LOAN FUND READY
FIRST OF NEXT YEAR
RaMgh. March 24.?The third
$5,000.000 loan fund for rural
schools, voled by the 192"? gener
al assembly, will not be available
until after January 1. 1925, It has
been announced from the Depart
ment of Public Instruction. ,
Although no thouRht has yet 1
been given to allotments, and no
applications have yet been acted
upon, a questionnaire was sent
out last summer, to ascertain the
need for special funds. It was
learned from answers to these
that between $7.000.000 and $8.-,
000.000 could be used to advan
tage.
Heretofore, schools drawing on'
the loan funds, two of which, to
taling $5,000.000 each, having
been taken up, were required to (
erect five-room buildings. Those
drawing from the next loan fund
will have to erect buildings con
taining not less than seven rooms.
The law limits the rate of Inter-:
eel to four and a half per cent. I
The money is loaned the counties
for a period of twenty years, at
the name rate of interest the state
has to pay on the bonds issuod to
float the loan fund. Form?rly.
the law was drawn so as to permit
the state to borrow money at not
In excess of five per cent How
ever, tho money has been bor
rowed at four and a half per cent.!
so the present law. that Is, the
law enacted by the 1925 general
assembly, limits the rate of Inter
est to that figure.
All loans made to counties have
to bo approved by the State Board
of Rducatlon. of which the Gov
ernor Is the chairman.

Calvin Coolld:o tho bright calci

Dwight Morrow is credited
with havlni. nioro Influence, poli
tical ami otherwise, with Mr.
Coolldge than any other man. And
It Is now ovidonco <?r Mr. Cool
I?1k''h political bravery that he
should counsel ko freoly with a
man who is a partner In J. P.
Morgan A Company, whose fa
mous hanking house stands at tho
immortal corner of "itroad and
Wall." This is said to ho the ago
of hypocricy lu politics, when the
loft hand must never bo permit
ted to know the carryings on oC
the right.
Yet Mr. Coolldge bravely file?
in the face or all political custom
and <4iti-rt?lns time after time a
man high In the counsels of Mor
gan.
It is all because Dwight Mor
row wits a class-mate of the Pres
ident's at Amherst. They were
graduated together In 1895. Mr.
Conlldgo remained in New Eng
laud; Mr. Morrow went to Nev<
York. Both took up the practice
of law. Fly 1914 Dwitfht Morrow
had won his way Into the Morglrt
firm ami had become possessed of
much of this world's goods. At
that time Calvin Coolldge was
presiding over the Massachusetts
state senate and had virtually
nothing beyond his legislator's
salary. The friendship between
the two men always has been
close. Mr. Coolldge cherishes thij
days and the men of Amherst, it
was at college that he made the
few clone personal contacts of a
life governed so largely by a dls- I
position of almost complete seclu- j
slon. "4
While Dwlght Morrow stands
high In the Amherst bloc he is
not, however, a New Euglander.
He was born In Huntington. West
Virginia. Ho has none of the New
Knuland expressions or pronuncl- ' J
nfionft. He is In fact what you ]
might cull a typical New Yorker
and about him there Is that Inde
finable air of well being-*?Of
euphoria that goes with a mem
ber of tho Morgan firm. Frank
St<arns you would pick at once as
a friend of the President's, but
tho classification of Mr. MoYrow
would be a little more dlfTlcnlt If
you did not know he was a "grad"
of old Amherst In the class of '95.
Like Mr. Coolldge and Mr.
Stearns, Mr. Morrow is a trustee
of the college nnd he Is Just ono
year younger than the President.
lielng a "typical New Yorker,"
Dwlght Morrow lives In New Jer
soy. He not only lives there but
has always been prominent in the ^
welfare work of the state. At on?
time he was chairman or some
thing of fho prison Inquiry com
mission and of the state hoard of
Institutions and agencies. During
the war he was intensely active.

tles wa* as adviser to the allied
mnrltlme transport council an.l
"for exceptionally meritorious and
distinguished services" In con
nection with the military shipping
matters, Pershing awarded him
the Distinguished Service Medal.
Mr. Morrow's influence with tho
President first eamo to the fore
at the Cleveland convention last
yer?r. He was credited among
orb i things with selection of Will
ll' dx'*, of Denver, as treasurer
of the Natlonsl Republican Com

nationally nt th<> time, but the Jj
