Friday, November 29, 1935. THE PILOT, Southern Pine^ and Aberdeen, North CaroHia A. Page ThrM MacN^il Design for Monument in Madison Square is Accepted Memorial to Late Dr. Parkhurst of New York, Foe of Crime, To Be Erected Plans submitted by Herman A. MacNeil, sculptor, of Pinebluff and New York, for a memorial monu ment to the late Dr. Charles H. Parkhurst, long president of the So ciety for the Prevention of Crime, have been accepted, it was announced last week in New York, and a cam paign to raise $30,000 for the statute is to be launched at once. The me morial will be placed in Madison Square, New York City. Mr. MacNeil’a plans were accepted by the Park Department of New York City, and a preliminary model of the statue and its pedestal won the necessary approval of the Municipal Art Commission. The statue, cast in bronze, eight and a half feet high, will represent Dr. Parkhurst preaching from his pulpit. It will stand on an octagonal pedestal of pink Dunn Mountain granite, set on a bajse platform inlaid with colored granites in a geometri cal design. The height of the monu ment will be fifteen feet, the diame ter of its platform twenty-five feet. The front of the pedestal block will carry this inscription: “Charles Henry Parkhurst, Preacher of Right eousness, Militant Foe of Civic Wrong.” The city seal will be on the back. The south inscription will read: "Minister of the Madison Square F*resbyterian Church, President of the Society for the Prevention of Crime.” The north inscription will be: "From the pulpit of the church across the way he summoned his fellow townsmen to the achieving of a no bler city.” The figure of Dr. Parkhurst will look toward the former site of his church, the southeast corner of Mad ison Avenue and Twenty-fourth Street. It was in that church, on February 14, 1892, that Dr. Park hurst launched the one-man crusade which wrecked the powerful Tam many machine of Richard Croker. In speaking of the plajined memor ial to Dr. Parkhurst, the memorial committee said: “It behooves the citizens of our city to honor him by placing a like ness of him where the public will be inspired. His work might easily be forgotten. As long as bronze shall endure and iniquity flourish, this sta tue of Dr. Parkhurst will remind the citizens of New York of their personal daily responsibility for hon est government.” Mr. MacNeil recently completed a new studio in Pinebluff and is doing much of his work here.
