In 1890 Alexander Hamilton originated
the plan Of Bank OF the United states.

"The scheme was adopted by congress
and approved by Washington and dur

disposed Of all It's stock at a profit" In
1916 the United States bank at Phila-
delphia was rechartered with cap
ital Of $4,000. 900 and established
branches at Baltimore, Richmond, Sa-
vannah and other financial centers Of
that time, The parent bank held a con-
trolling interest IN these branches,
which were known as offices OF deposit
and discount and were organized as
separate banks, each with It's president,
cashier and board Of directors. Each

At present, however. financial affairs
are In a far different shape from those
OF that period. II no longer takes a
week or more, as II took then TO travel
from New York to Baltimore and the
banking laws have crystalized into
something tangible and safe. The ma
tIonal banks have been established for
the past thlrty-eight years and 1t Is
claimed that the national banking
act" has been so amended as TO permit
Of the carrying out Of the scheme men,

While the aims and purposes Of the
trust companies and banking houses
were originally radically different. It
would seem Of late that they are travels
ing along conyerging lines, and the lat
ter are complaining that the former are
infringing upon their prerogauyes. The
chief competition Is IN the securing OF
deposit accounts. but there g. still a
vast difference In the character Of those
accounts. which will appear when the

safely asserted that there is no other
body Of men and women In existence
that performs such service TO asplr-
ing humanity as this national assocla-
ton. And 1t Is done gratuitously, too,
with only few exceptions.
The association ia divided into eight
cen departments, comprising every
known and important phase of educa-
tlonal work, as the national council,
kindergarten. elementary, secondary,
higher, normal, guperintendence, sell
ence, school administration, library,
deaf. dumb and feeble minded and In
dian education.
The following partial programme will
indicate the scope OF the work. Among
the 100 papers and topics announced
for discussion at the Minneapolis con-
vention are: "The Pressing Problems
Of Secondary Education" by President
Butler OF Columbia university; 'lnfiu-
ence and Responsibility OF the Teach

James Wilson. United States secretary
Of agriculture: Higher Education and

John Dewey Of the University Of Chi
cago Among the specialists who will
contribute papers and promote discus
slons is Professor Alexander Graham
Bell OF telephone fame, who, as Is well
known. Is an authority on the educa-
ton OF the deaf and dumb.
Every topic, In fact. within the pur-
view OF educationlsts will be discussed
and so far as possible In oil It's bearings
upon the yexatious problems Of peda-
gogy. There viii be an interchange and
a possible clashlng Of IDEAS there win
be battles royal between the intellec-
tual giants which It will be a treat to

goal Of its financial ambition. The re-
ports which are presented TO the MEM
bers with their tickets are considered
by educators to be the most valuable
contribution TO educational literature
and are eagerly sought. They have
beens issued annually for more than
forty years. Several OF the earlier vol
umes are out Of print, and from the
small pamphlet sent out at the begin

There Is food for thought in this
statement. and II Is also a fact that
the trust never dies Mere individuals

then they die and are gathered to their
fathers But the trust rolls on. And
yet, when we come to investigate, the

Within the past decade the number Of
large trusts in big cities has more than
doubled and It would be difficult TO
estimate the amount Of capital em-
ployed But, says Mr. Lockwood of the
North American Trust company "the
enormous business now done by these
companies has not apparently injured
the banks. Twenty years ago but two
or three banks had deposits aggregat-
ing $50 900 0OO Today fifteen New York
clearing house banks have more than
$4,000 900 deposits, seven Of which have
over s5O,OOO0OO and one over 100000

stitution accredited with the daring
conception OF establishing a great cen.

ENG OF THE LARGEST ORGANIZATION OF TEACHERS THE WORLD HAS SEEN

In How TO Teach the Teachers Pro-
lessor s. G. Williams IN 1884 told the
assembled seekers after truth that the
purpose OF pedagogy rs TO prepare the
mind and heart OF the future teacher
that he may readily receive the entire
boy into school and that in teaching
him he may so bear In mind what the
future man would wish TO be that he
may truly represent that coming man
In the boy"
II was decided IN the discussion anent
the ''lttle red schoolhouse," or the
country school, that good morals and
good manners constitute an essential
part OF an educational equipment. The
incubation OF patriotism, OF respect
for law and order Of whatever tends to
make good citizen, Is Of as much Inn
portance IL small as In large school.
Regularity, punctuallty, obedience self
control, are as necessary In the country
as In the city school,"
II win be noted by these excerpts
from reports Of previous meetings that
the associated teachers do not waste
their time In discussing abstract the
cries, but get right down to business on
plane where all may understand,
Some Of the topics In the forthcoming
congress. for example, are; Language

Value OF the Study OF Nature In the
