Would Form a Huge
Philanthropic
Trust

MT EW YORK, Dec. 2s.--'If COM
bination to do business is effec-
tive in saving waste and in get
ting better results, why is not COM
bination far more important in phil
anthropic work. In this question
is set forth the text of an article by
John d. Rockefeller. head of the
Standard oil Interests, published IN
the current issue of the World
work. The general subject of
Rockefeller's article is the value OF
the cooperative principle in CIV
ing"
Rockefeller expresses the beiieI
that the general idea Of co-opera :
tion in giving fer education scored
"a real step in advance" when An
drew Carnegie consented to become
a member OF the general education
board, "for in accepting a position
in this directory he has, it seems to
me. stamped with his approval this
vital principle of cooperation In
aiding educational institutions,
Rockefeller goes on to describe In
detail the work of the general edu-
cation board which he said has made
or is making a careful study of the
location. aims. work, resources, adj
mfnistration and educational value,
present and prospective, of the in
stitutions of higher learning in the
United States. The board, he says,
makes its contribution. averaging
something like $4,000, 900 q. year. on
the most careful comparative study
of needs and opportunities through
out the country.
Some interesting general remarks
on the subject of benevo1ence iilu-
inmate Reckefeller's point of view,
For instance. he says:
ITO help an inefficient, i'll located,
unnecessary school is a waste
of Roman Catholic methods
Rockefeller said that he has seen
the organization of the Roman
church secure better results with a
given sum OF money than other
church organizations are accustomed
to secure from the same expendi-
ture.''
Commenting upon the great mass
OF appealing letters received Rookie
feller says that four-ffths of them
are requests for money for personal
use, with no other title to consider
alton than that the writer would be
gratified TO have it,
Rockefeller pays warm tribute
to the memory of the late DIR. Will
liam r. Harper. president of the
University OF Chicago. and makes
without qualification the statement
which will be surprising to many
persons. that during the entire pc
riod of his presidency of the Univer-
sity of Chicago he never once either
wrote me a letter or asked me per-
sonally for dollar of money for the
university"
Rockefeller goes on to explain that
in this as in all other cases the gifts
to the university were the result of
the presentation of it's needs made in
writing by the officers of the uni
versity whose special duty it is to
prepare its budgets and superintend
its finances. 1t is not personal in
teryiews and impassioned appeals
but sound and justifying worth that
should attract and secure the funds
of philanthropy. The people who
are constantly importuning me for
personal interviews err in supposing
that the interview is the best way"

DEMAND TO BE HEAVY
FOR NEXT BOND ISSUE
Number of Inquiries From East
Gives Assurance of Big
Premium

The next issue of municipal bonds
will undoubtedly command a handsome
premium. Already inquiries from the
east are being received in this city
and the demand appears to be unlim-
tied.
AS the price of bonds goes up. the
interest return to the purcha ser goes
down. and if the price goes down the
interest fiuctuates upward. The pre-
vious issue of San Franciscos new
municipal bonds. originally subscribed
on a basis of s4.25, are now selling on
a 81 basis. In an article several days
ago it was printed that that issue was
selling at a $40 basis. which is incor-
rect and which would indicate that
the price of the bonds had dropped
