WANTS S20,OOO,OOO
 SPENT IN 25 YEARS
Believes Future Generations Should Provide Own Charity

Chicago. May l5.-tF-Jullus Tosenwald. millionaire philanthro- pist. believes future generations should provide their own philan- ti1ropies. He so expressed himself in eNplaining his request that the Julius Rosenwald fund. which now exceeds $.o.ooo,ooo be fully expend- cd within 25 years after his death.
 Mir. Rosenvald made an additional gift of so,oooooo 10 the fund yes- terday. turning over 10 1t oo,ooo shares of Scars -Roebuck stock of par 5000.
 Times Change
 Times arc changing 50 rapidly that 1t Is impossible for us to pre- dict the needs of future generations" Mr. Rosenwald said. For that req son l have asked the trustees to give away the entire fund within c5 years after my death.
 T realize that such a stipulation is contrary to current practice. but believe that the greatest good can come through the use Of the entire sum. both principal and interest, by the present generation.
 Tn keeping with that ideal have refrained from establishing cndow- r1ents for universities and other in- stitutions to which I have made gifts apart from the fund. For all Ne know. perhaps some day our uni versailles may be solf-supporting or State-endowed and therefore not de- pendent upon individual gifts To my mind. forecastng societys needs loo years from now is fooIhardy."
