SAVINGS BANKS.
More of Then. Needed I'm the West ana
Gnufh


South.
In this country 80 per cent. OF the
savings banks and savings deposits are
In the New England states and New
York. throughout the west and south,
except In the larger places, II Is fmpoe-
sible for private enterprise TO furnish
sayinrs facilities sufficient 10 meet the
needs Of the people. BY am investiga-
ton made under the direction OF the
posr MASTER general In 1892 the distances
Of savings repositories from post offices
(which are intended to be centrally To-
cated) were ascertained to average as
follows: In the New England states,
10 miles: In the middle states, 25 miles;
in the southern states, 33 miles; In the
western states 90 miles, and In the
Pacific states, SO miles. This Is re-
markab.e showing and clearly indi-
Gates the need of bringing some safe
and convenient depository within reach
Of these people.
The total number Of depositors In
savings hanks In the United States Is
now n little over 100000, or about one
in fourteen of the population In Eng
land one person in seven is a depositor
in the postal savings bank, TO say norh-
ing of the depositors IN private saw
ings banks, who probably are as numer-
Gus in proportion TO the population as
In This country. The fact that the bulk
Of the savings deposits in this coun-
try Is in New England and New York
Is accounted for by some on the ground
that the people there are more econom-
ical and thrifty than in the other parts
Of the country; but the advocates OF
postal savings banks assert that the
people OF the south and west would
be equally saving we're they given hke

The words fell like q wall from the
