Summaries of the results Of estab-
fishing postal savings-bank systems in
q few important countries have been
printed. Among these countries are
England, France, Russia and Austria
Hungary. The main feature of the sys-
TENS is that the government, through
Ats post-oficeS is the custodian of de-
posts in small amounts, especial at
,tention being paid to encouraging the
young to acquire the habit of saving.
In England one person in every seven
is a depositor in postal bank, and the
total amount Of the deposits in the
keeping Of the government is more
than four hundred million dollars. Al
though the system has never been test
ed in the United States, its adoption
has been urged by various public off,
cials OF high rank; and it is probable
than the more than satisfactory results
IN foreign countries will lead to its
establishment here.
