Hence arose the five-million-dollar fund to reward heroes, or to support the families of heroes, who perish in the effort to serve or save their fellows, and to supplement what employers or others do in contributing to the support of the families of those left destitute through accidents. This fund, established April 15, 1904, has proved from every point of view a decided success. I cherish a fatherly regard for it since no one suggested it to me. As far as I know, it never had been thought of; hence it is emphatically "my ain bairn." Later I extended it to my native land, Great Britain, with headquarters at Dunfermline--the Trustees of the Carnegie Dunfermline Trust undertaking its administration, and splendidly have they succeeded. In due time it was extended to France, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and Denmark.

白话
卡内基设立了一笔五百万美元的英雄基金,用来奖励那些为救他人而牺牲的英雄,或抚养他们的家人,也补充雇主等对事故遗属的资助。这笔基金1904年4月15日成立,效果非常好。卡内基特别珍视它,因为这是他自己想出来的,没人提醒,所以戏称它是“我亲生的孩子”。后来他把基金扩展到故乡英国,总部设在邓弗姆林,由当地信托管理,运作很成功。之后又陆续推广到法国、德国、意大利、比利时、荷兰、挪威、瑞典、瑞士和丹麦。
