Milton S. Hershey Explains 'I Was a Poor Boy Myself Once,' By 808 DORMAN \EA Service Staff Writer j ERSHEY, Pa., Nov. 15. |i 1 j “I was a poor boy myself, onee.” . Seven short words, but they tell the story of millions given away as other men give dimes. For Milton Snaveley Hershey has turned over $60,000,000, practically all of a fortune built up by a lifetime of labor, to found a school for orphan hoys. * t found Hershey in his home located in this little village hidden away in the hills of central Pennsylvania, the village he has built from the bare fields of a farming community, a village that has no town form of government and where Mr. Hershey's word is law. His workers' homes are built on land donated by Hershey the houses erected by payments frAn their salaries. The streets are paved and clean, a village that might well (deserve the name of “Spotless Town.” "Why have you given away such a fortune?” I asked him. His answer was the seven words that head this story. Continuing, he said: “My country has beer, good to me. I feel that what I have, is but a trust. “And I know of no better way to repay that trust, than to give to America young men. healthy .and strong, educated in the fundamentals.' and who look upon work as an honor, and not something to be avoided. “Tt is time more attention was paid to humanity, and less to machinery: to polishing up men and not brass.

Work Brings Happiness “No man can find real happiness | except in work: no Nation can edure unless her people are honest work- | era.” He took me to the school that he j has founded, where 120 orphan boys, j ranging in age from 4 to 18, are be ing cared for. The school is located on a farm I about a mile from Hershey. Its main building is the farmhouse where Her--shey was bom. Mv father owned this farm.” Mr. Hershey said, “and my grandfather the next one, and my great-grand-father the one beyond that. But they were lost, and I had to buy them 'back.” We went through the dormitory-, a large brick building, occupied by the colder boys. The ground floor holds \ the school rooms, the basement the j (gymnasium, the upper floors being j the sleeping quarters. "*A nice enough room, isn't it?” I said Mr. Hershey as he showed one of the rooms with its two snow-white beds, “but just a little warm. When T was a kid and slept in that attic over there I had to break the ice in the pitcher in order to wash in the morning. “The- bam used to be here where this building Is now. I’d drive the cows in, morning and night, dressed in an old pair of overalls, and with ; my bare feet tingling to the feel of t:e grass. "I had to walk a mile and a half to school In the winter. I worked on the farm in the summer. But I was healthy. I had plenty to eat. Look at these boys here. Do they look much like the youngsters you see in the city?” AH Dressed Differently The boys had surrounded Mr. Hershey. They greeted him as one of themselves. The youngsters climbed all over him. Every’ boy was dressed differently. 'No uniformed sameness at the Hershey school. . **t am not trying to make supermen out of these boys. Just to make .good Americans of them. To give them the chance that fate has denied them. “They stay here until they are I*. Then they can go to work in the candy factory, or we will help them to get a job where they want it. “If a boy shows any exceptional 1 talent that would need a college education to develop it, we -will aid him in that. But a college education is not needed in every walk of life.” Hershey is 66 years old. descended from a Swiss family that settled in County, Pennsylvania, 250 years ago. At 17, filled with ambition to make money, he left the farm, and became a printer’s devil in Gap. Pa He worked for. six months without salary, just for his keep. Life Did Not Appeal The life did not appeal.

MILTON S. HERSHEY TELLS A JOKE TO FIVE-YEAR OLD ROBERT SCHAEFFER, ONE OF THE INMATES OF HIS SCHOOL. HERSHEY IS JUST ONE OF THE BOYS—ACCEPTED BY THEM IN PLACE OF THE FATHER WHOM THEY NEVER WILL SEE AGAIN. THEY BRING HIM THEIR BOYISH TROUBLES AND JOYS ON HIS ALMOST DAILY VISITS.

“looked as if microbes had crawled over it.” according to Hershey. He then went to Lancaster, Pa., where he spent three years in learn lng candy making. In 1876, with the little money he had managed to save, he went to Philadelphia, where he went into business for himself. The collision of his delivery wagon with a street car killed his horse —anti his failing business. For two >years he worked in the West at his trade Returning East, he once more tried his luck at business, by opening up a store in New York in 1884. where once more he failed. Eventually he went to Lancaster, Pa., all his youthful ambition for making money, dead. He once more opened a small candy factory, hoping to make enough to live on comfortably. There success came to him. But the old homestead drew him. He bought back the acres that had slipped away. He began erection of PRI OF WATER 1 DM HIPS KIDNEYS Eating too much rich food may pro- ! duce kidney trouble in some form. | says a well-known authority, because j the acids created excite the kidneys.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

New York might envy, brought a selection and prices no large city can beat. His workers have never struck. Seventy-five per cent of them own their own homes. Their salaries equal the current market rate, but twenty-five per cent of the net profits of the business is paid to them as extra compensation after deduction for return on the capital invested, the other seventy-five per cent going to the Orphans’ School. This bonus in the first three months of the year amounted to twenty-six per cent of their salary, in the second three months to twenty per cent, and in the last three months to 24.4 per cent. Hershey visited other schools and orphanages before he started his school. His applicants must be physically and mentally fit, white and American born. "I hope,” says Hershey, “that within the next ten years we can have 1,000 boys. I am also going to start a similar school in Cuba where we have 4,000 employes. I want the boys to grow up in home like surroundings —and son# day I hope some of them will be running the business.” Hiram Johnson Next!
