Andrew Carnegie, who was born one hundred years ago this month, began life with nothing, a penniless emigrant. He created real wealth, mighty structures of steel, worth £80,000,000. Carnegie endowed educa- tion with many millions of pounds, so that more poor boys and girls should have access to knowledge.
