Special Correspondence to The Press
NEW YORK, March 6-"You can
tell the people of America that we
will begin giving Mr.. Rockefeller's
fund at once"
Frederick T. Gates made this
statement in an interview with The
Press correspondent at his Office,
26 Broadway, in which he described
the financial workings of the great
fund of $32 100000 which Mr. Rock
efeller has given to the colleges OF
America to be distributed through
the general education board.
Mr.. Gates is chairman of the
financial committee Of the board,
and in his hands rests this immense
fund. He does not propose to let
it remain in his hands long, how
, ever. With the other officers of the
board he has already begun the dis.
tribution to various institutions,
west and south.

regarding the method in which this

received scores and hundreds of let
ters from colleges and all kinds of
institutions of learning asking for
a portion of this $40 100000.
Now the 1872 600 900 itself is not
to be disbursed. This Is a mistake.
And 1t would be financial mistake
to give away the principal of the
fund. The income from this 1872
100000 will be paid out through the
channels of the board. and we shall
begin at once.

at our disposal will amount approx,

1t soon dawned on him, however,
that the ball had disappeared in

enough to see the fielders frantic

BY this time the crowd was
whooping and bowling in delight
and Parrot with but backward
glance bolted on to the plate. The
fielder had finally found the ball
and hurled it to the plate. but Par

This board is made up of eight
men and in this lies the secret Of
our economical administration. 1t
cost us about $4,000 last year to
administer the funds then in hand,
and this cost was very small consid-
ering the size of the. funds"
DR.. Butterick, secretary of the
general education board, cites the
following as typical case which
shows the method of handling re-
quest by college to be made a
beneficiary of the fund:
"The college president, or some
member of the board of trustees,
writes to the board and asks for an
application blank. The reply he
receives states that the board has
no application blanks and asks him
to write out his proposition, giving
detailed information about his col
lege. its aims, plans, desires, and a
copy of its charter and financial
statement.
The answer nearly always indi-
Gates to the board many things
which 1t would be impossible to
learn from an answer on printed
blank. The financial statement, its
form as well as it's substance often
indicates how the institution keeps
its books and its ideas of account
ing The description of the college,
plus what they want it to be, dis
closes their ideas of college.
Every detail of the information
reported, together with the request,
is tabulated and filed at the Office
of the board. SO that it can be found

Frederick f. Gates Is Baptist
minister. 81 years old. His father
before him was Baptist minister
on $400 year. The young man edu-
Gated himself, and finally was given
a charge in Minneapolis.
He showed his administrative
abilities when In six weeks he
raised $4,000 for a small academy
in Minnesota, and he was then
made chief executive officer of the
American Baptist Education So

In 1889 he was instrumental in
persuading Rockefeller to create

poor Baptist preacher then became

Associated Press to bismarck Tribune

Associated Press to Bismarck Tribune
New York, April 6. The annual
dinner of the Critters club was
held in this city tonight and was
made the occasion for speeches by a
number of prominent New York state
persons, including former Governor
Odell, d. Cady Herrick and others.
The motto of the club is .tSoc ct
Tuum." There were many quips and
jokes and humorous songs. Odell in
the course Of his speech said, ..eyery
age has its foibles, it's yagaries, its
strenuous men and times when the
voice of the sfoi.s like that of the
grasshopper, is b1rd ening the land.
The time comes when there are fewer
diseases than remedies, more charla-
tans than physicians and more ap-
parent faults than virtues.
Some men have become famous
within the boundaries of their own
egotism.
Give me the simple man in prefer
3 r 80 TX
ence to him whose constant banker
ing for power and pelf has distorted
his imagination and led him to the.
belief that his honesty is the only
simon pure article and that all other
members of society are cheats, frauds
and liars. Z
Tt takes something more than
power to inlet potential political
schastisement, to climb hills and to
shoot, to makesa brave man. s
.sThe brayest man is he who can
discern his own faults and make both
confession and reparation for them.
Dignity is characteristic Of the gem
tleman. Responsibility should bring
with it respect for judgment; but
when there is sacrifice of both dig
nifty and responsibility through ut
terances that are incompatible with
! either or both, that man is not a
great man who thus INDUCES, no mat
ter if the ignorant applaud him for
these utteranceS. 3;@ Is
THAT paternal government which
seeks to take away from the indi-
vidual the power of initiative and
performance which aims to safeguard
him in the same manner in which
we protect an infant, not only fails
in its purpose, but it a positive in
jury and detriment to the community.
sit is much better for us to dis
agree with the great and intelligent,
to be tenacious Of our rights, than
to be like dumb animals called &C
quiescent because 1t is easier to be
followers than leaders, followers OF
those who. like ourselves, are but
human and liable to error.

His book, which was published some

Critics of the book have declared
that it contains a burlesque on a
dozen or more preachers well known
in New York life. Conditions de-
scribed in the book are said to be
strangely like those existing in GER
