Full Text	box00003_fld00005_bdl0001_doc0055_00000001.txt; Copy of Letter Villa Allerton, CAMES. 3rd December 97. Dear Mr. Church, Nothing connected with the Institute interests me more than the Prizes offered to pupils of the Public Schools, and no wonder, because I do not know anything so well calculated to develop the observing and reflecting qualities of the young. And what an agency for giving them one of the rarest, and yet most useful accomplishments, namely the ability to put In writing, clearly and tersely, what appeals to them. It is something to be proud of, that the Board of Trustees can claim originality for this idea. Pittsburg was the first to introduce it � Pittsburg pupils were the first to win prizes for this work. Please give my kindest regards to the pupils In general, and the prize-winners in particular, and tell them that I am always their friend. Yours very truly, AHDREW CARNEGIE S. H# Church. Esq., Pittsburgh PA.
