Ashleigh's Note: This is a statue of John McDonogh, an eccentric millionaire who left a fortune to Public Education in New Orleans and Baltimore, Maryland in the mid-1800's. In New Orleans, over 30 schools were built with his name along with the number of the school. The statue was finished in December 1898; and every May, on what was designated as McDonogh Day, the children would lay flowers by the statue in tribute to him as they sang the "McDonogh Ode" song:

O, wake the trumpet of renown,
Far-echoing a hero's name.
Oh, bring the shining laurel crown
That marks the glow of honored fame.

McDonogh! Let the trumpet blow
And with the garland twine his brow;
Extol him with your voices now:
Praise to him, all praise to him.

He sought not paths where glory shone
Nor dreamed of fame in Southern lore.
Twin cities claim him for their own,
New Orleans and fair Baltimore.

He gave his wealth to educate;
He lived that end to consummate;
His memory, then, perpetuate.
Praise to him, all praise to him.

McDonogh, unto thee we rear
A monument of fairest art
In memory of thy high career,
Enshrined within each grateful heart.

Now ready hands your offerings bring,
Now youthful tongues laudations sing
Until the heavens with echoes ring:
Praise to him, all praise to him.

Description:  McDonogh Under a Blanket of Flowers, New Orleans, La. John McDonogh left a large fortune to establish free schools for the children of New Orleans, his only request was that they might lay a flower on his grave-- the first Friday in May is McDonogh day and delegates from hundreds of schools deposit flowers, the result is bewildering.
Ashleigh's Note: I took the liberty of correcting the misspelling of McDonogh's name on the front description of the postcard.

John McDonogh, who became a recluse after being disappointed in love in New Orleans, left half his large fortune to the cause of education in New Orleans. 32 public schools have been built with the money he left.
