Bank OF England Prepared to Do What
at- Is Permissible.
London, Sept. 16.-At the seml-anpual
meeting OF Jthe Bank of England to-
day the governor, Hugh G. Smith, said :
You are probably aware OF the pro-
posal laid before the government in the
summer by the United States and
france, whereby this country might in
crease Its use of silver as a contribution
ITO All international agreement which,
while not affecting our gold standard,
might enable the mintS of France and
America to resume free coinage. Among
the proposals was one asking the bank
to hold the amount of silver permissible
under the act Of 1874 as against Its
notes."
The Governor then read letter, dated
July 29th, addressed to the Chancellor
of the ESchequer, Sir Michael Hicks
Beach. 1t was as follows:
Referring to our conversation, we
beg to say the bank is prepared to car
ry out what is laid down as permissible
in the bank charter, viz: To hold one
tifth of the bullion, held against its
note issue, In silver, provided always
that the French mint is again open to
the free coinage of silver, and that the
price at which silver is procuraDle and
salable is satisfactory"
Replying to the questions, the govern
or said the bank had no negotiations
with the United States Monetary Com
missioners, adding:
We have bought no silver. All we
have done Is to agree, under certain
circumstances, to carry out what Is
permissible under the act of 1914"

1t will be seen by the above that the
total enrolment exceeds the capacity
OF the schools by IS, which number is
very likely TO be considerably Increased
before the year is out. The discrepancy
Is particularly large in the case OF the
Bank street school, there being rs more
pupils than the accommodations of
building comfortably allow. The Boush
street school is 16 above the limit, and
the Fenchurch street school has en-
rolled Is over the accommodations.
Many applicants for admission have
been turned away and many more will
share the same fate. UP to the pres
ent little has been done beyond the ar
rangement Of classes, the assigning OF
