i' AMERICAN GENEROSITY.
(The rich American is oftentimes
pointed to with a great deal of scorn
by his fellow Americans but it can
not be denied that much of the criti
cism is the outgrowth of envy and
there are few of the less fortunate
who would not readily exchange plac
es with him. And the rich American,
Jjowever he may have acquire,! his
-wealth, is at least a generous indi
vidual as the largo gifts of the last
year attest. Known charitable gifts .
in the United States during the year
1913 aggregate he enormous sum of
$80,135,476. ,
This is $2.61 for every second, ev
ery tick of the clock, according to a
compilation made in New York.
At the head of this list is the be
quest of the late New York merchant,
Benjamin Altman, of his collection,
valued at $15,430,000 to the Metro
politan museum of 'New York. John
D. Rockefeller, jr., with his gift of
$10,000,000 to aid in the suppression
of the .white slave traffic, is second.
These are followed in order by Colonel
O- H. Payne, with $4,350,000 to Cor
nell university; Ferris S. Thompson,
with $3,655,000 and Robert P. Dore
mus, with a gift to' Washington and
Lee university of $3,000,000.
These are the greatest charitable
offerings recordedl during the yer.r u:
there were a number of others, rang

Of course, this compilation included
only the well known charitable offer
ings. There must have been hund
reds of thousands of others, of small
amounts each totaling a great sum
in the aggregate, which will probably

a hundred million dollars. Certainly
