Alt these things are done for them without exertion. on their Soom - part and at public expense. The effect: of all this upon. the squirrels has been weakening and demoralizing, In a state of nature 2 squirrel is more than a match for a cat in a square fight, and it has nothing: to fear’ fram a dog. So enervated have the Central Park squirrels becomé by the coddling they receiye that a man is kept busy with a rifle defending them from cats and dogs. : : In a wild state squirrels are not _ troubled with-lung discases or digestive troubles. They are agile and alert. In the fall they store away a supply of nuts for the winter time Practice on nuts, keeps their teeth In good condition. Protected from © © shotguns and rifles, they breed to the limit of the food supply of their ‘The Central Park squirrels are not healthy. They become fat throug! Yack of exercise. . Their fur is in bad shape through improper diet. So: of them have lung disease. All of them have lost in vigor and virility. They are enéFvated. - In one respect squirrels do not differ from men. Gratuitous charity is as demoralizing to one as. the other. Prof. Sinclair, of Victoria University, makes a public report of the éffect of Andrew Carnegie’s gift of $10,080,000 to the Scottish univer- “Tels. Before Mr. Carnegie gave this vast sum of money ihe Scottish stu- dents had to support themiselves and pay their own tuition fees. If the: were ambitious, abstinent, able, and willing to submit to hardships i: order to gain an educationg they were graduatet!ftom the univers with their self-respect intact, inured to hard work, self-reliant and abl: to face the world. Since.the Carnegie’ donations were distributed the studen{s have become idle and improvident. Some of them have secretly accepte. Mr. Caregie’s charity and used their parents’ money in bad living anc vice. Many others have lost tHe incentive to hard work and study. Among the class of students who formerly worked their way throug! the universities the demoralization has been greatest. Instead of suppor! ing themseles, they have drawn upon the Carnegie fund. Instead o: “concentrating their intellectual efforts on their work and their studies. donations they could appro- - Whether in Central Park or in the Scotch universities, or anywhere else, indiscriminate charity does harm. To do charity intelligently and with good instead of harm Is-a task which requires quite as much time, pid. Uta ability and effort as the making of steel rails; the refining of. crude petroleum or the obtaining of railroad rebates. _ The way in which many of the great fortunes of the ited States -> were amassed is a shame io their possessors and a disgrace to Ameri 4 self-government. If these great fortunes are to be distributed in demoral- izing charity, their harm will be greater still. : ii The creation of paupers and dependents is many times worse than ‘even picking the pockets of the community. ‘ Th e Evening _ Wor Id’s sities which reads singularly like the report on the Central Park squir- |’ a Daily Magazine, Tuesday, Decem ber 18, 1906.
