'Here at the family board, each • plea is discussed. Almost every one, elicits, con:inert from, Mr: or Mrs. fRocket slier on the 'philosophy of giv- ing: 'God has bestowed great 'riches on them as a trust, and what they do with those riches is not merely their •own affair but Heaven's also. A gift sthraild alvdays be useful, It should preferably serve many men. It should be given to a .worthy, and uplifting ., cause. It should .stimulate a principle particularly dear to the elder Rockefeller's.' heart, based on the, practical lobsereratieri that if bene- ficiaries are given everything they • ask for they ..slhow less initiative and lees zeal. Also, unless a gift is made ' conditional upon 'others' giving some- -- • .- thing, everyone drops 'out assoon as ,a Rockefeller comes in and the Rocke- feller 'is lett :holding the entire bag. A good ruleOf thumb: keep small gifts under 10 per cent, of the total !amount nee'dod; in important projects sive up to 54) ;per cent. on condition that the 'rest -is raised eletswhere. - Inculcated from bayheo'd with this doctrine, 1Vtr. Junior, as his aides and assodiates call him. ' has felt more heavily than any other man in the world 'the weight Of the problem of giving. lVlast men are absorbed in the problem of making Money. Few indeed are called to their' lives to the inverse, -problem 'of spending it. 'But of it Mr: Junior has made his major lifework, and he takes his mission lin life so seriously that no detail of any project is 'too small to attract his interest. He take's, 'his • acleiseas so tseriansly that, while any 4:Me of theart may be 'overridden , in oonfeeence, none of theta ever- speaks in vain.
