It is not the irreclaimably destitute,\nshiftless, and worthless that it is truly beneficial or truly benevolent\nto attempt to reach and improve. For these there exists\nthe refuge provided by the city or the state, where they can be\nsheltered, fed, clothed, and kept in comfortable existence, and—\nmost important of all—where they can be isolated from the well\ndoing and industrious poor, who are liable to be demoralized\nby contact with these unfortunates.

The individual administrator of\nsurplus wealth has as his charge the industrious and ambitious;\nnot those who need everything done for them, but those who,\nbeing most anxious and able to help themselves, deserve and\nwill be benefited by help from others and the extension of their\nopportunities at the hands of the philanthropic rich.\nIt is ever to be remembered that one of the chief obstacles which\nthe philanthropist meets in his efforts to do real and permanent\ngood in this world is the practice of indiscriminate giving; and\nthe duty of the millionaire is to resolve to cease giving to objects\nthat are not proved clearly to his satisfaction to be deserving. He\nmust remember Mr. Rice’s belief, that nine hundred and fifty\nout of every thousand dollars bestowed today upon so-called\ncharity had better be thrown into the sea. As far as my experience\nof the wealthy extends, it is unnecessary to urge them to give of\ntheir superabundance in charity so called. Greater good for the\nrace is to be achieved by inducing them to cease impulsive and\ninjurious giving. As a rule, the sins of millionaires in this respect\nare not those of omission, but of commission, because they will\nnot take time to think, and chiefly because it is much easier to\ngive than to refuse. Those who have surplus wealth give millions\nevery year which produce more evil than good, and which really\nretard the progress of the people, because most of the forms in\nvogue today for benefiting mankind only tend to spread among\nthe poor a spirit of dependence upon alms, when what is\nessential for progress is that they should be inspired to depend\nupon their own exertions. The miser millionaire who hoards his\nwealth does less injury to society than the careless millionaire\nwho squanders his unwisely, even if he does so under cover\nof the mantle of sacred charity. The man who gives to the\nindividual beggar commits a grave offence, but there are many\nsocieties and institutions soliciting alms which it is none the\nless injurious to the community to aid. These are as corrupting\nas individual beggars. Plutarch’s Morals contains this lesson:\n“A beggar asking an alms of a Lacedaemonian, he said: ‘Well,\nshould I give thee anything, thou wilt be the greater beggar, for\nhe that first gave thee money made thee idle, and is the cause\nof this base and dishonorable way of living.’” As I know them,\nthere are few millionaires, very few indeed, who are clear of\nthis sin of having made beggars."}

Only those who have passed through a lingering and\ndangerous illness can rate at their true value the care, skill, and\nattendance of trained female nurses.

As far as my experience\nof the wealthy extends, it is unnecessary to urge them to give of\ntheir superabundance in charity so called. Greater good for the\nrace is to be achieved by inducing them to cease impulsive and\ninjurious giving.

