An Unusual Gift,
The Susquehanna Silk Mille at Mil-
ton presented the school board of that
city the building on Hepburn
for schoo! purposes. The building is
estimated to be worth $70,004,
This unprecedented action, coming
from a large industry with a number
of plants In other places, shows an
unusual Interest in public education
and what it stands for. The plant
might have been sold and the money
used for purposes other than equip-
ping boys and girls for citizenship, but
evidenty the Busquehanna Silk Mille
has t a high valuation on young
