egie for some • years

Carnegie for some- years has been considering methods for helping Scotch students to obtain university education. He consulted Lord Balfour of BuHeigh, Lord Elgin, Thomas Shaw and other representative educators, and the result was that he presented the fund just announced, which will produce an annual income of £-50,000 ($250,000). Inquiries by Mr. Carnegie show that the total fees paid to the four universities are £49.000 ($245/100) annually. He considers that the money he has donated will give an income sufficient to provide free university education for every boy and girl in Scotland capable of passing the entrance examination. Mr. Carnegie is determined that the benefit* shall be open to rich and poor alike, so that there shall be nothing suggestive of pauperism connected with the gift. He desires that all Scotch men and women shall enter the universities on an equal footing; hence the money it not given to the students to pay their fees, but to the universities themselves. The system is made perpetually free and will probably be un-
