Bequests

Bequests.—There was given in the year 1905 by gifts and bequests to educational institutions, religious enterprise, charity, libraries, museums, art galleries, and municipal betterments in the United States the huge sum of $104,586,422. This is the largest for several years, but not so large as in 1901 by more than eight million dollars. Very much of this has been given by men who have made immense fortunes in exploiting the people and the country.
