WANT $4,000 FOR
FAIRGROUNDS

The League OF Improvement Societies In
Rhode Island discussed last evening in
the parlors of the Young Mems Christian
association, the division of the appropria-
tion for the completion OF the speedway
and also the establishment of an athletic
field at Roger Williams park. II was
argued that 81, 900 was appropriated TO be
divided eqally between the two projects
and that the contracts for the speedway
alone involve the expenditure OF more
than the sum appropriated. Members
who spoke on the subject were unani-
nous in the opinion that at least $4,000
of the appropriation be given for the COM
pletion of the Fairgrounds at the park
The meeting was called to order shortly
after O'Clock. with ii delegates from
the affiliated societies throughout the
state present and President Edwin "A.
Noyes in the chair.

was to take action on an invitation ex-
tended by the Pawtuxet Old Home and
Improvement association to hold a field
day in Pawtuxet during Old Home Week.
II was finally decided that the associa-
tions affiliated with the league win hold
their annual field day on the Afternoon
and evening OF Aug. 1, that day being
selected because OF the water sports and
illuminations to be held off the Paw
tuxet shore as part OF the celebration OF
Ola Home week.
The association in Pawtuxet had al
ready formed committee to wait upon a
number OF property holders In that town
10 ask them to rebel against billboard
advert sements. and the plan had been
very successful so far.

ROCKEFELLER
KNOCKED" PET
INSTITUTION

Chicago. July 10.--John ID. Rockefeller
IL disappointed in his pet institution, the
university of Chicago TO which he has
Kiven almost s20.0oO000 OF his oil profits.
This became known yesterday and Il
came in the report OF conversation
with the Oil King causing tremendous
eensation among the faculty and stu
dents.
II was remarked at the time that he
did not visit the university. though he
had never before failed TO do so when
In Chicago.
Seated in an automobile with his
brother. William Rockefeller. and y
friend. the richest man IN the world
gave his criticism OF the university In a
terse reply 70 question as TO what ne
thought of 1t and it's work.
.The only regret have concerning the
university.'' he said, "is that there are
not as many men as successful as i
honed there would be after their school
ing there.
"But am advised by some OF my
sriends that the future may show better
results than the present IL the future
will show that IL was a wise undertaking,
] shall be satisfied" /.
Nothing has happened In the history OF
the university since IL become the pene-
6ctarv of the Rockefeller wealth which
than this statement.
Members of the faculty In part and al
most the entire student body represented
during the summer course aired their
sentiments as to the erroneous views en-
tertained by MIR. Rockefeller. They COM
bined the following points:
It Is impossible to interpret Mr. hocke-
feller's meaning of success
IL success means making money, propa-
bly not as many of the graduates nave
been as successful as Mr.. Rockefelier
might wish.
In proportion to It's short existence tsix-
teen years) the university probably turns
out as many successful men and women
as any other institution In the United
States.
Making money alone does not necessa-
rilv mean success. The business course IL
most practical, and In no other univer-
sitv are the students given the opportu-
n,tv 70 brush up against so many success
ful business men as In Chicago. Theory.
thoroughness, application to duties ana
hard work are taught-the primary prin-
ciples that should make graduates sue
ceseful.
Harry Pratt Judson, president OF the
university, declined to discuss Mr.. hocke-
feller's statement.
