I'd rather pay them than have those nchooU suffer. In this day it redulrea scientific knowledge to attack any new problem. That is the reason we must have these schools and why our colleges are overcrowded. We also must have high ideals coupled with our ma-

BUZZARD'S BAY. Mass. November —Charles Garland, who has re-

nounced bis rights to a fl.SSS.SSS legacy left him by bis father. James A Garland, who was a wealthy clubman and yachtsman of Boston, has made a formal statement of his reasons for rejecting the money. His statement, be said, was due to the fact that the many reports of his

r presented his Position,

refuse to accept the money because it is not mine,” was young Garland’s summary of his action, “a system which starves thousands while hundreds are stuffed condemns itself. A system which leaves a sick t woman helpless and offers its services ' to a healthy man condemns itself. It is such a system that offers me a million dollars.'* he continued. "It Is blind to the simplest truth known to every child, the truth that tbe hungry should be ted and the naked clothed. I have Md to choose between the loss of prlvats property and tbs law which Is written In every human heart. I chose the one which

I believe to be true”

Points to Christ's Example. Garland, who has said he renounced his claim to the million dollars because he though Christ would have done the same, continued: **l believe I could do no gcod with the money. It is the man who gives food to tbs hungry who does good, not the

stats treasury. Purdue University is

dollars given in exchange for the food. I would be happy to he the man If I had the food to give, but I ^. can not lend myself to handling the Became money that is not miner even though the good that might be done is possi-

bly great.”

Many people have written to tell him what could be done with the money, he said. "They seem almost proud to point out the power that I have in my hands, but it is tbe most pitiful thing they could point to. You ‘can not serve God and mammon/ So many people ready to serve the dollar means so many less to serve God. There are great opportunities to do good, but they are in men’s hearts, not in my check book. A preacher m the name of Christ said this million ‘ should have been turned to good. He thinks that God's work is paid for in dollars. God’s work will never be done until men see that this theory is un-

true.**

The Gweat of Hte Mother. Mr. Garland’s statement was made from his home here, a former inn of stage coach days. The young man. who is twenty-two years old. Is living at the house with his wife and infant daughter as the guest of his mother. Mrs. Marie Tudor Green, who supplies them with a maid and keeps their larder full. He plans to go to work eventually, he said, but a year at Harvard College, which he left to get married, and preparatory schooling in this country and In England rttted him for no work ready at hand and he said he thought it would be spring before he found anything. His wife joined with him in his renunciation of the miiiions. Garland said. His mother. although not holding the same views, has told him to do what he thought right. In another house on the estate lives James A. Garland, III, a brother of Charles Garland, who has accepted { his share of his mther’s estate, made* larger by the fact that the mother > of the boys abandoned her rights *n order to marry Francis C. Green, after the death of her first husband. Another Brother at Harvard. At Harvard College is Hamilton Garland, a third son, who lacks several months of reaching his majority. The brother Charles said he under-

stood Hamilton also was considering refusing to take his share when he

of age. Their ideas on the

subject were somewhat similar, he said, although the Influences of education and environment were not

For State Library. Mr. Bryan spoke a good word for the State Library and was applauded when he said be hoped it will **recelve far more generous support than It has ever received/* Excerpts from his rsfnsrks follow: > "Industrial societ y has learned more and more that It must have trained persons. The average salaries of the upper one-third of the faculty of the University of Illinois exceeds the maximum paid at Indiana University. Salaries at,Ohio University are far higher than at Indiana University. We have lost men the state of Indiana can ill afford to lose. A university is its faculty. Deterioration of a faculty is a serious thing.” The presidents presented in pamphlst form the financial needs of the Institutions in much the same form am has been made public heretofore.

He said selfrespect has driven many men out of college work for shame at the pit tanee they received for their work.
