The Bankers Magazine notes an
effort in banking circles to help bank
clerks to acquire a broader knowledge
of the banking business 5A4oe4- a
course of study that can be pursued
without interfering with their req ar
business"
Many bank clerks seem to wish for
means of self education so as to pre-
pare themselves for the higher duties"
Of their business. The recent eonven-
ton of the American Bankers asso-
citation voted $4,000 to give a scheme
of education a start. AS a rule bank
ers, it appears, work by 1.-The rule of
thumb" They learn by practice and
gradual accretion of knowledge, not
having any sort cut to general princi-
pies.
The Magazine shows this entertain
ingly. ION examining" it says, "the
questions which it is proposed to pro-
pound to bank clerks to enable them
to educate themselves by discovering
the answers thereto the wonder at once
arises that up to this time the bank
ing business of the country has been
carried on with any success at all
without this knowledge, which it is
now proposed to impart, being pos
sessed by bank employees. Some of
the eminent bankers at the convention,
among them Mr.. Cromwell himself,
confessed that they did not think they
could offhand answer these questions.
Mr.. Thompson of the SeaDoard Ma
tional Bank of New York, an institu'
ton which ~propounded a series OF
banking conundrums to it's employees,
jestingly said that the officers in ask
ing these questions desired to educate
their bright young employees SO that
they might do the work. III the bust.

Northern Wisconsin Development.

Northern Wisconsin Development.
That rapidly developing terri
tory which occupies the northern
half of Wisconsin is not new
enough to cause the hardships
and vicissitudes Of frontier life,
and not old enough to keep
away the intending settler on ac
count Of exorbitant land prices.
1t is in that stage of partial de-
velopnent which gives creates
opportunity to bring it to the
highest point of perfection and
prosperity. Schools, goodroads
and other improvements are go
ing IN. All that is needed, is
a small capital. Drawn and
brain, supplemented by push and
energy will do the rest. The
iron ore, mari. kaolin and CLAW
beds, the timber and the rich soil
give equal opportunity TO the
settler and the manufacturer.
Land is cheap and can be pur,
chased on easy terms.
THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL R'Y.
offers facilities for the quick and
cheap transportation of it's pro.
ducts and as the line penetrates
the very center of this vast north
ern territory, choice Of location
is not confined to any one par
ticular locality.

tlful and rich country can be oh

WISCONSIN FRUIT WINS
ZIG PRIZE AT PAN.AM-
ERlcAN EXPOSITION.

Al the meeting of the Wisconsin
Commissioners to the Pan-American
Exposition, held at the Hotel Pfster,
Milwaukee, Dec, ii, President w. A.
Van Brunt Of the Commission said:
I'VE feel very much pleased at hav-
ing been able to turn back $4,000 of the
$25, 200, appropriated by the state leg
islature for the state exhibit, which
will be paid into the state treasury at
once.
1--WE are especially gratifed at excell-
ing all the other states on our fruit
and seed exhibits and in getting Sc
cond prize on the forestry exhibit, in
competition with the splendid exhibits
made by Oregon, Washington and
other states.
Surprised at Apple Prize.
"Our sweeping success in conpec-
ton with our exhibit of apples was a
genuine surprise, but was none the
less appreciated on that account.
When the State Horticultural society
asked the board to help it in making
an exhibit, soon after our appoint
ment, and other commissioners were
opposed to granting its request, think
ing that it would be impossible for
Wisconsin to make creditable show
ing in competition with the fine fruit
growing states of the East. But the
officers of the society were persistent
and we finally voted to allow them
$500, more to get rid of them than for
any other reason. In the face of this
lack of encouragement the society
went to work and made an exhibit that
won more medals than that of any
other state in the Union. After seeing
what they were doing, we voted them
an Increased amount, sufficient to make
them whole on their expenses. The
officers OF the society, and especially
DIR. I. E. Loope of Eureka, its presi-
dent, are entitled to the heartiest
praise for the splendid showing made
by the fruit exhibit. There were more
than fifty varieties of apples shown in
their exhibit at one time, and some of
them were so pretty that we were
charged with painting them. Our
fruit exhibit was handicapped, too, by
our inability to show our perishable
fruits, such as berries, which were
shown by the states closer to Buffalo
than is Wisconsin.
''Our lumber exhibits, which have
been donated to the state, and will
doubtless be preserved, were also fine,
as were the exhibits of manufacturers.
Although we had exhibits in almost
every branch of manufacturing, we
could have made a better showing if
times had been less prosperous, as
many firms were actually too busy to
make exhibits. We did particularly
well, toe, in the line of dairy exhibits,
getting higher marks in the monthly
scores during two of the six months.
We also secured the highest score on.
one kind of cheese during the whole
season.
