A RECITAL

Another OF those popular pupils re-
citals was given by Mr.. Clarence Hamil-

day afternoon. The pupils were assisted
by Mrs. Gilbert Carpenter. soprano, ana
Mr.. Albert Foster. violinist.
All the selections were well rendered,
especially those played by Misses Mansir
and Pratt and Mr.. Louis willemin. These
pupils are all still young in years. but
judging from their interpretations of the
various selections allotted them are the
possessors OF more than ordinary talent
which, coupled with the fine training they
are receiving under Mr. Hamilton ought
TO result in giving the musical society
of Providence several excellent pianists
later on.
Miss Pratt has appeared in many of Mr..

The Savings Bank.

"The savings banks in America have
generally weathered the financial storms
i'm fine shape" says John Gilmer Speed, In
Ainslee's "The first crisis OF serious
import was I'm 1897. the second in 1857 the
third in 1873 and the fourth In 1893. In
the first of these. IL the managers had
been faint-hearted. nearly all OF the saw
ings banks would have failed as none OF
them were then strong with great re-
serves Most Of them not only boldly
faced the situation. but also paid the In
terest which they had earned, the money
being advanced personally by the trus-
tees In the later panics no other pre-
caution has been necessary than TO en-
force the privilege. not ordinarily exer-
cised OF confining the withdrawal OF de-
posits to certain times following formal
notification OF an intention TO withdraw.
THE rate of interest possible for a saw
ings bank TO pay Is regulated. as has
been before suggested, by the rate paid
by the government on It's securities. This
rose I'm the Civil war period and has been
steadily declining, Before the Civil war
the rate paid by the savings banks was
usually per cent. during the war IL rose
to ! per cent, and so stayed for some
time; after the war, when there was a
-
panic OF 1873 not only per cent was
paid but several extra dividends as well.
Since 1878 the decline in the rate of inter-
est has fallen until az present the ruling
rate Is 3ih per cent though several banks
still pay per cent. The savings bank
