dress urged the necessity Of the es-
adjustment of a financial school that
young men might be given a business
education along financial lines.
The report of the bank legislative
committee presenting a plan recon-
mending for credit or clearance cur
rency was taken up as q special order
of business. The report was read by
Arthur Reynolds, president Of the Ma
tional Bank of Des Moines, Ia. chair
man of the committee. At the conclu-
sion of the reading of the report a res
olution was offered by William George
of Aurora, ILL.,, that the report OF the
committee be adopted as a whole. re-
serving the right to leave the subject
up to general discussion. Instantly
delegates were on their feet protesting
and c. B. Hart of Wheeling. ". Va.
made a motion to take up the report
and discuss the ten sections of the
seriatin. President Hamilton declaT-
ed the motion out of order and that the
resolution of Nj. George was before
the convention. The chairs ruling was
protested and on a viva voce vote it was
not sustained. Then c. B. Hart again
made his motion to consider the pro-
posed currency plan, section by Sec
ton and it was carried.

troduced to reconsider the vote and this
was carried. The plan was then placed
before the convention for general dis
