The City of Philanthropy

The City of Philanthropy.—A letter comes to us from A. G. Lee, Denton, Texas, stating that "an association of philanthropists from different parts of the world is being formed for the purpose of buying a town site covering the geographical center of the United States of America (in Kansas), name the place Philanthropy, and found two world philanthropic institutions (the International Political Specialists' School and the World's Diasthetic Institute) there." Now all the good which can come from this we shall rejoice in, but the center of the United States will be no more help to an enterprise of this kind than the center of the earth, and the particular spot would help no more than a place in Timbuctoo. Why not try Chicago or New York? There is opportunity for practise in those places.
