Also, Prosiitent Fakroll promisos to try to arrange tg have the necosary sum donated *&or.@ving'thcss 'g$.ma cast and dolivcrod, This makes.in all a donation of about'.$$30@0., There' are other donations of rope and 8 few other items which we havb not'yet aouhted. iri' a8 assets because they are conditional on a group donatirpr them. "The assets on hqpd,including the pictures priced at brtlokr's ji, 'cost, tlig souvonirs on hand ious incidental items used in +e oam&a.i@;m or in, the mking of souvenirs, to $201,542. Therefore, ij: we'c$n dispo.pe of the balance, ' of the pictures and the souvenirs and realizs on these inkidental'assets, me would realize just about enough to complete the campaign. If we 'had no further donations, of material, the total. munt needed for completing the CONS~pI'I'uPIO~.woul.d~ be approximately $250,000, but w0 ',have these donations promised, arad' we'hava thosalablo assets, and thoroforb I fix approximatolg $200,000 as the amount of mmy needed, considering at the sarm time the cost of getting t necessary swn will be reduo Wther donations of mter hopeful. -. > * "The National Save 'Old frpnsides",codttee has 'r,ecent plan for disposing of large gu&tiit,ies.ofs pibtukes-whiob, bas been called the 'schooj. picture plan', Following it, tve qpproacwd vfdu+lsh, r&uesting them to donate to the find to the extent of purcha-siyig atid'histories of the ship $ 9 oom ~ plimentary distribution to the childr'w &e school which as youngsters they

17 attended. Thus we contime to combin6 the educational with the financial in furthering the patriotic campaign with a fair degree of success. "Counting in the cost of the various things that have entered into the campaigitl. and the results so far accomplished, the cost of the campaign so far has been approximately 25 pcrccnt, and when the fundcis completed I anticipato that it will be about 15 pcrccnt. "As thc moncy balance on hand all tho tjmo has bcen in a Lnitcd State:: dcpository in Boston, we have rccoivcd in ifiterest, on thc bank doposits a total on June 1st of $25,486, which of course has been's help. given EL.large part of my timo to this campaign since I havc bccn here and there have been generally several officers helping with the campaign. YD have approached practically all organizations in the United States and have received a certain amount of assistance &om them. We have scnt circulars to mny hundreds of thousands of individuals, and I believe have rather naturally mde a business yroposition of collecting this mimy from tho pcoplo. ' ttthe returns, howovcr, hmo been small from a very large number of pcoplc. There have been perhaps ten or a dozen people who have contributed as much as $1,000 api'eoe, and a few have contribyted a little more. There has been an enormous qmount of patriotic interest and enthusiasm created for the most part, however, among people who could not express their enthusiasm in much money. "The campaign itself, however, has been very well worth while. With each picture has gone out a historical publication telling somthing of the emly history of this country and of the exploits of the CONSTITUTION. I have received m y thousands QT letters exprcssirg tho grgatest interest in the rebuilding of the ship, and the greatest amount of patriotism. When she is completed, which will be some-time in 1930, the plan is to send her a11 over the United States and let the people SBO her, evon to the Hawaiian Islands and Alaska. Sho will be a floating national naval monument and as such dl1 be received by the people. There will be no question in their minds as to how much of the original CONSTITUTION rerrrsins,.though that vi11 be stated. To will be tho COWSTITUTION. The CONS'I'Il!~~ Campaign, to rqr mind, and it has been growing on mc from tho timo that I took it over, nill stand for education h the early history of this Country and in naval history, for patriotism and for Amricanisn. The Superintendent of Playgrournis and Sports iii Chicrgo has written to.= that they hzve found the Story Of the CONSTITUTION and the actual exhibition of souvenirs made from the ship, of greatest value,among children of forcign,..rs, and a distinct aid in their Amcr icanization plans. The Superintendent of Plasgrounds, V. X. Brown, says: 'Dealirg as we do ir. our p :*k communities with the children of immigant parents, in a geest tsq- instaiices, ne believe that an nctivo support of th6 cmpsign to save this h3: forically significant ship constitutes much bettor Amzricaniziztion effort than som of,tho,americanization work done in our cities, and xu? fool that a rather conspicuous souvenir of ths ship will bve a pemneiit value, when housed in our community buildings, as a reminder of the traditions and history of the Wavy, as a national institut ion. * "These things are all worth while. The idea of education and patriotism runs through every part of this canp~ign. The rmcccss along these lines has been great, It has beon t? ploasure to me to have 'a p t in it.)) -9-
