He was attired In a gray business suit, and. locking from his window out over the harbor he commented concisely on Fundamentalism. "The great thing is to apply our religious beliefs, then they will all h ive a spirit of cohesion. You cannot coerce; beliefs come with an inward conviction. Everything is as a w hole with all of us. Especially do we see this exemplified in rearing a family of children where the irrepresslve spirit of youth breaks forth and we feel the responsibility of fathers." John D. Rockefeller. Jr., was born In Cleveland, Ohio. He attended the public schools and Brown University. In 1901 he married the daughter of Senator Nelson W. Aldrich. When he graduated from Brown University some of his colleagues wanted him to join them in a trip around the world, but bis early Christian training asserted itself and he said: "I must go to my father and help him in his business enterprises and in his philanthropic work." Shortly after this his father retired from active business and on the shoulders of young John D. Rockefeller. Jr., fell many of the responsibilities. He continued consistent and persistent in his ideals. He was made chairman of the Board of the Rockefeller Foundation and trustee of the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research. A large portion of every day has been devoted to these activities. He Is the director of the General IMucation Board, the Bureau of Social Hygiene. the International Health Board and the China Medical Board. In his office at 26 Broadway he ac-

The magnitude and multitude of] his pliilanthropic activities can scarcely be conceived. He applied the principles of successful business in his church and I benevolent work. He has. while traveling abroad, looked into the necessities of health and hygiene as primary essentials for mere comfort. Few men of his wealth and*position have been more close and sympathetic with the difficulties besetting the average man. His analysis of* the mining situation J of Colorado was a long step in the decision towards a solution of many vexatious problems. He smiled when I asked the question. “Are you a Fundamentalist or a Modernist?” “1 um neither.” he replied wltli a ■ smile. *'l believe In the spirit of tolerance. Any man has a right to' his own beliefs and convictions, and' I am for freedom in religious beliefs j as one of the fundamental tenets of our government.” He has deep set eyes and hair] streaker! with gray, a square forehead. 1 and lias a clean and wholesome way| of looking at you and talking straight J to the point in conversation. In his office there is no display of ' elegance. It is simplicity itself. About medium in stature, he has the ' well-poised manner of a man who has executive and directive ability.

Decatur's eagers and fans can get a little consolation In the following: i Jefferson of Lafayette, tourney favorite. lost to Westpoint; South Bend lost to Lakeville; The Indianapolis schools were nil defeated and Southpost *von the tourney there; Rushville, named in the Big Ten many times during the year, lost to Connersville; Newcastle lost to Mooreland; Hartford City was bumped off by Bluffton who in turn lost to Liberty Center, anti Bunker Hill downed Peru. Wonder just liow many people in Indiana are looking at the map today to find out where Lakeville. Kirkland, Westpoint. Southport. Mooreland and Liberty Center are located. Some of them aren't even on the limp, but (heir basketball teams this year are helpiug a lot to put them there. Here's to Pennville. We hope they .defeat the winner of the RochesterI/akeville game and go far in the stale tourney. , The life of one high school eager was snuffed out st the climax of bis high school basketball career. Baxter. u Goshen high player, died Friday niglit, after his team had won its opening game. One report gave the cause of death as heart trouble and another said it was acute Indigestion. He was unable to play in the Friday afternoon game, but was out in a suit. Following hid death, the Goshen team forfeited Its next game and withdrew from the tourney. The sentiment in favor of a game between the Leaders and the G. E. team for the city championship is growing by (<-aps and bounds. There is a possibility of a three-game series. It is said. If present plans matcrallze. the two teems may get together for the first'game within a week or ten day as. If Northwestern can just win a Conference basketball game the IM321 s**asoa will be complete. Fauny Fanette says that rumor trtmut her being in a hospital at Portland Saturday was false.
