HITS HARD AT ROCKEFELLER.
A School Scored for Accepting and Using
Il-GGtten Wealth.

Dr.. John Bascom, formerly
president of the University of
isconsin. recently made
sensational attack on John d.
Rockefeller, the multi millionaire
and the University Of Chicago,
which accepts his gifts of money.
There is solid truth in what DR..
Bascom says, and some of his
hardest licks are well worth
reading. He said;
"No money that is obtained at
the exp ense of the people can
ever be used for the good of the
people. There are no trusts in
the intellectual world, and no
corners in the kingdom Of heaven.
[ doubt the power Of any uni
versity 70 turn money that has
been made at the expense of the
community into the welfare Of
the community. The taint Of a
bad temper will cling TO it like a
flavor in an unclean infusion.
"The present contention of
men over riches is like the
fight ng of dogs over a bone. The
victor limps away, under blind
instinct, buries his bone, and
then forgets it, Bones have not
even nourished the dog-life
wasted upon then. The glory
of a reality not yet real, the
splendor of a work not yet
accomplished, the beauty OF a day
that has not yet dawned these are
the enthusiasm of the teachers,
and into these eternal terms he
must translate all human ex-
perjence."
AS this was apparently aimed
at the Standard Oil magnate he
was asked for an explanation,
and he said:
Sharp County record., 1903-01-09

"Certainly | meant the Chicago
University and its acceptance Of
the gifts from John D. Rockefeller.
When an institution founded and
maintained for the benefit and
education of the youth Of the
public accepts money which has
been gained in direct defiance of
law ard principles laid down by
that public, it v,tiates its influence
on the mind of those students
upon whom it is its duty to exert
g good and moral influence.

OF INTEREST TO SCHOOL DIRECTORS.

In answer to a query from one
of the counties, Attorney General
George w. Murphy has delivered
the following opinion relative to
the extent of the purchasing
authority of school directors,
which is ofipterest, in view of the
recent order Of Superintendent
Hinemon on this head:
"Dear Sir-I have had a
conversation with the Supertend-
ent of public instruction about the
matter of your letter of the 29th
ult., in which you say that on
the 25th Of November, 1902, your
school directors bought maps,
charts, globes, etc., to the
amount of S75, and issued
warrants in the sum Of S25 each,
payable yearly, the last one
three years from date, and that
the maps, etc., are there and in
good condition, as represented by
the agent. You also say that
tbs expenditure was not author
lied by the electors, and that
you wish to know whether
payment can be authorized here
after by the electors in the annual
school meeting, and whether the
outstanding warrants, can be
collected if the electors do no'
vote for their payment.
Doubtless the superintendent
has written you and given you
the proper information. The
directors have no shadow oi
right to issue warrants, payable
two or three years hence. The
electors in annual school meeting
will have no authority to ratify
the purchase or diract payment
vi the warrants. The warrant,
cannot lawfully be paid"
