tween the visits of the National Bank examiners
In other banks this examination is made every
fortnight by the employees themselves.

accounts of the nrst teller on a certain day, We
notify him suddenly at O'Clock at the close OF the
davis business that he need not come down on
the morrow The second and third tellers. with
another employe. then ordered to inspect his
accounts and report 10 me. This is the modern
system of protection against detaCatiOn and ma
nipulaJion OF accounts, and has been employed
successfully by US for If some other houses
had been as careful recent breaches of faith the
part of men in responsible places would not have
