BANKING I'm THE SCHOOLS
Why the Plan Is a Good One for the
Children.

From the Boston Transcript
Banking in the public, schools Is meeting
with much successrwherever It has been in
troduced. By it's means children are taught
to take care Of their pennies, which are
deposited in their, school banks, and these
seemingly insignificant sums soon amount
to dollars. The secret and essence Of thrift
tend to exalt things into higher value.
While it consists III tho obtaining and put
ting out of monsy and decides how and
at what limit WIZ must save and spend,
yet 1t moves in the higher ranges of our
nature. Thrift h 1s no. secrets It tells
frankly of forethSught" and exhibits the
process of saving tfof future use It looks
after little things and points the way to
carefulness. It reaches a thorough know
ledge of ones affairs and rs exact in its
dealings. It keeps secret account of its
credits and debts down to the cent and
reports its balanced accounts daily. It
keeps company with all the virtues. 1t an
tagonizes all the vices. It favors full
manhood and works out healthfuI results
from ofttimes most compromising begin
nings. --f-1 -r-s --,.s
The school may teach business form
without imparting the business craracter-
istic. but in school banking the latter is
the sole aim and design. 1t would not
present young man to business house
thoroughly conversant with business but
having self-indulging personal habits. On
the other hand. IT would send the hosts
of youth out into awaiting fields Of prac-
teal endeavor knowing how to keep a
dollar after 1T las been earned.
But the practice of the school banking
system is scarcely less advantageous to
the savings institutions receiving the de-
posts than to the vdepositors themselves
relative alone to financial considerations.
While the handling of a largely increased
number of accounts entails some extra ex-
pense and clerical labor yet savings banks
have uniformly founded in compromising
conditions, ample Justification for their CO.
operation with the school Parents and
friends have been stimulated by the ex-
ample of children noticeably increasing the
list of depositors and amount of deposits
The advantages of the savings bank have
been thus advertised to the public at a
slight expense.
The school savings bank system is now
in operation in 1910 schools of 118 cities,
situated in "a states of the Union and Of

SALARY LIMIT POSSIBLE.
Two Major Leagues to Agree Upon q
Scale Before Next Season.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


The reign of the high salaried base ball
player is limited to the termination of the
present contract under which he is work.
ing. This is as sure as the two major
leagues are working in harmony. Not only
does the trend of base ball affairs affirm
this statement but it was Indirectly ac-
knowledged by an official of National
League club to the writer today. Upon
further inquiry 1t was learned from Pitts
burg club official that a salary limit was
not the only scheme contemplated by the
American and National leagues at the con-
clusion of the present playing season.
The writer was reliably informed by
person connected with base ball that sala-
ry limit would go into effect upon the sign
ing of all men to contracts for 1904 and
thereafter. President Potter Gf the Phila-
delphia Club. President Dreyfus Of the
Pittsburg club and officials of both clubs
We're solicited to deny or affirm the allesa-
ton respecting salary limit. Ibut all pro-
fessed an ignorance of any sqch propcsl-
ton on the part of the National League
Despite these assertions. the writer did
draw out of an official of one OF the clubs
that national agreement on the lines of
the compact that existed between the old
American Association and the National
League would be made by the two big or
CARNATIONS before another playing season
rolled around. This was tantamount to a
declaration that salary limit would De one
of the parts of such an agreement.
Questioned further. this same official adj
mitted that necessary business relations be-
tween the two big leagues would bring
them considerably closer before another
year had elapsed. 1t is his opinion that the
old limit OF 81, 400 will again be the largest
amount that will be paid to players, while
the losses sustained by some of the club
owners during the war might lead them to
make the highest figures $500.
There is no denying the fact that the
players have reaped a harvest. Tue ex-
pansion of the American Lsague was a
great boom to them. and today many are
drawing salaries that are just double In
amount to what they were receiving when
the National had the major field in its mo-
nopolistfc grasp. 1t Is claimed that few
clubs will make money this year; that quite
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-06-11


a few will lose heavily: that the preserva-
ton of the game demands that salaries De
reduced and that both organizations SEQ
the urgent necessity Of such action
The signing of national agreement be-
tween the American and National leagues
will reduce base ball conditions to about
the same plane as they were when the
American entered the field as a ma ,or or
ganization Its mutual provisions will pro-
tect the interests of the 1.-TWO bodies 10 a
greater extent than even the peace agree
ment ratification did A board OF arbitra-
ton would be one of it's logical sequences
Such body will be found, to D, an urgent
necessity. for already clubs of both leagues
are angling for the same men and arbi-
ter of these contentious, will be Obliged to
award players claimed by the different
clubs. dASsl
The players will be powerless to fight tho
salary reduction. They will have no alter
native other than to play1;Or take up some
other business. The existence OF two major
leagues at peace makes this a hard tact.
Another league is impossible. and Il broth
erhood movement impracticable. Strikes,
labor unions or their own protective asso-
citation will avail them nothing. ard next
year it will be necessary for tnenl to Play
at a reduced wage or quit the game.