It was pointed\nout that in many cases these bequests become merely monuments\nof the testators’ folly; that the amount of real good done\nby posthumous gifts was ridiculously disproportionate to the\nsums thus left. The recent decision upon Mr. Tilden’s will,\nwhich is said to have been drawn by the ablest of lawyers, and\nthe partial failure of Mr. Williamson’s purposes in regard to\nthe great technical school which that millionaire intended to\nestablish in Philadelphia, are lessons indeed for the rich who\nonly bequeath.\nThe aim of the first article was thus to lead up to the conclusion\nthat there is but one right mode of using enormous fortunes—\nnamely, that the possessors from time to time during their own\nlives should so administer them as to promote the permanent\ngood of the communities from which they have been gathered. It\nwas held that public sentiment would soon say of one who died\npossessed of millions of available wealth which he might have\nadministered: “The man who dies thus rich dies disgraced.”\nThe purpose of this article is to present some of the best methods\nof performing this duty of administering surplus wealth for\nthe good of the people. The first requisite for a really good use\nof wealth by the millionaire who has accepted the gospel which\nproclaims him only a trustee of the surplus that comes to him,\nis to take care that the purpose for which he spends it shall not\nhave a degrading, pauperizing tendency upon its recipients, and\nthat his trust should be so administered as to stimulate the best\nand most aspiring poor of the community to further efforts for\ntheir own improvement. It is not the irreclaimably destitute,\nshiftless, and worthless that it is truly beneficial or truly benevolent\nto attempt to reach and improve. For these there exists\nthe refuge provided by the city or the state, where they can be\nsheltered, fed, clothed, and kept in comfortable existence, and—\nmost important of all—where they can be isolated from the well\ndoing and industrious poor, who are liable to be demoralized\nby contact with these unfortunates. One man or woman who\nsucceeds in living comfortably by begging is more dangerous\nto society, and a greater obstacle to the progress of humanity,\nthan a score of wordy Socialists. The individual administrator of\nsurplus wealth has as his charge the industrious and ambitious;\nnot those who need everything done for them, but those who,\nbeing most anxious and able to help themselves, deserve and\nwill be benefited by help from others and the extension of their\nopportunities at the hands of the philanthropic rich.\nIt is ever to be remembered that one of the chief obstacles which\nthe philanthropist meets in his efforts to do real and permanent\ngood in this world is the practice of indiscriminate giving; and\nthe duty of the millionaire is to resolve to cease giving to objects\nthat are not proved clearly to his satisfaction to be deserving. He\nmust remember Mr. Rice’s belief, that nine hundred and fifty\nout of every thousand dollars bestowed today upon so-called\ncharity had better be thrown into the sea. As far as my experience\nof the wealthy extends, it is unnecessary to urge them to give of\ntheir superabundance in charity so called. Greater good for the\nrace is to be achieved by inducing them to cease impulsive and\ninjurious giving. As a rule, the sins of millionaires in this respect\nare not those of omission, but of commission, because they will\nnot take time to think, and chiefly because it is much easier to\ngive than to refuse. Those who have surplus wealth give millions\nevery year which produce more evil than good, and which really\nretard the progress of the people, because most of the forms in\nvogue today for benefiting mankind only tend to spread among\nthe poor a spirit of dependence upon alms, when what is\nessential for progress is that they should be inspired to depend\nupon their own exertions. The miser millionaire who hoards his\nwealth does less injury to society than the careless millionaire\nwho squanders his unwisely, even if he does so under cover\nof the mantle of sacred charity. The man who gives to the\nindividual beggar commits a grave offence, but there are many\nsocieties and institutions soliciting alms which it is none the\nless injurious to the community to aid. These are as corrupting\nas individual beggars. Plutarch’s Morals contains this lesson:\n“A beggar asking an alms of a Lacedaemonian, he said: ‘Well,\nshould I give thee anything, thou wilt be the greater beggar, for\nhe that first gave thee money made thee idle, and is the cause\nof this base and dishonorable way of living.’” As I know them,\nthere are few millionaires, very few indeed, who are clear of\nthis sin of having made beggars."}, "34"=>{"id"=>34, "sub"=>"This paragraph introduces the concept of millionaires as trustees of their wealth and outlines several worthy areas where they can invest their surplus funds for the benefit of society.", "obj"=>"The paragraph transitions into discussing the best ways for millionaires to use their surplus wealth.

The forms that benefactions\nto these may wisely take are numerous, but probably none\nis more useful than that adopted by Mr. Osborn when he built a\nschool for training female nurses at Bellevue College. If from all\ngifts there flows one half of the good that comes from this wise\nuse of a millionaire’s surplus, the most exacting may well be\nsatisfied. Only those who have passed through a lingering and\ndangerous illness can rate at their true value the care, skill, and\nattendance of trained female nurses. Their employment as nurses\nhas enlarged the sphere and influence of woman.

No more useful or more beautiful monument can be\nleft by any man than a park for the city in which he was born\nor in which he has long lived, nor can the community pay a\nmore graceful tribute to the citizen who presents it than to give\nhis name to the gift.
