Thomas M. Debevoise to Frederick T. Gates, 7 October 1925

Thomas Debevoise, counsel to the General Education Board, writes to Frederick Gates that binding contracts are unnecessary: "Most of the schools which receive money from the board come back at least a second time, and the possibility of their needing additional help should lend all the inducement necessary to make them follow the ideas of the board."
