COOPER was bora in New York Feb. 12, 1791. He was @f nine children in @ family where, ike the hen's brood, all had to @cratch for a living.

His first employment was pulling rabbits’ fur for his father’e bat tastery, which was located behind the chimney tn the old kitche: te achool only one year, and during that period only one-half of worked in his father’s brewery ae diligently as he had factory. upon his father to permit him te learn the trade of car- ‘age-maker. In our early history people believed with Franklin: ‘He that hath hath an estate.” $10 given him by his father to etart life in New fork Peter jost in Penntless and hungry he walked the city streets and was refused work, “en for his board. His first bet was his last—he won because he lest. Peter was never foolish twice in the same thing. ‘ortunatg@ly he found @ job in Woodward's carriage factory. After hie day's he sought in vain for ecientific booke which he needed, for he looked for- ara to the day when he would himeelf be a manufaeturer. The books he ited could not be obtained, It was then he declared that should he ever wet rich he would establish @ free achool and library for working people. At twenty-one he went into a woollen mill at Hempstead to build and fépair the machinery. As a result of his studies in the improvement of machinery he ttvented a shearing machine on which he received @ royalty of §350 a year. he had saved 900 he visited his father and, finding him in debt, gave him all his savings to clear off annoying llabilites. ‘The War of 1812 made cloth’s price advance rapidly. Peter Coopet had made out in the suburbs of New York. A cornerstone in Cooper Union ts on the where the old hitching post stood before his little grocery shop. In one ack of the store and three small rooms over it Cooper lived with hie Sarah Bedell. When Peter was out buying she was at home selling. She 428 not simply a help-eat but a help-meet other things they eold was glue. informed Peter that it was the best glue one must make @ better quality, I think I'll do it myself.” ‘He went to a glue factory to learn how it was made. The owner was dis- saying there was “not @ cent in the glue business” and that he would eel) out the first chance he got. Peter thought it over. He advised with Sarah . She said she was sure he knew what was best to do. He began to in a tin can in hie back yard, He argued—everybody needs il most. He bought the glue factory. ‘To build it larger in two years he bought the large lot on which the grocery Bi steve stood. He was up at § in the morning. He bulit the fires, He was his ealesman.

Im eighteen years his income had risen to $70,000 a year and his land from to $70,000. Peter and his wife worked and to build that school for jorking people, investments in lands near Baltimore as well in the new Baltimore ind Ohio Railroad greatly enriched him. He built after his own dosign the iret locomotive constructed on this continent (1830). Seeing the need of more foiling mills and improved ironworks he opened the mills whitch have been ch @ remarkable source of wealth, to the people as well as to his ertate, Cooper never made a jr at other people's expense. The secret of bis @uccess was: He sought People's newds and honestly supplied them. ‘Cooper Union, founded 1864-59, for the instruction of the industrixi classes, is ule lasting monument. He died April 4, 1883, ninety-two yeare old. A neighbor expressed the feel- of all the people in these words, as quoted by Parton: “He te gone! The good olf man is gone.
