Several mil lion of dollars are ready to be pledged to the great undertaking and abund ant means will be available as soon as the plans for organisation are com pleted. While there have been frequent con ferences of late regarding the educa tional organisation to be formed. It may be several weeks before the men who are busy w ith Its plans are ready to apply for charters.
