Statement Issued.
With the letter, the following statemen
was given out
John d. Rockefeller, Jr.. with other
\ gentlemen Of this city, was instru
mental in forming the General Educn-
ton Board in February, 1902. A very
broad and admirable charter was Sc
cured from Congress and signed bJ'
President Roosevelt on January 18th,
1903.
"a gift OF one million dollars from
Mr.. John ID. Rockefeller was immed-
lately passed over to the board, es-
pecinlly designated for educational
work in tho South. Other funds have
been added by other philanthrophstsS
since that time and the board has
confined its work hitherto mainly to
educational work in the Southern
z States.
''.rhe present gift differs from Mr.
i Rockefelier's first gift to the board
in the following particulars:
"The principal sum of the gift OF one
million dollars made on the orgnnlza-
ton of the board could be distributed.
The present gift Of ten million dollars
is held as endowment, the income only
being available for distribution.
Tho first gift was designed to be
used exclusively in the Southern
states The present gift is for use,
not only in the Southern States, but
throughout the United States, Will
out distinction OF section.
..Thc first gift could be used for
Z common schools and secondary educa-
4 ton. The second gift IS confined to-
higher education, and is designed
esnecinlly for colleges, as distinguish
cd from the great universities, al
though there Is no prohibition IN the
letter Of gift against making contr.-
4 buttons to universities.
5.Both gifts are alike available for
denominational schools as we'll as for;
those which are non-sectarian. Whlle
the funds may be employed for de-
nominational schools, they will be
employed without .sectnran DISTINCT
tions. No special denomination VIII
10 particularly favored, but the funds
\ VIII be open to approved schools Of all
denominations, although they cannot
be employed for giving specifically
theological institutions
"In distributing the funds the board
will aim especially to favor those
institutions which are we'll located and
which have local Econstitutency suffi-
GENTLY strong and able to insure per-
manent power. No attempt Will be
made 10 rcsuscitate morbund schools
or to assist institutions which are so
located that they. cannot promise to be
permanently useful.
within these limits there arc no
restrictions as to- the use of the IN
come. 1t may be5used for endowment,
for buildings, for current expenses, for
debts, for apparatus, or for any other
purpose, which may be found most ser
viceablc.
IF the fund proves TO be as useful
as is now anticipated, Mr.. Rockefeller
will undoubtedly make large additions
to 1t in future years.

It is the correct thing this year to
give as presents or remembranees only
suCh things as have some artistic sig
nihcance. Art, and 1t Is spelled by its
deyofees always with a great big capital
letter, is rapidly becoming the possession
OF the masses as well as OF the classes,
and to our credit be It noted thai even
the most utilitarian things Of everyday
life are taking on lines and outlines that
go far to disguise their unitarian pur-
poses.
With the advances in living. in the
amount OF money spent and earned in
our country, the custom Of giving what
one might term necessaries as gifts Is
happily a thing of the past The man
who gave mis- wife a new parlOr carpet
for Christmas, and the woman who pre-
scented her sou with some new red dan
mel underwear are completely out Of the
scheme Of things at present, and It Is

garded as luxuries that are supposed to
be really representative OF the Huietide
