Negro miners. Their school
was the school of experience,

very little. Sometimes one

mong his m any other philan'
throphies, in 1866 Mr.. Peabody
established the f IN of three
million five hundred thousand
dollars for education in the
South, applicable to both races.
Though George Peabody and
George Foster Peabody, whe
recently passed away, bore the
same name, they were not re
lated to each other. These two
homonYmic Americans. though
irrelatS by blood, -evinced a
close spiritual kinship and were
both philanthropists after t. h e
same pattern. ''
George Foster Peabody was
born in Columbus, Georgia, in
1852 and went North after the
Civil War, where his career be

trial, business, religious, educa-
tional and civic fabric during the
past fifty years. While achiet.

Indeed philanthropy, or love Of

into the bone. Perhaps no man
of his day and generation show
ed livelier interest or a wider
range of sympathy and alturis-
tic devotion. His broad-guaged
philanthrophy envisioned the
varied and many sided interests
and activities of American life,
without regard to race, class,
creed, or sectional divisions of
the states. AS son of the
South, he remained loyal to the
best traditions of his native
Southland. He was member
of the Southern Society of New
York City and was lifelong
member of the Democratic
party serving as treasurer of the
National Democratic Committee
he insisted that the Negro be
permitted to enjoy the full
measure of his rights guaran-
teed by the Constitution, not
for the mere sake of abstract
enjoyment. but because he needs
these rights for self-protection.
If his broad human sympathies
and humanitarian impulse had
any special field Of application,
it was ekertcd in behalf Of the
Negro race. He was not actuated
by any maudlin sentimentality
but he was convinced that the
Negro, as the man fartherest

of his sympathy and benefac-
ton.
