"It is particularly important to im press upon the people that this vast undertaking must not be left to those of great wealth as no such sum can be subscribed except by earnest co-operation of all the people of the country. "It is estimated that in the first cam paign there were about 5.000.000 sub scribers and with the better organiza tion now available and the large amount of educational work which has been done, the country should be able to count at the close of the campaign subscriptions from at least 10,000,000 people.
