Schools Given
Blank Check
By Rockefeller
MORRILTON, Ark., Oct. JO
Supt. V. L. Boren of the Morrilton
school district talks like man
who has witnessed a miracle.
One day he was stniEglinf with
budgetary controls to .cope with
rising costs and expanding enroll
ment in this city of 5.500 people.
The next day he was busy collect
ing da. and making plans tor a
model educational system.
The miracle happened one even
ing when millionaire Winthrop
nockefoller called Boren and the
Morrilton School Board to his
palatial Vme for dinner.
His proposition was short:
Would the people n( Morrilton be
interested in building a model
rlucational system if he picked
up the tab
Wanted the Best
Rockefeller did not mention a
specific sum. He simply wanted
iie het that money could buy
The Morrilton school men, aided
by "state and federal educators
put their dreams on paper and
estimated the cost at 2'j million
dollars. Rockefeller didn't bat an
eye.
I can't think of words to de
scnte it." Boren said. "I've never
heard of anything like it. It's fan
tastic and wonderful "
Kach phae of the program will
be submitted to Rockefeller for
appruval on a year-to-year basis.
Kur the present hool year, he
has given or promised H'iO.OOO
a new $374,000 elementary school
and about $80,000 lor a program
to enrich the curriculum.
