THE CLEAVER MEMORIAL FUND.
It is well known to our readers how the late Rev. Euseby D. Cleaver sustained for many years at his own expense a prize fund to encourage the teaching of Irish in the primary schools. When Mr. Cleaver died nothing was more natural than that those who knew and prized his life's aim, and were at one with him in the love of the Irish language, should desire to take such action as would at once perpetuate and honour his memory, and would carry out his appointed task in the way that he himself so wisely chose. For this purpose the Cleaver Memorial Fund has been instituted.
The money subscribed to the fund will be annually expended in direct encouragement of the teaching of the Irish language in Irish primary schools. The exact method in which the funds will be allocated will be made known in due time.
The friends of the Irish language in America have, with characteristic energy, taken the lead in this good work. A subscription list has been opened in the Catholic Times of Philadelphia, and, as will be seen below, a most auspicious beginning has been made. The subscriptions acknowledged in the Catholic Times will also appear monthly in the Gaelic Journal.
A committee for the administration of the Cleaver Fund is in course of formation. Meanwhile, subscriptions forwarded to Mr. John Hogan, manager of the Gaelic Journal, 8 Leeson-park-avenue, Dublin, will be acknowledged by letter and in the Gaelic Journal, and will be lodged to a separate account pending the completion of the arrangements of the committee.
