Wollank of the chair of languages at the Pittsburgh Normal, who may be the richest schoolmaster in the United States, will stay in the schoolroom and work, despite his wealth. * Professor Wollank and his son will soon get a $25,000,000 estate in Berlin. The estate is that of a great-uncle whose will provided that it go to the male descendants of the Wollank line after a certain time.
