academic subjects will be taught in the
lower grades and vocational subjects
will be made available Is students are
prepared for them. Courses In the
arts and commercial subjects will be
offered as well - mechanical training.
This is picture that is quite differ
ent from any that has heretofore been
painted by educational philanthropists
whose bounties have gone chiefly for
the promotion of academic and pro-
fesSional schools. with q few excep-
tons. Of small institutions, the endowed
schools, colleges and universities of the
country have been Of the convention.
ally educative type. Mr.. Ford pro-
poses to spend q hundred million dol
lars for the establishment Of q series
Of vocational universities.
Henry Ford's success as a mAnufAc.
turer is not due altogether or in large
part to the fact that he was q pioneer
in low-priced individual transporta-
ton. He has Imagination and vision.
courage and persistence, patience and
skill. He was not content with q be-
ginning that would grow Of its own mo-
nentum. He carried through with his
own energies and personal application
until he had built the biggest single
business enterprise in the world. Those
qualities that have made him almost
intellectually wealthy he now proposes
to turn to the development Of his
project of Nationwide vocational edu-
cation.
Book learning" was not one Of Henry
Fords adolescent accomplishments. He
made his big success without INTEL
lectual cultivation. But he does not
wish to confne the youth Of the coun-
try who are to profit from his now an
nounced benefAction to technical and
vocational training alone. He wants
them to have what he was denied, the
lack Of which he has no doubt often
bewailed in the privacy of his own COM
munion.
