RocKEFELLER's GIFT.
Chairman of Education Board Tells
What VIII be Done With II.

New York, Feb. 9.--Frederick T.
Dates. chairman of the general edu-
cation board, to which John d. Rookie
teller gave $50, 000. 900 on Thursday. said
Yesterday that the income from Mr..
Rockefeller's prior gift of Sll,000O0O
viii be used to increase the resources
OF various educational institutions in
this country within the next decade. by
from 5000. 900 600 to s25o,000.000 That is
to say. the board will aim to stimulate
local pride ia. and generosity toward
universities and colleges throughout the
nation, and it's distribution of the in
come will usually be conditioned upon
the raising of larger amounts by the
recipients. Thus generally speaking,
MIR. Rockefeller's huge donation will
become nucleus for an amount for
education much larger than his recent
present to the board,
IT Is understood that the idea of the
elder Mr.. Rockefeller Is to make his flu
ture benefactions through his son, John
D. Rockefeller, Jr. This is said to be
indicated by his having made the gift
of last Thursday through the junior
Rockefeller. Ii is probable that the
young man will devote much of his time
hereafter TO administering the benevo-
lence of his father. AS an immediate
result of the big gift the board win eX-
tend its agricultural demonstration
work to all of the southern states. 1t is
predicted that this work. which consists
in conducting model farms on educa-
tional lines, means the agricultural re-
juvenation OF the south.
