THE PROPOSITION MADE
ANY sum OF MONEY WHICH
THE COLLEGE RAlSES-OTHER
SCHOOLS TO PROFIT.

According to the statement of Pres.
r. l.. Kelley last night Earlham will
be one of the five fortunate colleges
in the state to rec Give the benefits OF
the donations of the general educa-
tional board founded by John D.
Rockefeller. Dr. Wallace Butterich,
executive officer of the board recent
~ conferred with the board of Earl
ham and the members expressed
themselves as being willing to com
ply with the stipulations necessary TO
secure endowments from this source.
The stipulation of most Importance
is the one generally attached to en-
dowments, that the college raise a
sum similar to the one desired to be
donated. The manner of securing this
fund, however, is unconditional and it
would be possible to use any other en-
dowment the college received, TO Sc
cure a like amount from this educa-
tional board
At the present time Earlham has
her hands full with raising The sum
necessary to secure the Bundy dor
mitory endowment fund, while their
sources. have already oear drained by
their requests for dcnaJious to secure
the Carnegie library funi Later. how
ever, 1t is likely that attempts will
be made to secure money for other
needed improvements and additions to
the college. The time for taking advan
tage of the Rockefeller endowment
is unlimited 1t is the int >1t,on of the
general educational board to give any
sum annually that the college desires
and can duplicate with similar
amount. The board has s10.000.000 at
its command at the present time and
can secure as much more as is want
ed which practically makes it impos-
sible for it to run gu: of fluids.

WANTS PAUPER ATTORNEY
JUDGE FOx'S SUGGESTION
If Commissioners viii Appropriate
$500 He Will Name Atty. p. J. Free
man to Represent Interests of
county's Poor.

Judge Fox of the circuit court is of
the opinion that Wayne county should
have pauper attorney. and he has
recommended the appointment of
such an official TO the county commits
sioners. Judge Fox placed his recon-
mendation in the form of a petition,
and suggests that the compensation
be placed at $500 per annum. Attor-
ney p. ]. Freeman will accept the po-
sition at that salary. and he will I'M
doubtedly be appointed in case the
commissioners create an Office of that
character.
The county last year paid out the
sum of $500 in fees to attorneys for
defending persons who could not af-
ford to employ legal talent. One of
the duties of the pauper attorney in
case one is appointed will be to look
after Juvenile cases. The county COM
missioners have Judge Fox's request
under advisement, and il is quite like
ly that they will grant it.
