MIR. ROCKEFELLER TALKS

Mr.. Roo kcfeller pays a warm trib-
ute to the memory OF the late DIR
William X. Harper, president of the
University of Chicago. and MAKE
without qualification the statement
which will be surprising to many
persons, that during the entire per

ty of Chicago, he never once either
wrote me a letter or asked me per-
sonally for a dollar of money for the
university"
He goes on to explain that, in this
as in all other cases. the gifts to the
university were the result of the
presentation of its needs made in
writing by the officers of the univer
sity, whose special duty it is to pre-
pare its budgets and suDerintend its

A STARTLING TALK
RELATING TO The
HOME
IBy Associated Press. |

Atlantic City. n. j.. Dec. 2S.-Men
and women from all parts of the un-
ion. interested in economic and so
Geological questions. are gathered
here stoda ttHt the annual meeting of
the,NNAmerican Sociological Society.
the American Economic Association
and the American Association for La
Dor Legislation and Statistics.
A remarkable address on How Do
Home Conditions React on the Fam
ily?" was presented by Mrs. Char
lotte Perkins Gilman. She traced the
biological. sociological and economic
history of marriage. the home, the
family. and in the course of her re-
marks made some rather unusual if
not startling statements relating to
moth erhood, the modern home, the
servant question and the relations OF
husband and wife. Here is one strit
ing excerpt:
THE industrial conditions of the
modern home are such as to delay
and often prevent marriage. Since
the home is supposed to arise only
from. marriage. it looks as though
the situation We're frankly suicidal.
So far. not seeing these things. we
have merely followed our world-old
habit of blaming the woman. She
used to be content with these condi-
tions; we say she ought to be now
back to nature! The woman refuses
to go back-the home refuses to go
forward-and marriage waits.
The initial condition of owner
ship, even without servitude. reacts
unfavorably upon the kind of mar
riage most desired. A woman slave
is not a wife. The more absolutely a
woman is her own mistress. in ac-
cepting her husband and her life
with him. the higher is the grade of
love and companionship open to them.
Again the economic dependence
of the woman initiates against a true
marriage in that the element of the
mercializes love and so Injuries the
family.
1T may be said that the family
with the male head cannot exist in
pure form without its original con-
comitants of absolute personal own
ership and exploitation of woman

indeed. it is degraded.
Polygamy is n low form of mar
riage; but. as modern polygamists
have held. IT at least tends to pre-
clude prostitution. The hichef mar
riage toward which we are tending
requires full-grown woman. no

New York. Dec. 2S.-If a combina-
tion to do business is effective in saw
ing waste and in getting better re-
suits. why is not combination far
more important in philanthropie
work?
In this question is set forth the
text of an article by John d. Rookie
feller. the head of the Standard Oil
interests. which is published in the
current issue of the World's Work
The general subject of Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's article is, THE Value of the Co
operative Principle in Giving.
The Standard Oil president goes on
to describe in some detail the work
of the general education board, which
he says has made or is making a care

resources, administrati ton and educa-
tional value. present and prospective.
of the institutions of higher learning
in the United States.
The board. he says. makes its con-
tribution averaging something like
million dollars year.
Some interesting general remarks
on the subject OF benevolence illumi-
nate Mr.. Rockefeller's point of view.
For instance, he says:
ITO help an inefficient. ill-located,
unnecessary school is waste. ! am
told by those who have given most
careful study to this problem that
it is highly probable that enough
money has been sauandered on un-
wise educational projects to have
built up national system of higher
education adequate to our need il
the money had been properly direct
ed to that end
Commenting upon the great mass
of appealing letters received, Mr..
Rockefeller says that sfour-fifths of
them are requests for money for per-
sonal use. with no other title to
consideration than that the writer
would be gratified to have it,"
